KEEP MANLY BEAUTIFUL: YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

If you love Manly and the Northern Beaches as much as we do, you’ll know how frustrating it is seeing stray bottles, takeaway containers and plastic bags taking up space on the shoreline.

We understand the disappointment of sinking your feet into the sand, only to feel a cigarette butt between your toes; of seeing a neatly stacked pile of fish and chip boxes left on the grass. We live on the most beautiful stretch of coast in the world – why can’t people walk a few more metres to the bin to try and keep it that way?

Well, Clean Up Australia Day is around the corner, and while we certainly encourage picking up litter whenever you see it, this will be your chance to really get stuck in and make a huge impact on Manly’s beaches.

Sunday March 5th is the day, so go ahead and register as a volunteer here. If you’re a local business like us, your time to shine is Tuesday February 28th and you can sign up here.

Keep Manly beautiful, and get involved this Clean Up Australia Day. We’ll see you there!

Summer seafood at your doorstep

When it comes to enjoying the warmer months, we all know we’re absolutely spoilt here on the Northern Beaches – we’ve got the best of everything. After taking in a day of the bright skies and great surf, tucking into some fresh seafood is the obvious next step.

Start with some of our Atlantic salmon carpaccio or Hiramasa kingfish sashimi. Next, how about a grilled whole lemon sole almondine served with crisp prosciutto & black olives?

The Pantry has your seafood craving covered this summer...

Simple Summer Entertaining at The Pantry Manly

If you’re like us, December was a whirlwind of crazy work hours, late-night festivities and Christmas preparation. January, then, is your chance to spend quality time enjoying the summer at a slower pace, alongside good food and good friends.

The Pantry is the perfect place to get comfortable and admire Manly in all its glory, while you catch up over a bottle of rosé and a dozen rock oysters with shallot & cider vinaigrette.

If you need to impress some interstate relatives but don’t want to cut into beach time, order a few tapas (chilli & garlic prawns never go astray!) and a mixed charcuterie board and let the ocean views do the rest.

Summer entertaining has never been easier than at The Pantry! Book now by calling (02) 9977 0566.

START YOUR SUMMER MORNINGS THE RIGHT WAY

It’s a new year and the weather is fine. To recover and re-energise, your social calendar may include fewer cocktail hours and more coastal walks. Or, perhaps you’re in need of a post-party pick-me-up. That’s OK – we have an energising breakfast option for any morning mood!

Keep your resolutions with a summer fruit plate and scrambled eggs on sourdough with roasted cherry tomatoes – accompanied by a flat white, of course.

For something more indulgent, try our breakfast board with San Daniele Prosciutto, Duroc Jamon Serrano, poached eggs and more, or some fluffy buttermilk pancakes with banana, candied walnuts and honey.

Rise and shine and join us for breakfast to get the most out of the Manly summer!

THE BENEFITS OF EATING IN SEASON

In-season foods that are locally grown offer a natural diversity that we should take advantage of - healthy both for our own wellbeing, and the health of our planet.

But most importantly, eating seasonally is a multisensory delight. It’s something we should all embrace with open arms and open hearts. 

At The Pantry, you’ll find chef Johnny has curated a menu that exemplifies the very essence of the paddock-to-plate philosophy, with the inclusion of fresh, local and seasonal produce where possible.

We understand that freshly picked produce has optimal flavour – often crispy, fragrant, juicy and colourful – which is what you’ll find in a number of our dishes. Our pick for the summer is the Crispy Atlantic Salmon with its light and succulent salad of beetroot, fennel, walnut & pomegranate, perfect for the warmer months. For breakfast, indulge in our beautifully decorated fruit plate, or the baked egg frittata with roasted butternut pumpkin, spinach, halloumi cheese, pine nuts, and baby potatoes with rosemary.
