Mark boasts a wealth of experience and has also established a range of his own unique products which includes his lemon infused oil and lime balsamic dressing. His produce is currently sold at Balmain Bug and surrounding stores.

Mark invites you to the Balmain Bug to sample and enjoy his cuisine. He can tailor your dining experience to suit your special occasion with a unique menu, crafted for you using fresh, locally sourced products.
