Last night, as part of Rachel's birthday celebrations, we went to this themed Mad Hatters thing in Waterloo, Sydney. It was held in a warehouse space converted into a pop up restaurant.
The room was cool and eclectically decorated with old TVs, chandeliers, candles, tea cups of all sorts and bits and bobs. This was a pre booked event, so you just turned up and end up sharing two long tables with strangers. Out party consisted of six people. The organiser (the Mad Hatter) worked the room, offering friendly banter, prosecco and wacky canapes, including beetroot candyfloss and parmisan popcorn.
The three course meal (with matching wines) was as wacky, the slowly cooked beef cheek standing out as the best bit. We spent the evening drinking wine and talking no sense.
All in all it was a lot of fun. It is great to see that Sydney can offer these type of things and events. It made me think of London, of a night in 2010 spent in pop-up restaurant that reproduced a small town street. It also made me think of my last Mad Hatters party, for Laura's hen night in London. Back then I wore bunny ears, this time I was a pilot.
