AccorHotels Cocktail Championship Winner for 2018

Following on from the success of last year, The Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour once again held the AccorHotels Cocktail Championship in the iconic Hacienda Sydney Bar.

Raising money for the AccorHotels Community Fund, twelve talented bartenders from the hotels across the NSW/ACT region competed for the prestigious title, a range of exciting prizes and the chance to have their unique creation featured in the next Hacienda bar menu.

Whilst the three judges were very impressed with the skills, creativity and passion of all the competing bartenders, Mitchell Corbett from Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour took out first prize with his Dark Side of the moon cocktail – an after dinner drink that is garnished with your choice of stilton blue or cheddar cheese. Special mention also goes to Raymond Vea from Mercure Sydney who was the first runner up.

With over 100+ guests in attendance, the night was a huge success with $5,200 raised for the AccorHotels Community Fund.

A very big thank you to all guests, the bartenders who participated and the team at Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour who helped to put on a fantastic event. It was wonderful to see how many skilled mixologists we have within Accor and we are proud to be able to help showcase their talents.

For those wanting to try Mitchell Corbett’s delicious concoction, pop into Hacienda Sydney the next time you’re in Circular Quay – it’s truly unique!

Congratulations to Mitchell Corbett, The Ternary’s own mixologist who recently competed in, and won the annual AccorHotels Cocktail competition at Hacienda Bar in Circular Quay.

Dark Side of The Moon

Food for thought: What's Hot in Event Catering

Anthony Flowers, the Director of Culinary at The Ternary, Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour, shared his insight into the biggest catering trends hitting the market.

1. What are the big trends you are seeing in event menus at the moment?

The current trend within event menus seems to focus on share-style dining, encouraging guests to indulge in an array of beautiful share style plates and platters, with a particular focus on homely dishes such as slow braised lamb shoulder and a selection of accompaniments.

2. What trends are on the way out?

The desire to use imported produce is definitely on the way out. We utilise as much local produce as possible because, after all, fresh is best. In addition to supporting local businesses, when produce is locally sourced, quality is assured.

3. What is the perfect autumn menu in your opinion?

In preparation of the colder months and the desire for wholesome, comfort foods, additional baked items and the utilisation of slightly heavier cooking methods is essential.

4. Where are your favourite places to eat in Sydney?

One of my all-time favourite restaurants has to be Kadmus on Lyons Road, Drummoyne. The family run restaurant offers fantastic food paired with excellent service.

5. What is the one thing you wish all event clients knew about organising menus?

The difficulty in ensuring your menus are both aesthetically pleasing and tasty, utilising seasonal produce where possible and ensuring awareness of all allergenic food items that may be served.

6. What are the ingredients to include to keep your menu on-trend?

Nothing beats a great quality steak, with an even better story behind it, offering a topic of conversation both guests and staff can enjoy.

7. What are your signature dishes?

We like to vary signature dishes, while utilising the same protein. We change the base entirely but in my opinion, you can’t beat a beautiful piece of king fish sashimi or lightly cooked with beautiful accompaniments to compliment the delicate balance of flavours.

8. Who is the most famous person you have ever cooked for and what did you make?

That’s a difficult one. I’ve been fortunate enough to cook for a number of influential people so over time, cooking styles and signature dishes have varied.

In perfect time for summer, The Ternary introduces an all new Pimm’s Pop-Up Bar on the spacious terrace at the forefront of Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour. Popping up from November 2017 through until March 2018.

The creative cocktail menu offers 8 delicious cocktails including the traditional Ternary Pimm’s Jug (29) or tasty twists on the classics such as the Britain Meets Barbados – mount gay rum, Pimm’s, pineapple juice, apple juice, lemon juice and falernum syrup (15) or the Viola Spritz – Pimm’s, lavender syrup, lime, prosseco and soda (15). In addition, as a twist to the classic British G&T the Four Pillars Shiraz Gin and Cascade Tonic (9) will also be available together with a carefully curated wine and boutique beer list.

Visiting with a group? Share a delicious platter and choose from a variety of options including; pork belly sliders with spiced apple compote (55), pizzetta of prosciutto and mozzarella with wild rocket (55) or Ternary mini cheeseburgers with spicy tomato relish (55). Alternatively choose from an assortment of nibbles including salt and pepper calamari with soy and chilli (18.50), Pimm’s shaved pastrami on rye with honey mustard dressing (20) or indulge a little with a 500g bucket of cooked prawns with cocktail sauce and toasted sourdough (50).

While the garden bartenders create your delicious concoctions, why not partake in a game of Croquet on the ‘lawn’. Soak up some Sydney summer sunshine on The Ternary Terrace and enjoy all the Pimm’s Pop-up has to offer! Perfect for an end of week beverage with colleagues, a romantic afternoon for two or simply a catch up with friends over some delicious drinks and nibbles.
