Taking to Brunswick Heads like ducks to water

The Three Blue Ducks restaurant empire keeps growing apace. 

The Three Blue Ducks team and Hotel Brunswick, on the north coast of NSW, today announced a new collaboration, unveiling The Ducks at Hotel Brunswick from next month.

The collab aims to combine the relaxed atmosphere of an Australian pub with the Ducks’ culinary ethos and style, a media release tells me. 

A menu from Three Blue Ducks chefs Darren Robertson and Andy Allen will offer their twist on pub classics "paired with cool, coastal Cali-inspired bites".

Robertson and Allen have collaborated with Hotel Brunswick’s head chef, Loki Lynch, and group general manager of food, Ben Turner, to develop a menu featuring local and sustainable ingredients from the Northern Rivers region. 

So think casual dishes like humble schnitzels and parmys, fish and chips, burgers, and pizzas, alongside vibrant, citrus-infused plates and spice-driven dishes like ceviche and tacos. 

Seafood will also play a starring role, giving a nod to Brunswick’s fishing and surf-side community. 

“We’re really excited about this one, we've put together dishes that we love to eat, in a quintessential Aussie pub (that we've been going to for years) across from the Brunswick River and the ocean.” Robertson said. 

“Think Australian bay lobster rolls (above); pickled octopus; prawn toast with nam jim; old school prawns with Marie Rose sauce; chilli chicken wings; and even fried apple pie for something sweet. 

"There's also a brand new pizza oven going in so we're going to be serving epic pizzas, flatbreads and of course there'll be a couple of cheeky salads too.”

The wine list will also undergo a refresh, featuring an expanded offering of 30 wines, 17 of which will be on offer by the glass. The list highlights Australian winemakers and regions with a nod to local cult favourite Jilly Wines. The cocktail list features three styles of margaritas alongside other classics such as a mojito, lychee martini, amaretto sour and Japanese slipper.

“We see The Bruns as one of the most iconic pubs out there and we're super pumped to bring our food to the venue.” Allen said. “Personally, I can't wait to sit back in the beer garden, listen to some live music and sample what we've done.”

Starting in seaside Bronte, Sydney, Three Blue Ducks has grown with locations in Byron Bay, Sydney, Melbourne, rural Nimbo and Bellingen. 

Located on the banks of the Brunswick River, Hotel Brunswick is a quintessential Aussie pub that has been serving locals and visitors alike for generations. It is open from 10am daily.
