Pearls and Plates at Broken Bay

On 25 and 26 October 2025, Broken Bay Pearl Farm invites you to Pearls and Plates, an unforgettable long-table dining experience on the Hawkesbury River. Journey by boat to a secret waterfront homestead, where acclaimed WA Chef Guy Jeffreys will serve a six-course feast featuring the region’s finest produce, including Sydney Rock and Akoya pearl oysters, and premium wines and beverages. Hosted by two multi-generational pearling families, you’ll enjoy local music and Indigenous performance art, storytelling, a live pearl harvest, and the chance to take home your own Australian saltwater pearl. It'll be a great event with a rare blend of cuisine, culture and connection. Tickets are strictly limited, book here directly with Broken Bay Pearl Farm to avoid missing out: https://www.pearlsandplates.com/broken-bay
