Our Philosophy
Organic and Recycled
Mavis's is dedicated to fresh and organic meals.
As well as providing the freshest, tastiest ingredients, our bio-dynamic organic garden, is also home to a worm farm and chooks (who also provide us with organic "happy" eggs for our dishes) to recycle kitchens greens and organic materials.
This helps us to reduce our environmental impact by eliminating our landfill "green waste".
Other produce and menu ingredients are sourced from local organic meat and vegetable farms, which results in less fuel used in transport, and you'll notice the taste difference too!
Daily Blackboard Menu
Inside the restaurant we ask guests to select their meal from a blackboard menu.
As we often change this daily, and almost always on a weekly basis anyway, depending on seasonal availability of ingredients, it also eliminates the need for multiple "hardcopy" menus to be rewritten.
You can check out our mouthwatering sample menu in PDF.
We make our own hand folded serviettes from recycled paper rolls (at least until we're able to source ready made serviettes made from recycled material - so if you know anyone ...) , and you can choose from recycled glass tumblers or standard wine glasses for your beverages.
We continue to evaluate other energy efficiency and sustainable options for implementation, as they become available.
Property Renewal
On a property scale, we are re mediating regrowth areas by removing "feral" plants like Lantana and Madiera Vine, and replanting with local native trees and shrubs, which already attract native birds and animals.
