FAT OLD FASHIONED
We've always served incredible food, but the newest evolution of The Coal Shed is now putting just as much focus on serving up incredible drinks.
Speaking with our Bar Manager Doug, he discussed his interest in forming a “close relationship between the bar and the kitchen” - bringing both advanced techniques as well as savoury ingredients into the creation of his serves.
Doug explains “having this relationship with the kitchen means that we are ensuring cohesion between the drinks and the food, minimising waste, and always pushing ourselves, and our customers, to try flavours they might not have experienced before. For me savoury cocktails have always gone hand in hand with a zero-waste approach. We're lucky enough to have a kitchen whose entire ethos is to ensure they are using the highest quality products in the dishes they create, and we wanted to emulate that in the bar. At the moment, we’re serving up our “Fat Old Fashioned” where we use the rendered fat from our steaks to wash the whiskey, giving it an amazing, smooth and creamy texture alongside a smoky and umami flavour.”
