Our food philosophy is simple – we are inspired by what grows here.
Our approach is innovative and imaginative, but we stay grounded, highlighting the bounty of Tasmania’s fertile soils and cold seas through the close connections that our Culinary Curator Ben Milbourne has made with farmers, fishers, growers and makers.
Ben curates the finest Tasmanian produce – our Head Chef Julian Volkmer transforms it into art on a plate. We keep food-miles to a minimum – Julian works with local ingredients harvested at the peak of their quality, to bring you creative dishes that showcase the true essence of our island.
We love to share the stories of the people who create our produce – on our menu you’ll meet winemakers, market gardeners, oyster farmers, vegetable growers, graziers and more. Make the connection – join us in sharing our island’s harvest.

Ben’s love of cooking began as a youngster, watching and helping his grandmother in the kitchen. He followed his passion for food and science through a teaching career, then took a risk and entered Masterchef, where he was a successful competitor in series 4.
His Masterchef appearances led to new opportunities, with Ben establishing a media career in his own right, publishing cookbooks and creating the TV series ‘Ben’s Menu’ and later ‘Food Lab’, which was produced by his own production company, Cultivate Productions.
We are excited to have Ben’s culinary skills, boundless enthusiasm and deep knowledge of food to enhance everything we do at Peacock & Jones. In his role as our new Culinary Curator, he’ll use his many connections with local producers to discover and source the finest Tasmanian-made and home-grown produce for our kitchen.
Ben brings a typically-Tasmanian directness to his food philosophy. ‘It’s simple,’ he says. ‘Start with the best produce you can find and don’t stuff it up.’
