Three Blue Ducks at The Bruns

THE iconic Hotel Brunswick is unveiling a new collaboration with the restaurant Three Blue Ducks, launching in December.

The Ducks at Hotel Brunswick combines the relaxed atmosphere of an Australian pub with the Ducks’ dining ethos and style.

The revitalised menu from chefs Darren Robertson and Andy Allen offers a modern twist on pub classics and coastal Cali-inspired bites.

Partner and chef Robertson said the team was excited about the project.

“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,” he said.

“Think Australian Bay lobster rolls, pickled octopus, prawn toast with nam jim, old school prawns with Marie Rose sauce, Travla beer-battered fish and chips, chilli chicken wings, and fried apple pie.

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

Three Blue Ducks is known for championing sustainability and ethically sourced ingredients. The collaboration with head chef Loki Lynch and Group General Manager of Food Ben Turner in developing a menu featuring local regional produce puts the Ducks magic on traditional pub dishes such as the humble schnitzel and chicken ‘parmy’, fish and chips, burgers, and pizzas.

The addition of vibrant, citrus-infused plates and punchy, spicy dishes like ceviche, tacos and seafood nod to Brunswick’s fishing and surf-side community.

Lynch said he was thrilled to be collaborating with the Ducks’ team.

“This allows us to honour the laid-back, classic pub experience our guests love while introducing fresh, tasty dishes that showcase great Australian produce and reflect the essence of the Northern Rivers,” he said.

“It’s the perfect blend of tradition and the evolution of this much-loved coastal pub. We can’t wait for locals and visitors to experience The Ducks at Hotel Brunswick.”
