*NEW* Grilled Bushberry Spiced Shrimp Skewer with Sweet and Sour Vegetables and Coconut Chili Sauce – $7.00
This is a relatively basic and unremarkable dish. On the positive side, the shrimp is not fishy. It’s well-cooked. But other than the enjoyable sweet chili sauce, there’s not a lot going on here. The vegetables are bad — they’re kind of soggy and don’t have a good flavor. Five shrimp for $7 is a decent value, but this still gets a low rating.

Roasted Lamb Chop with Mint Pesto and Crushed Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips – $8.75
The meat was rare. It was soft, tender, and fell apart when we cut it. It had a great flavor with a good lamb note, although the mint pesto was strong (and delicious). We were disappointed that the “potato crunchies” turned out to be crushed up potato chips, and not in very small pieces. They did add a nice bit of salt and crunch though. Overall, this was a really delicious dish, especially if you enjoy rare meat. If you don’t, this may be a dish to pass up. With the sauce, it was a little greasy, so be sure to grab some napkins. We won’t judge you if you lick your plate clean!

Lamington: Yellow Cake with Raspberry Filling with Chocolate and Coconut – $4.75
If you’re craving cake while visiting the festival, we highly recommend this one! The chocolate, which is covering the outside, tastes like dark chocolate. Topping the chocolate is a crunchy coconut, which is definitely noticeable, but not overpowering. The raspberry jam in the middle is a bit of a more subtle taste but still adds some sweetness. The entire cake was moist and literally melts in your mouth. We loved this.

*NEW* Bulletin Place Sauvignon Blanc, Riverina ($13/bottle) – $6.50
From Vineyard Brands: “Enjoy aromas of kiwi blossom, mango flesh and dried citrus peel, with a refreshing and crisp palate of honeydew, passionfruit and gooseberry flavors.”
*NEW* Fowles Wine Farm to Table Shiraz, Upton Hills ($17/bottle) – $6.50
From Fowles: “A plush entry to palate with soft but full mouthfeel. Texture gives support and structure hinting black currants, berries and plum, with spice on the finish.”
Yalumba ‘The Y Series’ Viognier, Angaston ($11/bottle) – $6.50
From Total Wine: “A refreshing Viognier with aromas of honeysuckle, candied ginger and pineapple. Flavors to be found on the palate include fresh pineapple and lychee.”
