Restaurateur and chef Scott Pickett, the culinary master behind Longrain, Matilda, Estelle, Chancery Lane, Le Shoppe, Pastore and Pickett’s Deli, will take Melburnians on a once-in-a-lifetime gastronomic adventure at STH BNK By Beulah’s Hanover House.

A glorious collision of dining, futuristic design and theatrical performance, Higher Order is not your usual dinner party; diners will be treated to an evocative and multi-sensory dining experience that merges scent, sound and taste into an unmissable culinary hallucination. 

Rethinking the intersection between dining and art, the interactive dining experience will see Scott Pickett collaborate with some of the most forward-thinking artists, performances and designers to enrapture the senses and explore the future of dining beyond the plate, by way of BETA By STH BNK’s experimental event series.

Scott has expressed his excitement at being involved in a project like this, saying the prospect of looking at what will be in store in the future in the landscape of dining is something really special.

“It’s about how we can look to our producers and suppliers to change their ways and means to ensure sustainability, that is still affordable to the discerning diner, whilst creating interesting and evocative food. My travels in the past always awakened me to things that others in the world are doing and projects like this keep the mind ticking over to new and exciting things,” says Scott.

Each 90-minute experience will offer a hazy premonition of future dining unlike anything Melbourne has ever seen, taking a deep dive into the multi-sensory and a creative approach to culture via digital interaction, illusionary lighting, theatrical ceremony and much more.

The experience is located on Level 5 of Hanover House in The Attic. Running from November 10 to December 19, guests will have the option of two sessions per evening, with ticket prices starting from $148. 

The immersive dining experience is part of Beulah’s BETA By STH BNK, an experiential event series, bringing together international brands, revered artists and makers over a six month period. Merging physical and digital, art and technology, design and data, BETA will explore and experiment with the future of living, food, fashion and wellness while celebrating individuality, diversity and creative expression. 

Higher Order will offer 2 x 90 minute sessions per evening at 6pm and 8:30pm. Tickets are priced from $148 with sessions running from Wednesday through to Sunday. To purchase tickets or to find out more, please visit Higher Order on BETA By STH BNK.
