Tee and Laurence Gration are delighted to warmly welcome you and your party as you prepare to join us Down Under for an evening at Scrubby Creek Station. As we prepare for your visit, here are some essential guidelines to ensure an enjoyable experience:
Respectful Behavior: Scrubby Creek is NOT a restaurant; rather it is our cherished home. Please treat the people and the property with the same care and consideration you would offer in your mum’s home.
Farm Atmosphere: As a working farm, expect to encounter dogs, horses, corn/soybeans, and a bit of mud – all part of the rustic charm of dining with us. Our resident dogs are friendly and may seem to own the place, but we happily accommodate their presence. Attire should be comfortable and casual, akin to visiting friends.
Property Tour: With prior notice, we are happy to provide a walking tour of the entire station. However, be mindful of typical rural hazards like barbed wire and wildlife.
Community Dining: Depending on your group size, you may be seated with other guests. Hosts Tee and Laurence will join you for dinner and wine to ensure a convivial atmosphere.
Cuisine and Dining Style: The style is KC with an Aussie flair so a little imagination is what it is all about. BBQ is common. Our four-course meal, paired with four wines, is served family-style in the kitchen. While we offer a selection of dishes, it's not an à la carte menu. Please inform us of any allergies beforehand. If the weather is nice, you can choose to sit outside.
Entertainment: Expect a lively evening filled with games, Aussie education/trivia, Ned Kellyabilia, and good humour. We create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where nothing is taken too seriously.
Adult-Oriented Environment: Given the nature of our setting, we kindly request no guests under the age of 15. Beverages, including soft drinks and wine, will be provided, with moderation in mind.
No Takeaway: Regrettably, we cannot accommodate doggie bags; any leftovers are reserved for our four-legged friends.
Schedule: Dinner will commence at 7:00, with drinks available from 6:00. Before dinner, guests are welcome to explore Scrubby Creek, including meeting our horses, from 5:00 onwards (let us know if that is your plan, so we ensure one of us can show you around).
In summary, we aim to provide all our guests an exceptional and enjoyable experience. We look forward to hosting you and ask that you embrace the spirit of the occasion. Should you have any queries or special requests, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Warm regards,
Tee and Laurence
