Popular SA cook, author and food educator Callum Hann has launched his latest food venture with The Pantry Adelaide Kitchen at Adelaide Airport.
The restaurant, which is serving Hann’s latest dishes, is part of a major terminal expansion project at the South Australian hub.
The restaurant, operated by leading travel retail business, Delaware North, is part of Adelaide Airport’s major terminal expansion project. Other recent openings include 100 Miles Kitchen & Bar, Sushi Sushi, the refurbished Coopers Alehouse, Southern Providore, Penfolds Wine Bar & Kitchen, WHSmith, Soho Café and JB Hi-Fi.
Adelaide Airport Managing Director, Brenton Cox, said it was wonderful to see the airport’s terminal retail precinct coming alive as part of the terminal expansion and as more travellers return following the challenges faced due to COVID-19.
“We’re excited to welcome Masterchef star Callum Hann to Adelaide Airport, offering fresh, health menu options for our customers,” Mr Cox said.
“Our focus in redeveloping and expanding our terminal retail precinct has been to showcase fresh South Australian food and produce, and Callum certainly fits that brief perfectly. We’re confident that Callum’s menu design in tandem with Delaware North’s expertise in providing travel-based retail will be a great combination.
“The presence of iconic South Australian brands as well as the ultimate location of the Vickers Vimy aircraft on the ground floor of the expanded terminal will deliver a real sense of place.”
Callum Hann said: “As someone who travels frequently for work, I understand the importance of having fresh, nutritious and delicious food easily available at the airport. It’s been brilliant working with the Delaware North team to design menu items that I know other travellers are going to love.”
Delaware North Managing Director, Gary Brown, said: “Delaware North is excited to be part of Adelaide Airport’s newly expanded retail and dining precinct in Terminal 1. In particular, we are thrilled to have opened The Pantry Adelaide Kitchen and now welcome Callum Hann, which will give travellers a genuine taste of South Australia’s incredible produce, food and wine.
“We are immensely proud of our 25-plus year partnership with Adelaide Airport and look forward to continued success working together.”
The new retail concourse is part of Adelaide Airport’s first major expansion works since the current terminal was opened in 2005. The terminal expansion has included a complete refurbishment of retail areas, resulting in a more than 80 per cent increase in the overall size of the terminal’s retail and dining precinct across domestic and international areas.
Adelaide Airport’s terminal expansion also includes new international customer facilities, including the new international arrivals hall featuring a second, longer baggage belt for arrivals, more space for immigration processing, expanded screening facilities and a larger duty-free precinct.
The historic Vickers Vimy aircraft has also moved to its new home within the terminal with the associated new exhibition space to be opened later this year.
