The classic English menu at Ross Godfrey's new venture will be a departure from the food at Sixpenny (pictured), in which he is a part-owner.
Oscillate Wildly's former owner Ross Godfrey is opening two new restaurants in the city and pulling the pin on his Newtown pub venue after eight well-reviewed years at the Carlisle Castle Hotel.
Next month Godfrey, who is also a part-owner in Stanmore's Sixpenny, will open a bistro on the ground floor of the Civic Hotel in the CBD, followed by a late July launch of a new restaurant in the Hotel Downing on Castlereagh Street. Godfrey is undertaking the ultimate research for the Hotel Downing venture, testing its classic English menu with a 12-week pop-up – "The Scoff and Banter" – which kicks off this week at Plunge No.46 in Summer Hill.
"We're cooking the sort of stuff English people miss. The first menu is roast beef, we'll follow that with roast pork and roast lamb. And dishes like broccoli and stilton soup and a bacon and pork terrine," Godfrey says. "I'll miss Newtown, but we're out of the Carlisle bistro from next Sunday."
