About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
  • Innovative
At HotBox we use a combination of kiln dried Hickory and Oak in our 1 tonne Rotisserie Smoker. The meat is dry rubbed and cooked low and slow(ly) to create tender, succulent cuts that melt in the mouth. Be careful though, theres plenty of spice to get those taste buds fired up! Please note our BAR reservations are for our downstairs bar 46&Mercy, and not the restaurant. We have a special snack menu available for our bar.

    A bit expensive for what you get but it was nice overall. Service was great and staff were so lovely. If you have any sensory needs i would probably give this place a miss for brunch as it’s very loud

    One of the servers couldn't be bothered to work, big thank you for the others that were super nice. Bar staff is a joke, they made an Old Fashioned with coffee liqueur... Please, if you don't have the right ingredients or don't know how to make a cocktail just let the customer know. Food was good, restaurant was noisy as usual, Will visit again but will have a beer or tap water to make it simpler for bar staff.

    Great food and time as always, the Bloody Mary cocktail is amazing, and the pork belly Benedict are an absolute must try. Love this place

    The food is incredible and the new menu changes have brought some really great additions. I have taken several friends and colleagues here and they have all left extremely happy with the food.

    Our meal is possibly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The food was exceptional and the service was very good. I cannot recommend this enough. The meat platter/board is a must. You can taste the wood in the meat, particularly the beef. Outstanding!!

    Food was terrific and the service was very attentive. Would have been good to know our table was required back by a certain hour when we sat down (or at reservation time) - I really dislike being rushed when I'm trying to relax. Otherwise excellent.

    The food was incredibly hard, dry and cold. Flavour was tasty but it just was not well cooked.
