Choose from the ultimate pack or the G&T kit – both with matching tonic, Goat-styled chocolates from Hahndorfs Chocolates in Upper Ferntree Gully, and dehydrated fruit.

Well, Pinchy’s Champagne & Lobster Bar has re-opened and launched ‘Pinchy’s-At-Home’, meaning you can order mum a Lobster roll, grilled snapper, Crab Taco; or  Seafood Bastilla.
