A Post-Apocalyptic Dinner

Running every Saturday until February 20, The Richmond Yard offers a dining experience like no other. The free pop-up food and beverage event features five trailers serving food for two hours, and all with a post-apocalyptic twist.
The idea is run by The Seven, a collective of event entrepreneurs, bar personalities and cultural creative, and is the first of a series of immersive activations to be launched in the city.

Characters such as Robyn the Mutant Junk Man, Red Dog the Urban Resistor/Hacker and Harry & Jen the young lovers are just some examples of the wild renegades that have taken refuge in these ramshackle trailers and will help your dining experience along.
Cocktails served in oversized billy cans with the aptly named ‘Scorched Earth’ (Blue Duck Vodka, Pink Grapefruit, Artisan Rosella Soda and Market Foraged Herbs) and ‘Revelation Cocktail’ (Black Robin Gin with Billy Tea and a Bay Leaf & Bitter Lemon Soda)have become firm favourites with visitors. Several wines, beers and ciders will also be available.
Easey’s (much loved for their burgers) have set-up camp where they will remain for the rest of the season serving four varieties of their classic burgers. Burn City Smokers will also have two burgers exclusive to The Richmond Yard: ‘The Aporkalypse Bun’ and ‘The Mad Max Burger’. Uncle Jungs and Chill Bro will also be set up at The Richmond Yard.
