Bottle and Beast Pop Up

Overview

The latest pop up venture from chef Jared Ingersoll and self-professed "wine pimp" Jason Hoy sounds like an excellent addition to the summer culinary scene. Bottle and Beast opened in late January and will be filling the bellies of Pyrmont until March 31, serving up a different beast each night along with a selection of Rieslings from around the world.

Presenting food that is ethically sourced (think fresh, foraged, seasonal and sustainable), Ingersoll is roasting everything from chicken to goat to pig over coals and thinking up delicious sides to accompany them. Recently, he served up pork seasoned with fennel seeds, salt and lemon accompanied by onions in buttermilk jam. Jason Hoy serves as a kind of one-grape sommelier, with his aim being to "bring Riesling back to the masses".

Prices are pretty reasonable. The prix fixe lunch menu is $35 and in the evenings $55 will get you the 'Feast of the Beast' menu of starters, the daily meat, sides and dessert. Check out the menus from the past couple of weeks at the pop up's Facebook page to get an idea of what you're in for.

You can make a reservation by calling 0449 107 036.

Opening Hours: Mon & Thurs 5.30pm – 11.30pm, Fri – Sat 11.30am – 3pm & 5.30pm – 11.30pm, Sun 10am – 5pm
