Perfect Plate 2025

Matt Moran with Jack from The Wentworth Orange

We were proud to welcome legendary chef Matt Moran and Your local club to The Wentworth Orange to experience our entry into this years Perfect Plate competition!

This year we entered Trunkey Creek Pork Roulade filled with local Charred Apples, Walnut, Apricot & Wilted Spinach with Dukkah Spiced Pumpkin, Asparagus and Smoked Apple Jus. The dish was created by Chef de Partie Jack Clifton, alongside Head Chef, Nicole Dews, both of whom are passionate about supporting local producers and showcasing the incredible ingredients available in our region.

The dish showcases what we believe is the best pork available: 100% local, hormone-free Trunkey Creek Pork. It is paired beautifully with locally sourced apples to create a balanced blend of sweet, savoury and all-round deliciousness. One of our members told us that it was the best meal he'd eaten in Orange in a very long time.

Matt loved the stuffing in the Roulade, saying "it felt like Christmas time"!

Matt Moran, the chef behind some of Australia's best-known fine dining restaurants, was touring the Central West as the ambassador for the Perfect Plate competition.

The Perfect Plate is the club industry's premier dining competition which is designed to showcase the incredible quality and diversity of food on offer at clubs across NSW, highlighting the many talented chefs that work within the industry.

While Matt was full of praise for the tenderness and textures of the dish, its the opinions of local diners that truely matter as its their scores that determine who has served up the "perfect plate". The Club with the highest average score at the end of the competition will be crowned the winner in their respective category.
