At 1000 Hills Chef School, Sunday lunch comes with a clear plan: gather around a table and share something worth talking about.
The Classroom Café platters have become a firm favourite, and it’s easy to see why.
Each board is a showcase of the skills being honed in the kitchen, from handcrafted breads to carefully prepared cured meats, house-made pickles, and flavourful preserves. It’s less about a single dish and more about variety, texture, and a bit of discovery with every bite.
- Guests can choose from four platter options, each with its own focus. The School Produce Platter leans into fresh, house-made elements, while the Cheese Platter offers a generous spread of cheeses paired with breads and condiments. The Kitchen Platter brings a mix of hearty, crowd-pleasing items, and the Vegan Platter ensures no one is left out, with thoughtful, plant-based selections that hold their own.
Visually, the platters arrive full and inviting. Thick slices of rustic bread, golden fried bites, small bowls of chutneys and pickled vegetables, and neatly arranged cheeses and meats create a table that feels abundant without being overdone. It’s the kind of spread that encourages passing plates, trying a bit of everything, and settling in for a long, easy meal.
The setting at the Classroom Café adds to the experience. There’s a sense that what’s on the table has been made with care and intention, reflecting both learning and craftsmanship. The café is open until 4pm, making it an easy choice for a relaxed Sunday outing. Booking ahead is recommended on 031 7771566.
