Drive down Sale street and park in what we call the Woolies car park. It’s located next to Harris Farm and a short stroll from Racine Bakery and next door to a wine shop. Weekend shopping done!

This is a family owned business and they cure all their produce on site. They rear their meat and not only sell fresh pork but also lamb. Delicious double smoked hams, bacon, pancetta, salamis, english gammon, nitrite-free bacon, bacon sausages, speck and kessler. We adore their cheeky chorizo but if you don’t like your chorizo spicy they have a mild version too. You have to try the chorizo, it’s sooooo good!

Cook Park is 4.5 hectares of parkland.
