Scarf Dinners at Top Paddock

Overview

What do you get when you combine generous mentors, borrowed restaurants, trainee waitstaff and a talented chef? Well, you get Scarf Dinners. Scarf is dedicated to providing hospitality training to people who might otherwise not have the opportunity. Trained by staff from the likes of Cumulus Inc, they are in good hands. The team borrows a restaurant, and on nights they wouldn't usually open, they run dinners where the staff get to interact with customers and provide them with a unique dining experience.

For June and July, staff will get to take the reigns of Top Paddock in Richmond on Monday nights. Running the pots and pans is Ricky Holt, who ran Rathdown Street Food Store for over 20 years. Guests can expect starters of chorizo and prawn bomba with preserved lemon mayonnaise followed by mains of asparagus and leek risotto with hazelnuts and goat's cheese. Booze is taken care of by the likes of Little Creatures and The West Winds Gin.
