Pier One's panoramic views and harbour breezes are no longer just for the enjoyment of the luxury hotel's guests, as pop-up smokehouse The Kerrigan pulls into dock next door. The meat-focused food shack is ringing in barbecue season with a custom-made charcoal-burning grill, on-site smoker, and one ripper of an al fresco dining space from which to enjoy the spoils.
Daily, over the coming months, top-notch produce from Marrickville's Black Forest Smokehouse will be given the star treatment — it'll be smoked in-house for up to 14 hours and brought to life with an array of house-made rubs and sauces. Barbecue purists will find plenty on this menu to get excited about, from the smoked half or full rack of pork ribs, to the crispy chook wings, prepared Aussie, Indonesian, or Korean-style.
There are hefty burgers, melt-in-your-mouth brisket tacos, and a daily-changing handcrafted snag, which comes with green chilli pickle and sauerkraut. Plus, there'll be a range of local brews and those ace harbour views to round out the whole delicious deal.
The Kerrigan will be open from 11.30am until 9pm daily next door to Pier One, at 11 Hickson Road, Walsh Bay.
