Late Summer Garden Parties
Sip on a cocktail made with fruit from the neighbourhood or build your perfect drink using kitchen garden garnishes.
Overview
Catch the last of summer's warmth with a pair of garden parties at Chiswick. Held Sunday, February 23 and Sunday, March 2, these floral get-togethers bring together fresh ingredients from the restaurant's kitchen garden to assemble a special snack menu. Conceived for easy-breezy fun, all you have to do is turn up from 4pm.
While there's no shortage of new flavours to encounter, some much-loved Chiswick dishes like its barra-masalata and slow-cooked lamb will be reimagined in snack and sandwich form. Meanwhile, other bite-sized delights include white anchovy with toasted focaccia and tomato butter, Sydney rock oysters with apple mignonette, and sweet potato scallop with green goddess mayo.
Of course, the sunny vibes wouldn't be complete without some fruity and fragrant spritzes. A series of four Hendrick's Gin creations will keep you refreshed throughout the day. While each sounds delicious, give the Lilly Pilly Collins a taste for a local treat. Featuring Lilly Pilly Hendrick's Gin and old-fashioned lemonade, this special-edition tipple was made using fruit growing just around the corner at Woollahra Public School.
Alongside a line-up of local musical talent, Chiswick will also roll out a garnish-your-own station. Decorated with aromatics picked fresh from the kitchen garden by resident green thumb Pete Hatfield, you can add a little more mint, basil or cucamelons to your drink to achieve the perfect blend.
