There is something special about a night spent huddled around a fire with friends. Perhaps it is the hypnotic allure of the dancing flames, the sultry smell of smoke or the promise of flame-licked fare. Either way, we’re not one to turn away an opportunity to enjoy some live entertainment and good times with our pals around a glowing fire. Until August 31, you and your mates are invited to escape the winter chill by hiring a fire pit at Garden Kitchen & Bar. The pits are available on Fridays at 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm, 7:00 pm, 8:00 pm and Saturdays at 4:00 pm, 5:00 pm, 6:00 pm, 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm. For only $99 for a two-hour session, you can enjoy a personal fire pit for up to six people to sit around, a specially crafted charcuterie box, a bottle of Pepperjack Shiraz and some decadent chocolates.
Amp up the weekend vibes and treat yourself to some sizzling dishes and toasty tipples from Garden Kitchen & Bar’s winter menu. Indulge in a $65 three-course winter warmer, available from June 1 to August 31. Begin your culinary journey with cauliflower and parmesan soup and poached bay lobster salad with lightly smoked chilli oil. For the main course, savour the succulent braised lamb shoulder paired with smoked eggplant puree, pickled red onion, coriander and mint, accompanied by house-made flatbread. Finish your meal with a decadent dark chocolate fondant, paired with a luscious salted-caramel sauce, creamy caramel gelato, and chocolate crumble to warm you up from the inside. Or if you’re in the mood for a party snack, dive into a delectable prawn roll and a Whispering Angel peach cocktail, available from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the inside bar for $35.
You can also wet your whistle with a Whispering Angel winter special. From June 5 to July 31, order four or more main meals and receive a complimentary 750ml bottle of Whispering Angel rosé. Order eight or more and receive a complimentary magnum (1.5L). Available Sunday to Thursday and Saturday lunch, it’s sure to keep the good vibes flowing, even when it’s cold outside.
