A Wild Colonial Feast: Ned Kelly's Final Dinner - MFWF 2025
Experience the last meal of Australia’s most infamous outlaw, reimagined by Scott Pickett.
Old Melbourne Gaol, 377 Russell St Melbourne
This four-course dinner delves into the flavours and dishes Ned Kelly might have chosen for his final meal, had he been given the chance. Each course reflects the rich, rugged tastes and textures he could only dream of while awaiting his fate as he sat in his cell at the Old Melbourne Gaol. The menu is a culinary journey through Victoria’s colonial history, tracing the paths of the goldfields, Glenrowan, and Milawa, culminating in Melbourne, just as Kelly’s story did. Held in the atmospheric Watch House at Old Melbourne Gaol, the evening features four courses with matched wines, and a Ned Kelly tour.

Sample Menus
When it comes to large-scale catering, you’re in very good hands. With vast experience across major and public events, we are here to create a food experience based on your requirements. Whether the event calls for an on-site kitchen or pre-prepared food to be transported to the venue, our teams have the expertise and means to deliver a world-class experience.
Our sample menu page outlines what a menu could include for a stand-up canapé style event, a formal seated event or a more relaxed sharing-style banquet. These can be adapted to suit any kind of large-scale event.
With food always at the core of what we do, we take pride in offering menus that elevate an event. We focus on seasonality and locality, sourcing fresh ingredients that can be hard to find, but make your event stand out. We are bold in our events, and bold in our flavours, combining premium local produce with signature Scott Pickett innovation and flair. Our experienced chefs are the same chefs that produce the food we’re recognised for in our restaurants.
