Small Town Provisions, a hidden gem in Milton

Small Town Provisions, Milton N.S.W.

 

‘Small Town Provisions’ is a hidden gem in Milton, NSW.

 

The Mollymook Milton Ulladulla area has some incredible eating outlets. The ‘Rick Stein’ restaurant at Bannisters, Mollymook was first to really place this local area on the tourist map for fine dining. This has been followed by exceptional restaurants, Gwylo (formerly operating as Tallwood) and Small Town (formerly operating as St Isidore) often acknowledged by ‘Good Food’ guide with a HAT to signify their quality of food and service.

I am a local and as ‘Editor of the Mollymook News’ I like to share, and bring to the attention of our visitors some of our exceptional eating venues that may go un-noticed.

‘Small Town Provisions’ is one such outlet. Newcastle tourist, guests of Mollymook Beach Waterfront love exceptional food, they had lunch at ‘Small Town Provisions’ on Friday, January 7 and spoke so eloquently, full of praise about this beautiful outlet down the side street of Milton (Wason Street) which is not on the main drag and I’m sure is un-noticed by many visitors. In fact Rod and Marla were the only guests during the time they had lunch. My wife and I went for lunch the following day, we were first seated but other guests arrived and they were full at the time of our leaving.

We found the menu small BUT nonetheless more importantly, the food was amazing. 

Our 1st course was a shared plate of ‘Salt & Paprika Squid Aioli’. Our rating, an absolute 5/5.

Our 2nd course was a shared plate of  ‘Ortiz Sardines Espelette Toast’. Again our rating, an absolute 5/5. 

Two courses shared were sufficient, however we had already ordered a 3rd course, a shared plate of ‘Fromage Du Jour’. Again 5/5.

Quality, up-market alcohol is also available to enjoy with your menu selections. Verdict: ‘Small Town Provisions’ is highly recommended.

Bird life during Spring in the rural areas of Milton NSW

 

“Birds are widely recognised as good indicators of environmental health. A farm with a rich diversity of birds will also have a relatively high diversity of trees, shrubs, mammals, reptiles, frogs and invertebrates – and is also a guide to the overall property condition and sustainability of its agricultural practices” writes Ben Humphries the Southern NSW Woodland Bird Project Officer, Birdlife Australia.

The following are a sample of the images taken in October 2020 over a three-day period (each a brief session) with permission of the owner of this property that adjoins the NSW coastal village of Milton. They are testimony to the beauty, life and health of this rural area.

Harvest Milton – Wine and Tapas

NEW LOCATION: Harvest have moved to a much better location / venue at 89 Croobyar Road, Milton. (The former St Isidore restaurant site) They provide amazing wine and tapas  style food, friendly staff with a contemporary and relaxed ambiance.  There is a large outside dining area with fabulous rural  views and a sunny aspect.

Harvest had made a huge impression in the local entertainment / dining scene at their old venue, but now they are at a bigger and more appropriate venue. They are energetic youngsters with a vision and business model that is building a very solid clientele at their Milton ‘Harvest Bar’. The above and below pic’s were taken just after the opening of their new venue.

Guests from Mollymook Beach Waterfront loved this venue for both lunch &/or dinner, visiting on numerous occasions. Comments included ‘a great vibe and ambience’ but what has struck locals and visitors most of all, was their generosity. Their servings were very generous and at a very fair price. Highly recommended!

The 2017 ‘Good Food Guide’ awards have been released with the local Mollymook Milton Ulladulla area excelling as a ‘Fine Dining’ regional NSW area. Acclaimed ‘Foodie’ judges awarded points out of a maximum of 20 with a minimum of 15 required for 1 hat

Rick Stein was awarded 15 points and acknowledged for its excellent wine list. The judges wrote “A Mediterranean beachhouse with celebrity status in a boutique resort“. They went onto mention that Rick Stein and the South Coast are famous for their seafood, so it makes absolute sense that the only restaurant from the BBC’s beloved chef is rocking one of the best examples of fish and chips in NSW.

St Isidore was also awarded 15 points. The judges wrote “Self-sufficient farming and coastal produce among the gum trees“. They went onto mention “two things to keep in mind when making a reservation at this testament to seasonal cooking: book for lunch and ask politely for a seat on the verandah. While chef Alex Delly’s food is top-notch in any situation, it’s made all the more delicious when sitting outdoors, watching cows and clouds on the horizon and listening to gum trees mutter to each other in the breeze.
