4 Course Menu
Friday, August 25th 5pm to 9pm
Gorgonzola & Blackberry Woah Nelly Jelly Crostini
My very own Woah Nelly Jelly served on a creamy gorgonzola bed over my own toasted crostini drizzled with handmade olive oil from my best friend's home in the Catalan region. Can substitute Boursin if gorgonzola isn't your thing.
Garden Tomatoes with Boccuncini, Basil and Catalonian Olive Oil
Fresh tomatoes and basil from our garden, thick slices of boccuncini drizzled with handmade olive oil from Catalonia. A refreshing summer salad.
Slow Roasted Salmon with Meyer Lemon Gremolata
A beautiful slab of sockeye salmon slow roasted on cedar, drizzled with maple and soy topped with a fresh gremolata of sweet meyer lemon, parsley, capers, pistachios and garlic.
Summer Spumoni Splash Ice Cream
Half milk chocolate ice cream, half pistachio ice cream with hand roasted (by me) fresh pistachios, then candied, chopped and swirled throughout.

Caramelized Onion, Tomato & Goat Cheese Flatbread
Doughy, crunchy and oh so satisfying. This neapolitana style handmade flatbread will leave you wanting more from our forno in the Fall.

Oh so creamy English custard ice cream swirled with a rich handmade lemon curd, buttery shortbread crust crumbles and browned meringue pavlova chunks.

Sunday Funday!
Join Us for Pub Night Fare and Cool off at Coldwell
Sunday, August 27th 5pm to 9pm
Around here at Swell Kitchen, we love our pub night. Certainly not a "piss up" kind of thing, this is pub night fare in name only. Casual and chill, Coldwell gets the shade first so come on by and cool off with us!
This week, enjoy fall apart boneless pork dry ribs with Thai chilli dipping sauce, loaded potato skins, Gran's corn fritters with chipolte aioli, Hoisin glazed chicken wings, crispy roasted brussel sprouts with lemon truffle aioli, and a few surprises!
Come for the food, stay for the yacht rock. : )

Suggested Donations
All breads, unless specified, are made by Kate by hand at Swell Kitchen. All ingredients are top quality, often produced or grown ourselves at our home. A lot of work and love go into each bite at Swell Kitchen so we do ask for a suggested donation to cover our hard costs, our time and Kate's skill.
How to Pay Us
At the moment, payment is via etransfer to hello@swellkitchen.com but in future we will be moving to the square payment system.

While Visiting for Get-Together
GROUND RULES:
Areas of Access: Swell Kitchen Get-Togethers and Cook-Togethers take place at the front of our home. You are welcome to enjoy our dock, our dining deck and of course, our outhouses. Unless invited to, we ask that you refrain from hanging out in the seaside kitchen as space is limited and we need that to prepare great food for you and to also not walk up to our main house, to go inside or to go to the back forest to visit the chickens unless invited to.
Your Wake: We ask you to please be considerate of our neighbours and our docks and arrive at 5 knots or less.
Your Craft: We ask that you ideally bring a small craft such as a dingy or small skiff or something else that you can arrive and leave safely in that has your own fenders and lines for tie up. If you have a larger craft and are unable to accommodate your request please be in touch in advance to arrange a private Get-Together for your large vessel's group. We cannot accommodate a vessel for a private Get-Together that is over 36'.
Drinking at Swell Kitchen: In order to protect everyone's safety while arriving, attending and departing, we require the responsible consumption of alcohol. We cannot entertain friends who arrive and appear to be under the influence because honestly it's not a "drunk-fest". We offer a family friendly environment for our friends, new and old, that is inclusive, kind, compassionate, chill and fun.
Smoking: There is a strict no smoking policy at our home and property. If you wish to smoke, you could do that on your own vessel please.
Children & Pets: We are an inclusive family friendly home with pets but please know that we do not offer supervision of small children or pets. When considering to bring your dog or not, please consider if your dog is able to be safely social with other dogs before bringing them. We will of course make sure our dog patrons have nice fresh water and a forest for "business time".
Noise: We love our peace and quiet and so does our bay. We provide a calm environment for everyone to enjoy some jazz over a coffee or meal with us and our friends new and old. We turn into pumpkins pretty early so please respect our neighbours as you come, stay and go from Swell Kitchen.
