Here’s how it’s going down. Chef Ben Devlin is coming up this way for essential services on Thursday May 7 – so, he’s decided to bring a piece of Pipit up to the Gold Coast while he’s here. The two restaurants have banded together to create a combined menu that will feed two people for two nights – you’ll get a hot meal from The North Room for Thursday, and a refrigerated heat-and-serve meal from Pipit for the following night. All you need to do is pre-order online here before Tuesday May 5, then pick it up from The North Room on Thursday May 7 between 5:00–7:00 pm.

The special Pipit x The North Room pack (two sets of meals for two people) is $124. The ready-to-eat spread from The North Room starts with pretzel bread with housemade cultured butter, followed by whipped mullet roe, soured cucumbers and potato, then its famed bone-marrow crumpet with spanner crab, cultured cream and salted yolk. Next is duck leg with kohlrabi, preserved citrus and bush tomato, and a sprout, macadamia and yeast salad for the side. The heat-and-serve Pipit meal pack, which reflects the restaurant’s current Vietnamese lean, includes a pho noodle soup (duck or mushroom), a spanner-crab or pumpkin rice porridge, plus a surprise condiment jar for your pantry – think smoked macadamia butter, passionfruit curd, sugo sauce or pickles. There will also be a collection of wines available to purchase when you pick up your meals from The North Room.
