She said the team had a brilliant ability to match their food to the Austin’s Wines range.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve created the menus with them in order for the food to pair really beautifully with all of our wines, which is why it’s always such a pleasure dealing with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey take our wines into consideration when preparing the meals, they’ve always got that at the back of their minds.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur curated off-dry Riesling is perfect with all of the food. The Chardonnay pairs really well with the ebi toast, it’s very buttery, and there’ll always be something to match with the Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a Hainanese chicken dish at the moment that’s really popular. All the sauces are on the side so a great option for the kids on weekends.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Nama boys said they always come back to the word hospitality and what that means.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we are having fun, customers will be too. It’s not just about trying to deliver tasty and honest food but also running a smooth service so that the customers feel welcome and taken care of,\u201d Marret and Hyams said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSolid preparation means we can put out the food we love and deliver the service that we want.\u201d<\/p>\n
From now until the end of summer, the pop-up restaurant will be open for dinners each weekend from Fridays to Sundays.<\/p>\n
Austin’s Wines and Nama will also be hosting private events on days they are not open to the public, with the Austin’s Cellar Door available for private bookings and Christmas parties for 50 to 150 guests, with wine and food packages available and customisable to suit budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
