Rich in flavour, full of energy
Spicers Retreats is well known for its dining experiences, and it’s no different on the Scenic Rim Trail. With a carefully crafted menu that’s designed to inspire and energise, the food is as much of a journey as the trail you walk. From nourishing breakfasts to on-the-go lunches; afternoon platters to share style dinners, every meal is a showcase of local produce crafted for hiking.
Food
Head Chef Jake Knauth has crafted the Scenic Rim Trail menu over four years, tweaking and tailoring season by season to create a dining experience that is connected, nourishing and delicious.
The extensively researched menu evolves over the entirety of the walk, with careful thought put into the developing mood, spirit and physical condition of the individual and group. Each day is different, with new ingredients and ideas unfolding on the plate.
The kitchen embraces the local produce and market gardens found dotted along the trail path, using only the very best and freshest of ingredients. A growing program of house made pickles, preserves, relishes and condiments are stocked and used throughout the walk – Preserving and learning from the traditions of the region’s strong history of country kitchen cooking.
We cater for standard dietary requirements including gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan and can cater to allergies. If you have specific dietaries, please contact our reservations team who can connect you with our chefs for a discussion. Guides manage the cooking on tour with chefs managing the preparation in advance so not all dietaries can be catered for.
