OUR BREWERY

Welcome to the little 25m2 brewhouse with the pink floor! Our nanobrewery is a centrepiece, visible from almost everywhere on the ground floor. You can see, hear and smell whatever is brewing.

 

It’s not surprising that our brewer, Carla Naismith, is deeply passionate about her craft and driven by the company’s ethos of creating 100% natural, highly sessionable brews that are balanced and long on the palette.


A lifelong craft beer nerd, Carla’s interest in brewing took a fully professional turn in early 2017 when she joined Sweet Amber Brewing. In 2018 she began a dialogue with Sparkke that led to her appointment as the company’s assistant brewer in 2019 with a focus on the small batches brewed in the pub’s nano-brewery. In March 2020 Carla became Sparkke’s Brewer.

 

Working with Sparkke’s Co-founder, Rose Kentish, Carla delivers two new and exciting specialty brews per month for your enjoyment.

 

On most days, you’ll find Carla at work in her ‘happy place’ the pink brewing floor here at the pub.

OUR ROOFTOP FIRE-GRILL

We're proud of the kitchen team here at Sparkke at the Whitmore. Our team's rich and diverse history reflects our values of inclusivity, passion for excellence and individuality.

 

This summer we’re delighted to welcome Alana Brabin back to our rooftop fire-grill. She’s the Queen of heat and provides plenty of cooking theatre while bringing you an amazing selection of vibrant street foods from around the world.  

 

Upstairs too we pride ourselves on sourcing fresh, local produce, supporting independent farmers, and working passionately towards a minimal-waste, socially conscious kitchen across the venue.

 

You’ll see this ethos at work. All of our wood is sustainably sourced and the menu has been developed to maximise every delicious morsel of our brilliant, local produce. It all works in harmony to deliver another memorable experience with friends and family at The Whitmore.

Dine at fare

Sparkke at the Whitmore’s award-winning restaurant was officially christened as fare on the venue’s first birthday. And appropriately for a female led kitchen, this was also International Womens Day 2020.

 

In its most true sense, fare' simply means food. Giving a generous nod to the peaceful practice of old: breaking bread together, fare’s dishes offer versatility and its share-plate leanings aim to build a sense of community among the people who feast here.


We look at food holistically, our ethos aims to showcase local producers who we work with, while minimising our carbon footprint. We’re able to close the loop to refine systems to minimise waste. Simply, nothing gets thrown out, everything gets used.

 

We welcome you with open arms to enjoy a meal, a lunch, or just a drink in our space, cozied up by the roaring fireplace all while allowing our staff to take care of you.

⁠⁠

Fare will be exclusively taking bookings for Friday & Saturdays only to a Feed Me Menu only, where our talented kitchen team will take you on a unique journey showcasing South Australia's very special small producers.

OUR GROWLER PROGRAM

Our growlers (1.9 Litre bottles) are up and running! We’re filling Growlers fresh with our delicious specialty brews so that you can take them home in this great, reusable, refillable alternative. It’s as simple as coming into our bottleshop, paying a $10 deposit for your takeaway growler and filling up to take home. Then bring it back when you are ready to refill.

 

Handy Tips:

  • It's really important this product stays cold, it’s all-natural and full of all the good stuff, let's treat it nicely.

  • It's a fermented and carbonated product! Please ensure it's kept upright at all times, so don't let it roll around in your car.

  • The growler is freshly filled! For the best taste, we recommend drinking it within 3 weeks of filling and to get the best carbonation levels, drink it all within 24 hours of opening!

  • Return your growler bottle and get your $10 deposit back! Better yet, come in and refill your growler with a new brew from our micro-brewery.
