GREAT INGREDIENTS MAKE GREAT FOOD

    Sher Wagyu

    The first commercial wagyu farm in Australia, Sher farm in Ballan Victoria brought Wagyu beef to Australia in the early 90’s. Now they are recognised as Victoria’s premier beef farm for excellent Wagyu Beef.

    It took us almost a year to be lucky enough to stock Sher’s Wagyu Beef.

    We love their steaks and their brisket, normally Marble Score 7 and above.

  • Red background with white text that reads "Squad Sisters" in a playful, rounded font.

    Spud Sisters

    Before working with Spud Sisters we had no idea how seasonal potatoes were. It seems like every few months we are being advised to switch, and their advice is always spot on. They are on the farm after all. All our deliveries come in a truck, spud sisters sends a ute, down twice a week and back again.

    Right now we have Maris Piper’s but expect to see Sabago’s, Gippy Golds

  • Logo for Yarra Valley Wandin Yallock Farms featuring a ladybug on a leaf.

    Wandin Yallock Tomatoes

    When we get a delivery from Wandin Yallock, their tomatoes are sent with bubble wrap. Each individually placed because its fresh, its soft, and its not stored forever.

    When you walk into Banksia we you’ll see their Heirloom tomatoes on display, all colours from a light red, to a deep burgundy, to yellows and greens. All fresh. All delicious.

    Meredith Dairy

    Goats cheese has always been on the Banksia menu.

    We tried quite a few (yes, its a tough life when we do these testings!)

    Meredith Dairy stood out as excellent on its own, as well as with our tomato, strawberry and goats cheese entree

A note about our ingredients:

As of July 2026, there was new legislation introduced that required that all seafood needs to be stated if its Australian or imported. Our is all Australian.

We of course want to go further than the baseline and we want to show off the amazing farms that we have the pleasure of working with. The reality of hospo is that supply chain logistics are not quite what I expected coming from the world of tech. As an example, our steaks are unbelievable. But its a farm. Some weeks there isn’t a slaughter, and others they don’t have any meat of the cut’s we serve. I give that explanation to say that every single night will not be the same. If you’re interested when you come in, please ask me, I’ll be more than happy to let you about today’s ingredients. I will endeavour to update this regularly, but as of July here is a list of where our key ingredients are from:

Specialist Produce:

Potatoes - Spud Sisters, Victoria

Tomatoes - Wandin Yallock, Victoria

Cheese:

Stracciatella, That’s Amore, Thomastown, Victoria

Goat’s Cheese - Meredith Dairy, Meredith, Victoria

Fish & Seafood

Tuna - NSW

Barramundi - Wyndham, Victoria

Salmon Roe - Tasmania

Oysters - These honestly rotate a lot. The last few weeks have been Sydney Rocks from Merimbula, NSW & Pacific Oysters from St Helens, Tasmania.

Meat

Lamb - Victoria

Brisket - Normally Sher Farm, Ballan, Victoria, but we did recently get a batch from Kilcoy Queensland also.

Rump & Eye Fillet - Always Sher Farm, Ballan, Victoria. We endeavour to have these 2 cuts available, however the nature of us buying directly from a farm means that supply isn’t as reliable as other restaurants who buy from a factory. In the past we have also had other cuts as replacements, including flap steak which was a delightfully tender and flavourful revelation for me.
