Recently named Good Food Guide Regional Restaurant of the Year, the two-hatted Hunter Valley icon EXP needs little introduction. Hunter Culinary Association is pleased to present this one-day-only EXP long Sunday lunch event as part of April's Newcastle Food Month program. For this special occasion, EXP will take over Roundhouse, bringing one of the Hunter Valley's most awarded dining experiences to the heart of Newcastle.
Owner and chef Frank Fawkner will present a curated tasting menu showcasing EXP's intimate, produce-driven approach to modern Australian dining. The menu is built around the best seasonal produce available, celebrating local growers, native ingredients and the quiet craft behind every dish. Expect bold, clean flavours, thoughtful technique and the refined details EXP is known for, from house-made ferments and condiments to carefully considered finishing touches.
Each course will be paired with matched wines selected to complement the menu and highlight the depth and diversity of Australian wine. The pairings are designed to move seamlessly with the food, creating a considered progression from first course to final sip.
Set high above the city, Roundhouse provides the perfect backdrop for a long, relaxed Sunday lunch, with sweeping views, elegant design and a sense of occasion that elevates the experience. This is a rare opportunity to experience one of the Hunter Valley's most awarded restaurants in the heart of Newcastle.
