Food
Award-winning fine dining, evolving in harmony with the daily harvest.

The hallmark experience of the Royal Mail Hotel, Executive Chef Robin Wickens’ critically-acclaimed tasting menu offers an unbuttoned approach to fine dining, celebrating produce grown just metres away in our organic Kitchen Garden.

Food
The Winter garden, a testament to nature’s resilience

Amidst the chill of the season, the garden’s transformation captivates the senses, as earthy scents and vibrant colors intermingle. It is here that the essence of Winter’s culinary wonders takes shape, inspiring the creative spirit and inviting our Chef’s to craft delightful dishes that warm the soul.

Wine
Perfect pairings, curated from our 4,200-bottle wine list.

Complete your Wickens dining experience with wine from the Royal Mail Cellar. Sample our unparalleled selection of Bordeaux and Burgundy, try something a little closer to home, or leave it in the deft hands of our sommelier with a Cellar or French Match.

“Our approach is a true expression of Dunkeld’s soil and seasons — flavour is cultivated on the land, and finessed in the kitchen.”

The Wickens dining room
Food

Behind discrete doors, a highly immersive experience unfolds, with the kitchen as its stage.

Witness the team’s expertly choreographed movements at the Chef’s Table, where up to four guests can be seated front-row amongst the kitchen action. 

 For special occasions and larger groups, up to 14 can be accommodated within the Private Dining Room. 

The Wickens kitchen
Set within stunning surrounds, uninterrupted views bring the outside in.

Emphasising Wickens’ inherent connection to the natural world, the dining room was thoughtfully designed with rich timbers, polished sandstone finishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing a panorama of southern Gariwerd (Grampians National Park).
