The Waiting Room – bar bits
August 11th, 2010. Posted by luane
The Waiting Room bar menu is coming along. 20 dishes tested, just need to do the 8 hot ones tomorrow and all done. This will be followed by costing and then just food notes for the waiters. We need to do prep lists and fridge positions for all the produce, plus design how the service will run in the small galley kitchen. The food is not meant to be a meal, it is a snack, perhaps a replacement for a meal, and perhaps just enough fuel to keep the alcohol at bay when you spend hours enjoying yourself in the bar. For what else is a waiting room for? Other than a place to spend time, enjoy and embellish life!!
The bar will be a place to eat great snacks yes,.. but it will be the quality of the drinks that define us. With fresh juices, sodas, essences and infusions the cocktails will be hand tooled and totally driven by freshness. The tap beers will be micro and delicious, the range of bottled beers will be extensive and very well thought out. The wine will be by the glass, half carafe or bottle and some great reds and whites will be available by the glass protected by a fantastic preservation dispenser. We will be able make sure all the quality wines are served at the right temperature and do not oxidise when open. What else would anyone expect from the Rockpool Group? 2 transtherm cabinets will make sure all the wines served are at their perfect drinking temperature. Oh, how I hate warm red wine in bars!
With this bar we extend all the good work we have been doing in Food and Drink at Spice Temple bar and Rockpool Bar & Grill. For us it is about purity, the best possible drinks, in comfortable surroundings with delicious food and great service….what a grown up idea!!
