Our Story
About Pickle Jar
A visit to Pickle Jar is more than just a meal — it’s a feeling. It’s comfort food that’s been thoughtfully refined, served by people who enjoy what they do and want you to enjoy it too. Our menus are grounded in tradition but never stuck there, blending familiar flavours with confident twists and a healthy respect for technique.
Pickling and preservation are at the heart of our kitchen, guiding how we think about flavour, sustainability, and creativity. From what’s on your plate to what’s lining our pantry shelves, everything we do is intentional. We believe in transparency with our ingredients, consistency in every bite, and innovation that honours where it all began.
This is a place to gather, linger, laugh, and leave satisfied — whether you came in for brunch, dinner, or just one more bite you swore you didn’t need.

A Marmalade With a Past
(Our Marmalade Story)
During the First World War and the Great Depression, citrus was hard to come by, so clever cooks got creative. Carrot marmalade emerged as a bright, resourceful alternative, using humble vegetables and a bit of lemon juice to mimic traditional preserves.
Our marmalade is inspired by that ingenuity. It’s a quiet nod to thoughtful cooking and making something special from what you have. You’ll find it topping our deep-fried carrot cake, spooned onto home-made biscuits, or lending its charm to our Breakfast Martini — a little reminder that the unexpected is often the most delightful.
The Pickle Fountain
(The Pickle Fountain Experience)
Unexpected, playful, and unmistakably Pickle Jar — the pickle fountain is our signature flourish. Every Friday and Saturday, our pickle buffet invites guests to sample a rotating selection of house-made pickles served in a delightfully cheeky way.
It’s interactive, it’s surprising, and it’s meant to spark conversation. The pickle fountain is proof that food doesn’t always have to be serious to be memorable — sometimes it just needs a little fun and a whole lot of flavour.
