Special Events
Chef's Table & themed dinners.
Every few months the Sitting Duck team host a bespoke Chef's Table — a multi-course feast with matched wines in our private dining room. Rare, intimate and built around whatever our chef feels inspired by.
A genuine highlight of dining on the Central Coast — these events sell out quickly, so join our list to hear about the next one.
