Thursday 1 June, Sydney Australia – Following over a decade of delighting guests from around the globe, Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park's iconic seafood buffet, Feast, is coming to an end. To honour its legacy, Feast will take guests on a nostalgic journey through its history with a special last-chance dining experience from June 1 to June 18.
The grand farewell will culminate with The Final Feast Brunch experience on Sunday 18 June. Feast invites guests, old and new, for an unforgettable Last Bottomless Brunch, where Sheraton Grand bids farewell in a nostalgic and entertaining manner. With a delectable buffet spread, bottomless Champagne Thiénot x Penfolds Champagne Brut Rosé NV, Chandon Sprits and Absolut Bloody Marys, as well as a lively musical journey through the decades.
First opening its doors as Botanica Brasserie in 1996, the famous seafood buffet has become an institution in the heart of Sydney, capturing the hearts of seafood enthusiasts. Synonymous with piled high plates of succulent prawns and second and third helpings, guests of Feast have been known to indulge in as many as 60 oysters per sitting.
Executive Chef Duncan Morrison said: “It's impressive the quantity of seafood that is consumed each week. We order 180 kilos of prawns and around 5kg of oysters every weekend to ensure our guests are more than satisfied and we find we have minimal, if no leftovers."
We have hundreds of guests per sitting with the hotel's kitchen staff washing anywhere from 3000 to 5000 plates. Over the years the hotel has partnered with various suppliers to provide the freshest seafood and local produce including MG Seafoods who source the freshest seafood from New South Wales waters and has been a supplier for Feast since inception.
Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park's General Manager, Krister Svensson said: “Feast has been an integral part of Sheraton Grand's history. While we are saddened Feast will be closing its doors, we are excited to welcome a new dining experience in its place, ushering in a new era of culinary excellence."
Feast's associates recall memorable moments, including the extraordinary queues of guests stretching all the way to the hotel's lobby, and the astonishing record set by a single guest who dined at Feast an incredible number of 400 times.
In honour of Feast's remarkable history, Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park invites guests to relish an old-school inspired menu in a setting that pays homage to the past. Rekindle memories of classic favourites such as Prawn Cocktails, Salmon Wellingtons, and a bubbling Cheese Fondue station. The decadent buffet will also feature a Whole Poached Dressed Salmon, a dish not to miss.
In a throw-back to the glory days, Absolut Vodka classic cocktails, including the beloved Cosmopolitan from Sex and the City and Bloody Marys will be on offer.
