Beat the blues

Just because winter is coming up doesn't mean you can't take some time out to enjoy life. Mothers Day is just around the corner and don't forget our Wine Club this month...

Mothers Day

Mothers Day

Mothers Day is coming up on Sunday - to avoid missing out please book early.

All mums who come to lunch or dinner on Sunday will get a free ice cream sundae.

 

Scooter fun

Motor Scooter Race

One of April’s highlights was a visit from a 30 strong group of motor scooter racers on the last leg of a 1000 mile race back to Auckland. It was a wonderful evening followed by a late breakfast the next morning. Then they all took off to race around the Coromandel.

Wine Club date for your diary

The last social wine club with Martin from Planet Wine was a great success and the 5 courses matched with great wine choices were well received. The next social wine club is on the 30th of May with Carrick Vineyard of Bannockburn, Central Otago.

The menu for the tasting will be up here soon - I'm sure it will tempt your taste buds.

Homebaked goodness

Baked Quark Cheesecake

Meal of the month this time is my mum’s Baked Quark cheesecake.

If you are interested in cooking or baking with Quark, please contact me at the restaurant as I have it in stock. I also have German Sauerteig Roggen Brot (Sauer dough rye) and a range of our ready cooked take out meals that we used to sell at our farmers market.

Watch out for our Tomato Oil Chilli pickle. Chef Roland just made another batch (actually it was my late wife Flora's speciality) – it’s now available at the restaurant.
