As the winter solstice approaches, there is an undeniable allure in embracing the longest night of the year. It’s something that many local hospitality stalwarts have recognised, with a raft of new menus and memorable events creeping onto the calendar. Few are as enticing, however, as the offering at Faraday’s Bar, a cosy-yet-chic experience that embraces the beauty of the winter season.

This Thursday, Faraday’s Bar will mark winter solstice with an enchanting evening of live jazz, mulled wine, and an exquisite one-night-only winter dessert. Hosted in the heavenly Cheshire Architects-designed space, the luxury emporium offers exactly the kind of cosy comfort we seek on wintry nights like these.

Of course, Faraday’s Bar’s usual menu will be on offer for the evening, too, with a selection of delicious bites that includes wood-fired bread and whipped Goats Cheese with honeycomb and truffle oil and a crowd-pleasing Market Fish Crudo with avocado and roast pineapple. Those seeking a heartier meal can indulge in such, courtesy of the curated menu by renowned Chef, Anthony Price (of Private Fine Dining). Our favourite dish to order this winter is the Peppered Venison Tataki, served with Tsuyu dressing, truffle frites and chives. Those ordering far enough in advance can also enjoy a selection of Price’s Tamaki Boxes and the seriously sumptuous Hibachi Grilled Scotch Fillet — a must-order from the menu.

For anyone looking to really treat themselves on the longest night of the year, Faraday’s Bar is offering a couple of solstice specials, including a warm and perfectly-spiced mulled wine and a limited-edition winter tartlet. Here, delicate layers of pear and frangipane are balanced with vanilla and cinnamon in a masterclass of pastry craftsmanship that is so good, we wouldn’t blame anyone if they were to order more than one.

The Winter Solstice Menu at Faraday’s Bar will be exclusively available this Thursday, the 22nd of June, between 5pm and 10pm. Bookings are essential for this delectable affair, to ensure yourself the best seat in the house (and access to all the mulled wine you desire).
