From Concept to Plate: The Experts Behind Our Menus

At Heritage Portfolio, our food philosophy is simple: Food With Thought, curated by agile creative experts. That means we’re always innovating, always refining, and always looking for ways to elevate the dining experience.

Behind every beautifully crafted dish, every carefully balanced flavour, and every new dining concept sits our Menu Development Team—a collaborative group of experts from across the business who work together to bring our food vision to life.

Crafting Menus with Purpose

From our seasonal menu collections to the launch of exciting new dining concepts, our Menu Development Team ensures that every menu reflects the very best of what’s in season, aligns with guest expectations, and is seamlessly executed across our venues. But this isn’t just about great food—it’s about creating memorable experiences, where every element, from the first bite to the final sip, has been carefully considered.

A Collaborative Approach

What sets our menus apart is the breadth of expertise behind them. The team brings together talent from all corners of the business, each playing a vital role in shaping the final product:

• Chefs – Innovating new dishes while perfecting the classics.
• Procurement Specialists – Sourcing the finest local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients.
• Mixologists – Crafting drinks that pair seamlessly with our food, from signature cocktails to beautifully balanced wine lists.
• Marketing – Bringing new trends and insights, ensuring our food offering remains exciting, relevant, and in demand.
• Event Designers – Creating immersive dining experiences where presentation, atmosphere, and storytelling elevate the menu.
• Operations & Front-of-House Teams – Ensuring menus translate smoothly from concept to table, with service that matches the quality of the food.

How We Create Menus With Meaning

From our seasonal menu collections, which celebrate the finest ingredients at their peak, to the launch of exciting new dining concepts, our Menu Development Team ensures that every dish we serve is thoughtfully curated and expertly executed.

Our menus are designed to reflect the diversity of dining experiences we offer—whether it’s a beautifully plated dish at a black-tie corporate event, casual dining at a wedding where sharing plates bring family and friends together, the vibrancy of street food-style catering, or a refined yet efficient corporate networking lunch designed to encourage conversation and connection. We listen to our guests, track emerging food trends, and draw inspiration from both global flavours and local traditions to craft menus that excite and delight.

Every menu is built on three key principles:

• Seasonality – Using the freshest ingredients at their best, ensuring dishes are full of flavour and true to the time of year.
• Sustainability – Sourcing locally and responsibly wherever possible, reducing food miles and supporting producers who share our values.
• Guest Experience – Designing menus that enhance every setting, from elegant black-tie dining and interactive street food stalls to corporate networking lunches, where bowl food and canapés create a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.

With creativity at the core of everything we do, our menus continuously evolve, offering fresh, exciting, and memorable food experiences for every occasion.

Always Evolving

Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Our menus don’t just follow trends—they set them. By combining culinary artistry with guest insights and operational expertise, we ensure that our food offering is always fresh, relevant, and inspiring.

So whether you’re enjoying a meticulously plated tasting menu, a vibrant bowl food selection, or a refreshing botanical infusion from The Homemade Chapter, know that behind every bite and sip is a team dedicated to making every dining experience truly unforgettable.
