Butcher and the Farmer at Tramsheds Launches New Menu

Butcher and the Farmer at Tramsheds in Glebe has launched a new menu that takes the restaurant in a different direction.

The menu concept has been transformed from ‘main & sides’ to ‘sharing’, reflecting the evolving brand concept and current trends in dining. Will Stewart and Steve Flood, aka Will & Steve, past winners of My Kitchen Rules in 2015 are responsible for curating all individual recipes across the ‘breakfast’ and ‘all day’ menus.

The focus is on seasonality using available produce direct from local providores – a direction that is in line with the ethos of the brand of celebrating and respecting ingredients and produce sourced from farmers that have a direct relationship with Butcher and the Farmer.

Chorizito, corn, pretzels

The all-day menu at Butcher and the Farmer is rather versatile and centred on ‘sharing’. It features a solid variety of ‘small’ and ‘large’ plates designed to offer a communal dining experience for guests at affordable prices.

Divided into three sections, dishes from ‘The Table’ include scotched green olives, goat’s cheese and romesco; pea and parmesan croquettes, hazelnut and truffled mayonnaise and Chorizito with corn pretzels at $9 each.
