Chiswick will be launching an exclusive dining experience this August, in collaboration with Australian homewares and dinnerware brand, In The Roundhouse. The two have collaborated on a limited-edition range of Mediterranean-inspired Chiswick X In The Roundhouse dinnerware.
The unique dining experience will see head chef Daniel Cooper curate an expanded version of Chiswick’s celebrated collective menu, inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean: the ‘In The Roundhouse Experience’ ($105pp). Presented on the limited-edition Chiswick X In The Roundhouse jug and platter alongside existing product lines, guests will be immersed in a dining experience that evokes the sparkling coastlines and flavours.
Consistent with Chiswick’s planted to plated ethos, the menu will utilise local and seasonal produce, with many ingredients grown in Chiswick’s own kitchen garden. Menu highlights include: scallop with herb butter and charred corn; rigatoni with roasted tomato and salted ricotta pangrattato; and an “Amalfi Lemon” dessert with white chocolate, meringue, shortbread and lemon granita.
Enhancing the experience, there will also be limited edition cocktail jugs available, crafted by Chiswick’s sommelier Georgie Davidson-Brown using Bombay Pressé. The Floradita (Bombay Pressé Citron, limoncello, prosecco, raspberry, ginger, lemon) and Orchard Punch (Bombay Sapphire, Lillet Blanc, sauvignon blanc, peach, shiso, vanilla, lemon) cocktail jugs can be ordered for $59 each, and will be served in the Chiswick X In The Roundhouse bespoke jug.
Chiswick head chef, Dan Cooper, said: “It’s been a welcome challenge to take our beautiful winter produce and create a menu imbued with the feeling and flavours of a Mediterranean summer. As we head into our final month of winter and have spring in our sights, this is exactly the type of food I want to be eating – homely, comforting food, but with light and bright flavours, evoking warmer days. Top it off with a cocktail jug and visually stunning tableware from our collection with In The Roundhouse and you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re in Europe.”
The Chiswick X In The Roundhouse dinnerware collection will include a jug and platter crafted in new bone china, inspired by Mediterranean citrus, in a fresh colour palette of white, yellow and green. Guests who choose to dine with Chiswick during August will be able to take the experience home with them, through adding pieces from the collection to their booking to purchase.
“I’ve always loved the Chiswick dining room, so this collaboration came very naturally for us,” says co-founder of In The Roundhouse, Alyce Tran. “In the depths of winter, we’ve taken inspiration from Chiswick’s own vibrant kitchen garden, and the feeling of a lavish Euro summer to create a classic citrus print for a jug and platter – two centrepiece tableware pieces. The pop of colour brings so much joy and creates such a unique focal point for entertaining.”
The exclusive dining experience will be available to book via chiswickwoollahra.com.au/roundhouse-experience throughout August. Bookings are available for tables of four and above and include the limited edition collective menu (jugs of cocktails available to add on). The Chiswick X In The Roundhouse dinnerware collection will launch on 1 August with the jug available for $79 and the platter available for $39. The limited-edition collection will be available to purchase and add on when booking, while stocks last.
