Apple Bar, Bilpin, NSW – Review & Chef Video Interview
I had a recent trip to visit some friends in Bilpin. Of course I packed the camera & shot some vision. I was lucky enough to try some local food & meet local chef Michael Jaggard who spoke to me about his career & approach to food.
Michael, is Apple Bar’s owner & head chef. He talks about their use of local produce, wood grilling & his career since being apprentice to Neil Perry many years ago.
Bilpin is a must do trip for all Sydney siders, it is only 90 minutes west of Sydney with lot’s to do & some amazing Australian history.
The menu features great local food sourced from the region. Features a stunning locally made Bilpin Mountain Apple Cider. I tried the aged beef it was amazing. Get your bum up there & try the food & accommodation.
I look forward to posting some new content soon.
Why Bilpin.
We have all done the Sydney Eastern suburbs day trip. Sand, beer & icecream. It is still stressful though navigation through backpackers, tourists, traffic & parking (not the full escape experience you were hoping for).
For a true weekend get away visit Bilpin just 90 minutes from the Sydney CBD.
Bilpin features stunning, pristine natural beauty mixed with great fresh produce & boutique craftsman build cabins to rest your weary legs. A total stress free zone. Hustle & bustle. What’s that you ask?
You can bush walk through the convict trails from the 1800s (you can still see their marks on the sandstone), swim in the sandstone filtered river, down to tasting fine local produce & mountain apple cider. There is also the opportunity to pick your own fresh apples & a trip to the Botanical Gardens is well worth the effort. All with the luxury of finishing the day up with a spa & laying your head by an open fire in the evenings.
Bilpin is a must visit, hidden tourist gem for all Sydney siders. So what are you waiting for? Get your bum up there, you will love it.
