Taste Fresh…

Snapper Rocks was built around an idea. Taste Fresh. Inspired by our relaxed Australia beach culture, fun, sun, great food, bbq and a quiet crisp ale or rosรฉ.

Our food is based around great local produce. Fresh sustainable local produce; less processed and less artificial ingredients โ€” resulting in big, bold natural flavours

Thereโ€™s something special about cutting into our crispy skin Humpty Doo Barramundi fillet โ€” golden on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and raised with care just down the road. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ
