Four Seasons in one deal for Bar H partners

Hamish Ingham and Rebecca Lines from Surry Hills hottie Bar H are set to ink a massive deal with Sydney's Four Seasons hotel to operate a new restaurant and oversee room service and a bar. The deal has similarities to the one Luke Mangan struck with Hilton Sydney.

The Four Seasons, at the Circular Quay end of George Street, is undergoing a major revamp of its food venues. Its signature restaurant, Kable's, is being scrapped for a Michael McCann-designed restaurant on the ground floor, plus a new bar, with a feature glass wall that will retract into the ceiling creating an opening window on to George Street.

''We've agreed to basic terms, but we're still nutting out the detail," Ingham says. The restaurant would include a wood-fire grill and rustic-style cooking. The chef is clearly confident of getting the deal over the line, recruiting Est pan rattlerJoshua Niland as head chef of the new restaurant, set to open in October.
