Sharp’s Brewing Company and Bango Kitchen coupled up for a one-night culinary journey at the Buttermarket, Redruth on on Wednesday, February 5.
Throughout the special evening, Sharp’s conducted one of their popular Silent Bistro sessions which included interactive tutored tastings of small plate Asian street food crafted by the team at Bango accompanied by carefully matched beer and ciders. Alongside the food and drink, funk and soul beats were brought by DJ Atomic Dog.
Exclusively for the takeover, Howard Sellers and Nick Archer, the two chefs behind Bango Kitchen and The Shellfish Pig crafted a four-course small plate Asian street food inspired menu. Sharp’s provided a bespoke four-course beer and cider-matched menu for the event.
The Buttermarket opened to much applaud in November of last year, founded on the notion of creativity expressed through food. The venue has swiftly established itself as the place for the best up-and-coming culinary talents to showcase their work.
Bango Kitchen has a permanent presence in the destination, while some of Sharp’s beverages are also available at the venue.
Nick Archer of Bango Kitchen says, “We had a fantastic evening with our friends at Sharp’s providing a whole evening of flavourful immersions for our shared guests.
“Our specially-created dishes were greatly received and perfectly paired with Sharp’s beers and ciders. It is a real joy to experience people enjoying different flavour combinations that they might not usually consider and we hope to do more of these fun, collaborative events in the future.”
Sam Lyne, Beer Sommelier at Sharp’s Brewing Co says, “We were absolutely thrilled to work with Howard and Nick of Bango Kitchen to bring this dynamic and fun evening to the awesome new Buttermarket venue in Redruth.
“We are on an ongoing mission at Sharp’s to educate and inspire both chefs and diners about the amazing pairings that can be had with beer and food, bringing people new knowledge about the passion, craftsmanship and ingredients that go into every pint. Events like this offer the perfect opportunity for us to do just this in a really innovative way.”
