25.01.2022 The last HARE-RAH! With Jackalope and Rare Hare set to reopen 30th October, this menu marks our final week of R.H. Home. As we close this chapter, we want to thank you for your support once again; our kitchen team have loved cooking for you these past few months. We hope you enjoy this final feast and we can't wait to welcome you back to the restaurant very soon. View this week's full menu at www.rarehare.com.au

24.01.2022 Our friends at @willowcreekvineyard matched the very best of local takeaway eats with their favourite wines. The votes are in: AMY: 2019 WCV Chardonnay matched with a @volpinopizzeria Pear & Gorgonzola pizza. ANT: 2018 RH Shiraz paired with a @thesomersgeneral classic cheeseburger (they can do no wrong).... THOMAS: 2019 WCV Pinot Noir with the chicken taco pack (no jalapeños please) from Tacos! Tacos! Tacos! In Mornington. GERALDINE: 2018 RH Rosé paired with the @merricksgeneralwinestore Cavolo Nero pumpkin cannelloni. What’s your vote? #BuyLocal
