Move over dagwood dogs and spiral chips. Youโll always have a special, special place in my heartburn and gut, but itโs time for something a touch classier this year. That something is Matt Moranโs Chiswick at Splendour in the Grass. And championing the signature โplanted to plateโ philosophy, it promises to be a one of a kind experience.
โThe inspiration for Chiswick really came from my time growing up on a farm,โ says Moran.
โOurโฆ philosophy is such a great fit for the Byron region. And what better place for Chiswickโs first venture outside of Sydney than amongst the action at Splendour in the Grass?โ
This ultra stylish exclusive dining experience will see the classic Chiswick menu weโve come to know and love โre-interpretedโ as to fit the, uhโฆ seasonal culture. Yeah. Showcasing seasonal dishes curated by Chiswick Head Chef, Tom Haynes, this two-hour gastronomic affair is set to span across three courses, ranging from spanner crab and avocado tacos to the famed Moran Family lamb shoulder, served with with eggplant, red pepper chutney, and flat bread. Vegetarian and vegan options will also be available. Because the, uhโฆ Byron culture.
And if that wasnโt enough for your hungry mouths, there will also be a โSplendour-coladaโ to quench all those hard earned thirsts. This delightful concoction will mix and match roasted pineapple with coconut and rum. Or perhaps the โKingโs Dead Tonicโ is more your speed. A bespoke creation with โโฆ cucumber infused Smirnoff vodka, elderflower, grapefruit, and basil oilโฆโ.
In related news of the cuter variety, Chiswick x Splendour in the Grass will actually mark Moranโs first festival experience. This has largely been attributed to the fact that Moran has worked in the kitchen since he was fifteen years of age, slaving way at โโฆ hundred hour weeksโฆโ for โโฆ many yearsโฆโ.
โThe upside to that is that I loved it and the hard work paid off, I developed a great career. The downsideโฆ less time for music festivals!โ
โIโve been to a fair few concerts in my life and Iโm great mates with a lot of musicians, so musicโs a big part of my life.โ
Moran hopes to catch Angus & Julia Stone and Lorde. Donโt we all, buddy. Donโt we all.
