At The Wine Room, even the midday meal is treated as a moment worth savouring. David Nash and Ryan Moore’s newly introduced Working Lunch makes a compelling case for elevating your next business meeting — proving that productivity and pleasure can share the same table.
For $55 per person, the format is deliciously simple: a bite to begin, a main to sustain, and a perfectly matched wine to tie it all together. In the spirit of efficiency, both wine and water arrive as soon as you’re seated, ensuring conversation flows without interruption. Mains are timed to your preference, creating space for both the exchange of ideas and the enjoyment of exceptional food.
While the menu is ever-changing, this week’s offers a considered pairing of comfort and craft. Think Truffle Bao — pillowy, fragrant, and irresistibly rich — followed by Cambridge Duck Leg with pumpkin seeds, nasturtium, and buttercup squash, a dish as textural as it is vibrant. To drink, you’ll be served a glass of 2023 Prophet’s Rock Home Vineyard, its layered depth and bright lift the perfect foil to the richness of the duck.
In true The Wine Room style, the menu shifts regularly, led by seasonality and availability, meaning no two working lunches need be the same. Whether sealing a deal, strategising the next big move, or simply carving out a civilised (or indulgent) hour in the day, this is a working lunch exactly as it should be, complete with great food, great wine, and a setting sure to impress.
