Happening in October
❋ SUNDAYS
Sunday School Season 15:
Springtime in the English Countryside
Inspired by the gardens, fields and dining tables of England in spring. Pork scratchings with curry cream, a blowtorched scallop, wagyu rump cap with hot English mustard, an English garden salad, and arctic roll to finish. Drinks follow the same line, English wines, with Nyetimber from West Sussex leading the way. $98pp.
❋ OCT 31
Derby Day at ESSA
One grand table in black and white for the opening day of the Cup Carnival. Doors at 11 with Champagne and caviar bumps. From midday, it all lands in the middle of the table: oysters, seafood on ice, Moreton Bay bugs, wood-fired Murray cod, and chocolate crémeux to finish. A four-hour premium beverage package runs throughout. At 3, the party moves next door to The Nixon Room.
$350pp. Black and white dress code, prize for best dressed.
❋ EVERY WEDNESDAY
Test Kitchen
Wednesday nights, the chefs run the room. Five plates, their call, built around whatever came through the door from the farms that week. The menu, the music, the night, all theirs.
Five shared plates, $68pp.
