DRINKS Award-winning Bar Manager Rob Simpson , who honed his experience at restaurants including The Clove Club and Gymkhana , has curated an entirely British list - with the island providing the entire menu ’ s spirits , infusions and ingredients *. Cocktails include a pea vodka ; an aperitivo masterfully formed from discarded oyster shells ; and leftover tomatoes from the kitchen are used to infuse a signature negroni . The list includes : the No Fly Zone , made from barley eau de vie , London honey and gooseberry , and the Cropped Martini , which combines London dry gin with a homemade herb garden vermouth , served ice cold . Outcrop works with small distilleries striving to have a more positive impact : building soil health , eschewing pesticides , growing heritage grains , and using smarter ecological packaging .
Desiree Chantarasak of AngloThai has curated Outcrop ’ s wine list of low-intervention European wines , many served on tap by the glass or carafe . Wines have a great deal of character to stand up to the gutsy flavours of the food , many from the list come from the low-waste keg format , and the menu also features a canned pet nat .
ART AND SPACE A central installation comes from leading art collective Marshmallow Laser Feast . Sanctuary of the Unseen Forest is a large-scale , immersive video installation of a giant Ceiba Pentandra tree from the Colombian Amazon , designed to create a moment of awe , inviting guests to contemplate their place within the wider systems of nature . As guests uncover the vibrancy of life that is flowing through the tree and listen to the lowly reverberating soundtrack , the pulse of the artwork taps into the pulse of the human body . The vast artwork is projected within the communal space , offering Outcrop guests a chance for reflection throughout their visit . More information and images of the work can be found here .
