Embers & Ales: The Long Night Feast

As the nights stretch out and the cold settles into the coast, we gather around the fire at Sailors Grave for a Yule-inspired long-table feast with gardener, cook and TV presenter Paul West.

Embers & Ales is a mid-winter celebration of good food, dark beer, warm company and the simple joy of sharing a table together.

Across four courses, Paul will be cooking with East Gippsland and South Coast produce, matched with Sailors Grave craft beers. Guests will receive up to four drinks across the evening, with suggested pairings for each course — choose from Sailors Grave beers, Lightfoot wines, mulled wine and non-alcoholic drinks.

The menu for the night:

• South Coast oysters, freshly shucked
  Hot seaweed brown butter, sourdough crumb & chive
• Silverbeet & three-cheese flatbread
  Gözleme-style with burnt butter, herbs & garlic yoghurt
• Dark ale-braised beef
  Winter roots, celeriac-potato mash, bay & horseradish gremolata
• Winter apple crumble
  Burnt honey cream, toasted almonds & vanilla

As part of the evening, guests will be invited to take part in a simple winter ritual: write down something you’re ready to leave behind and cast it into the fire.

Come hungry. Rug up warm. Stay awhile.
