A night spent in a room full of people who love what they do.

Behind the scenes at the Good Food Guide Awards Good Food : the chefs, the producers, the front-of-house crews, the w**emakers. There was so much talent under one roof, and every person there was part of the reason NSW’s food scene is what it is.

We were proud to be among them, and grateful to celebrate alongside so many people we admire.

What a joy to be part of. Swipe through for a glimpse of the night. ✨

We’re thrilled to be awarded One Hat in the Good Food Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide for the fifth year running.

A Hat is never one person’s work. It belongs to every early morning prep, every plate that leaves the pass, every glass poured and every guest welcomed at the door.

To Simon Furley Simon Furley and his kitchen team, and to every member of the Bangalay Dining family, front of house and back: this one is yours. Thank you for the care you bring to every service.

And to everyone who has pulled up a chair with us over the years, thank you. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the table.

Christmas with your team, by the coast.

Before everyone scatters for summer, gather them around one long table. Sea air drifting in, the light softening over Shoalhaven Heads, and a menu Simon has built around the best of the South Coast right now.

Let us set the table, pour the w**e and look after every detail. All that’s left for you is to celebrate the year together.

Staff Christmas celebrations and private dining are now open for December. Book your table - link in bio.

Iain Smart is back in the Bangalay kitchen this Thursday, and he has shared his delicious new menu with us!

There’s a Mediterranean warmth running through it: basil, olives, tomato and fennel, the kind of flavours that suit long evenings and open windows. Begin with a crisp fish cake fritter with grilled chorizo and sauce gribiche, or a beef rib croquette with a fresh Thai salad.

For main, there’s a prawn, tomato and basil risotto with braised fennel and gremolata, or roast lamb rump with crunchy Kipfler potatoes, aioli and olives.

Dessert is either iced orange parfait with caramelised oranges and almond crunch, or roasted pineapple with yoghurt sorbet and caramel sauce.

If you have joined us before for a Chef Series night, you’ll know how special these evenings are. If you didn’t, this is your chance.

Thursday 22 October. Call us or book online to save your seat.

Tomorrow’s lunch has your name on it.
If your Saturday is looking open, we invite you to share it with us.

Simon’s spring menu is in full swing. It begins with the Appellation oysters, dressed in a banksia vinegar made from the banksia that grows right here at Bangalay. It’s a small taste of exactly where you’re sitting. From there, the menu follows the season, and Jack is on hand to find the right glass to go with it.

It’s the kind of lunch where you lose track of time in the best way. Bring someone you’ve been meaning to catch up with, or make it a quiet celebration of the weekend.

Lunch tables are available for tomorrow, Saturday 17 October.

Met our Fried South Coast Squid.
Fresh squid from right here on the coast, fried light and crisp, is the star of one of our favourite spring dishes.

Simon’s take on a Caesar salad keeps the spirit of the classic and gives it a coastal accent. Cool cos leaves balance the crunch of the squid, bottarga adds a gentle salty depth, and fermented chilli brings warmth that builds slowly with every bite.

It’s a dish made for sharing, though you may not want to.
Come and try it for yourself! Book your table via the link, or give us a call.

Tucked into the bush landscape at Shoalhaven Heads, just a short walk from the beach, Bangalay Dining is the kind of place that slows you down the moment you arrive.

In spring the doors fold right back, so the garden feels like part of the room. The light moves across the tables through the afternoon, and lunch easily turns into a second glass and an unhurried dessert.

Whether you’re a local who’s been meaning to come back or you’re visiting the South Coast for the first time, we’d love to set a table for you.

Book via the link, or give us a call.

Thursday night, Iain Smart is in the kitchen.

The snapper comes up from Ulladulla, fried crisp and served with nothing more than a sharp tartare and a handful of herbs. The lamb gets a slow, spiced relish and a little pastilla on the side. The pear tart arrives with strawberry ripple quietly melting into the pastry.

Three courses, a choice at every turn, and a long spring evening to share them.

Thursday 15 October. Book your table today.
