Indulge us for a moment...

A little back story; we are three sisters and the owners of Jackson Square and Cargo Catering Co. Growing up, our parents opened a restaurant in our house. On Kangaroo Island. In our lounge room. A doily covered the telly and the couch flipped around to make space. We opened Friday nights only, but the parties continued well into the early hours of Saturday morning!

Mum cooked all week long to prepare, our Aunt helped, Nan did the dishes, Dad played maitre d' and the three of us tied our full length aprons right up under our chins and served the food.

It was a dining experience like no other we've ever come across. One where our guests arrived in small groups but left having made friends, and feeling like the world was a kinder, happier place. Yes, the food was exceptional, the wine local and easy to drink, but there was something more to it.

Jackson Square - Long Table, Long Night is an attempt to recreate that magic! Join us for canapés on the lawn where we can mingle and schmooze, followed by a shared table feast and finishing with dessert to fuel those late night dance moves!

Entertainment provided by the uniquely bluesy Steve Gower, and followed with a DJ spinning tunes to keep things ticking into the night.
