The Story Behind the Magpie Café

The Magpie Café came about because we wanted visitors to the Tanunda Show to have a place where they could eat and drink really good Barossa food and wine. The donation of goods and time from local businesses and individuals has been terrific.

The food on the menu is all sourced from the Barossa Valley, including meats, smallgoods, cheese, bread, chutneys and mustard from an array of local producers and freshly picked vegetables and salad greens from Krondorf Gardeners. Kate Parkin has donated her time and expertise putting the platters together. Northland Packaging  have shown ongoing generosity by donating napkins, cups and pie tins.

The bread rolls and streuselkuchen (german cake) are baked in a wood fired oven at the Apex Bakery in Tanunda. The pastry and filling for the “Hutton Vale” lamb pies has been made by William and Claire Wood from Carême Pastry in Tanunda and students from Murray TAFE have put them together under the guidance of Jan Koerner. Vince Trotta is a local chef who has been with us for five years now and he does a great job in the kitchen.

All the energetic and enthusiastic kitchen, bar and wait staff are volunteers. Some of them are wine and food students from TAFE and the rest are just very good people. Lindi Meyer, who is renowned for her front of house talent, keeps everything running smoothly.

Barossa Wine Show trophy winning wines have been donated by local winemakers and we appreciate their continued and generous support. Thanks also to Andy Harmann and the Tanunda Football Club.

Monjava Coffee has been supporting us for many years with their machines and great coffee.
