A tobacco shed that feeds a hundred and twenty people.
The leaf stopped coming in 2008. The sheds stayed. Ruth and Ed Costenaro turned the drying shed into a dining room, the grading shed into a kitchen, and have been cooking in it ever since.

30Minimum booking
One venue, and the kitchen comes with it
There is no separate caterer to book, no hire company to coordinate, and no minimum bar spend. Ruth cooks, the room seats 120, and the lawn is there if the weather holds.
Weddings
Say it on the lawn, eat in the shed. Canapés through to dessert, a dance floor, and a bread roll with every meal.
Functions and events
Birthdays, reunions, work nights, club dinners, Christmas lunches, wakes. Two entertainment areas, so a hundred people and a dance floor still fit.
Catering, off site
The same kitchen, delivered. Finger-food platters and sit-down meals for halls, sheds, wineries and homes across the Ovens and King valleys.
Homemade, home grown, home produced
Northern Italian cooking, done at volume without tasting like it. Pasta made on the bench. A complimentary antipasto platter to start, and brewed coffee with something sweet to finish.
The lemon tart is the one people come back for. It has been on the menu since the first year and it is not negotiable.
