On Saturday 20th July, North Byron Hotel will host an open-fire event ‘Whisky and Smoke’, where chef of the moment Pip Sumbak (@pipsplate), and North Byron Hotel’s own, Jedd Rifai, will be cooking a bespoke, cheese-focused menu over fire, made up of the finest, artisanal blocks supplied by Sam Studd, one half of expert selectors, Studd Siblings
To kickstart the interactive dining experience, Eddie Brook, from Cape Byron Distillery will be on hand to serve an inclusive small-batch Hot Butter Whisky cocktail, whilst the chefs add the final magic touches to the spread.
All three collaborators are known for utilising unmatched produce from top quality suppliers, to showcase the knock-your-socks-off ingredients Byron prides itself on from land to sea.
For just $80 tickets include Hot Buttered Whisky Cocktail on arrival, an array of oozing cheesy snacks by esteemed chefs and selectors, and the opportunity to add Cape Byron Distillery whisky flights and purchase drinks from the bar.
As the hotel edges into being the shire’s leading vinyl venue, a selection of DJs will be spinning records throughout the afternoon in the subtropical garden, making this an unmissable event for locals and holidaymakers alike.
