Home Alstonville
Whether you’re gathering your bridal party while getting ready, treating your guests between the ceremony to share the stars, our wedding grazing options are thoughtfully styled, beautifully abundant and made to be savoured.
Crafted with premium local and Australian produce, seasonal flair, and a touch of romance, our grazes are more than food - they’re an experience.
Platter Me Beautiful
At Pollen and Pour, we craft our mead using our own produce or by partnering with local beekeepers and farmers. Every batch is a reflection of nature’s diversity—subtle shifts in honey varieties create unique and nuanced flavours.
While traditional mead has long been a niche offering, we’re here to redefine it. Mead is just as enjoyable as beer or wine, but with even greater versatility. By blending time-honoured traditions with modern brewing techniques, we bring out the best of both worlds to create something truly special.
