“Necessity is the mother of invention.” Bart Jr has grasped the wisdom of this statement as it reinvents and innovates its lockdown menu to thrive in Redfern amidst the pandemic.
In the last few weeks, this small neighbourhood bar on Pitt Street has been serving up extraordinary takeout food and creative deals that distinguish itself from other eateries.
The star of Bart Jr’s latest food offering is this creamiest rock lobster roll, filled with delicious chunks of lobster meat from the coast of Western Australia and king prawns from the Clarence River. Beautifully set on buttered and grilled hotdog buns with tarragon, chive, horseradish and lettuce, a bite of this delightful sandwich will transport you to the salty breezes and warmness of the beach even while you’re stuck at home.
The rock lobster rolls are pre-ordered and served for takeout during the weekends only. Bart Jr owner George Woodyard had the intention of offering the sandwich as a one-off but feedback from customers online convinced him to include the choice for its lockdown menu. Mr Woodyard also offers a Bart Lobster Roll Picnic Pack for five people for $250.
For vegan foodies, Bart Jr introduced the biggest and juiciest Shroom Burger in early September. It comes with portobello mushroom, roasted in our fermented chilli butter, w Swiss cheese, green goddess Mayo, white onion, on a warm milk roll.
For easy pasta meals to prepare at home, Bart Jr has created a line of heat-at-home options.
Bart Jr shares the latest limited menu and weekly deals on its Instagram page, where customers may also DM for orders. Pick up is every Thursday to Saturday between 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. at the Bart Mart, a special takeaway window.
