SET THE SCENE
STYLE
“I always lean towards entertaining outdoors,”
McTavish says. “I like it to be a blur between
lunch and dinner – a ‘linner’ or a ‘dunch’!
The kind of late lunch where everybody is
still hanging around to watch a nice big moon
rise over the water.”
MENU
“Fish, and seafood in general, is so conducive
to summer,” McTavish says. “That was our
upbringing in Byron; it was much more
geared around fresh fish and seafood than
a Sunday roast.”
PLAYLIST
“Music is really just there for background
noise,” McTavish admits. “I like it pretty quiet
and I lean towards someone fun like The Shins.
Pretty cruisy, with no thinking involved.”
DRINKS
McTavish’s drinks choice is as Australian as his
love of prawns: a cold beer. “In summer I tend
to go for seafood – that mentality where you
try to be healthy and wash it down with plenty
of beer,“ he laughs. Summer cocktails and
Champagne were also on the menu.
