[ NEW ] YOU CAN NOW DINE INSIDE YOUR OWN PRIVATE HOT AIR BALLOON The Hills of Rivermakers has just launched Dine on Cloud 9, a limited-time pop-up where you climb into your very own custom-built hot air balloon right by the river for two hours of shared food and free-flowing drinks. Each balloon is booked privately for up to six guests, with a tower of bites landing first and a wagyu eye fillet to follow. It opened on 7 October and is only here until January 2027, so this is one long lunch or date night you will want to lock in before summer is out. THE DINE ON CLOUD 9 MENU 🌮 The wagyu tartare taco: a beef tartare taco made with Wagyu MB6, one of six bites served one each per person. 🦞 The bites: lobster brioche, prawn vol-au-vent, bocconcini and hot honey bruschetta, French brie tartlet, and pumpkin and cheddar arancini. 🥩 The main: Australian MB5/6 Wagyu eye fillet with house-made potato gratin and Sangiovese wine jus, plus a summer salad with citrus dressing.
