Antler is strongly rooted in regional food culture, emphasizing pure, fresh and seasonal ingredients. It embodies local flavour and spirit, offering contemporary dishes with an emphasis on game meat, sustainably caught wild fish, and wild foraged vegetables and fruit along with locally farmed ingredients that are always raised with passion and care. Antler has received countless accolades locally and nationally, including recognition by Michelin. Michael has appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast as well as the Meat Eater Podcast and has cooked at culinary festivals around the world including the United States, United Arab Emirates, Australia, Russia,Saudi Arabia and Brazil.
