Peter Pan Themed Dinner
Every journey to Neverland follows the same twinkling night path – second star to the right, and straight on ‘til morning. And so must we as we travel to Neverland in search of a feast!
All children, except one, grow up
With a dash of Tinker Bell’s pixie dust and a wonderful thought, and come away on a fantastical journey to Neverland. Join Peter Pan, the Lost boys, and Captain Hook for an enchanting Neverland feast inspired by its lush tropical landscape and exciting characters.
The Journey Begins at the Second Star to the Right (with a cocktail)
This Neverland-inspired Second Star to the Right cocktail is reminiscent of the night sky in colour. It combines the delicate tropical flavours of passion fruit, coconut and blue curaçao. This delightful concoction evokes the vibrancy and exotic nature of Neverland. Imagine the lush tropical landscapes, dreaminess and serenity of Neverland with each sip.
Next Stop, the Mermaid’s Lagoon for Scallops with Seaweed Butter
Adorned with vibrant flowers and exotic sea plants, the warm waters of the lagoon conceal colourful coral reefs where the mermaids make their home. Frolicking and basking in the sunlight by day. Singing songs to the moon by night. The elusive and beautiful Neverland mermaids are the inspiration for this elegant seafood dish. Delicate sea scallops bathed in a briny seaweed butter and nestled in their shells is the perfect mermaid’s delight.
An Ambush by Captain Hook and a serving of Salted Codfish Fritters
The Darling siblings experience many fantastical adventures in Neverland. Most of which revolve around thwarting the devious plots of one Captain JAS Hook. Tricking the pirates into believing his orders are from Hook, Peter manages to save Tiger Lily from the rising tide. When Hook discovers this deception, he is further humiliated when Peter calls him a codfish. This humiliating nickname causes Hook to lose the respect of his men. Fried until golden brown, these soft and fluffy salt cod fritters are dipped into a tangy remoulade sauce for a delicious snack. Captain Hook himself couldn’t resist these delectable codfish fritters.
The Lost Boys’ Baked Yams with Coconut Butter and Spicy Macadamia
When Wendy, John and Michael Darling arrive in Neverland they are introduced to the lost boys, a small crew of young boys that follow Peter Pan. Wendy soon takes up the role of mother, spending her days cooking for the boys. Luckily, there is plenty of foraged food to be found in Neverland. This sweet and salty recipe combines a roasted jacket yam with creamy coconut butter and a sweet and spicy macadamia nut crunch topping. Perfect as a snack or a side dish.
The Lost Boys’ ‘Mammee Apple’ Roast Pork with Apricots

Transport yourself to the whimsical world of Neverland with every tender bite of this ‘mammee apple’ roast pork.
Tinker Bell’s Passion Fruit Cream Puffs
Tinker Bell’s mischievous spirit inspires a culinary creation as delightful and vibrant as her glowing fairy dust. These Passionfruit Cream Puffs are inspired by Tinker Bell’s luminous aura and passionate personality. Enjoy this enchanting treat, and let it transport you to the wondrous realm of Neverland, where dreams take flight and adventures never end.
Wendy’s Teatime Banana Pikelets
