Bird In Hand Welcome Notable Name To Their Kitchen

When you attract a name who has worked at some of the best known award winning restaurants in the state, it’s worth toasting!

Despite winter clinging on with both hands here in South Australia, we can see the promise of Spring. The promise of clear blue skies, a touch of shade from the sun just peering through the leaves, a place to sit our asses down drank!

Bird In Hand would have to be one of the most picturesque locations to enjoy this utterly wonderful experience, something we here in South Australia simply take as a normal way to spend a weekend with friends. We mean, just look at it:

There have been changes a foot at Bird In Hand in preparation for another endless summer, and they have us a little excited. Chef Carlos Astudillo, formerly of the award winning Penfolds Magill Estate Kitchen and the multi-award winning George’s On Waymouth has just come on board at their stunning Gallery Restaurant.

In amongst all of that fresh Adelaide Hills produce, the beef and lamb farms just around the corner at Woodside, the orchards and market gardens across the paddocks, Chef Astudillo looks set to create some incredible dishes. Surely, he’ll be down in the bottom of the paddock near their dam looking for mushrooms as the warmer weather starts to come. Or even better, he’ll be barefoot in the Kitchen Garden at Bird In Hand tending to little Cherry Tomatoes as they ripen. Man, we’d like to see a picture of that…

With the October long weekend on our doorstep, and plenty of family (shudder) soon to arrive for the festive season this is absolutely the place to head to. Even better, get a bus, lock in a designated driver (rig the short straw so it goes to the biggest drinker there is in your crew) and make a full day of it. Wineries deserve a full day, always.

Bird In Hand is located at the corner of Bird in Hand Rd & Pfeiffer Rd, Woodside. For more information, visit their website or to keep on top of all their news follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
