Do you need some warming up too?


As I am writing this on Friday night it is dropping down to 10 degrees outside, and I am glad to be warm and cosy here in the café. I’m also thinking about the lunch I have enjoyed of tender Butter Chicken Curry and fragrant moreish Thai Yellow Duck Curry, both of which are on our menu and part of our Take Home gourmet range.
We’ve got a big range of winter warmers such as curries, soups, tagines and slow cooked meals like lamb shanks, to enjoy here in the Café, or to take home and re-heat. Here's a "taste" of our selection: Italian Beef Lasagne, Pumpkin, Spinach and Ricotta Lasagne, Slow Roasted Lamb Shanks with Red Wine and Mushroom Sauce, Butter Chicken Curry, Lamb Rogan Josh, Beef Madras Curry, Moroccan Chicken and Chickpeas, Thai Green Chicken Curry, Thai Red Beef Curry, Thai Yellow Curry with Roast Duck, Potato & Leek Soup, Roast Pumpkin Soup, Pea & Bacon Soup, Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Italian Beef Bolognaise Sauce, Classic Napoli Sauce, Chilli Beef Sauce and much more!
A special thanks for all the great feedback about our totally revamped gourmet grocer section with new layout and new shelves, and hundreds of new products. If you've been searching for some hard to get ingredients, make sure you pop in or call because most times we'll either have what you need or we can get it for you. We’ve been looking after a lot of budding Master Chef’s who are whipping up a storm at home in the kitchens.
By the way, speaking of MasterChef, we still have copies of our free 8 page Master Chef Food and Recipe Guide so make sure you pick up your copy and you can win in our $1500 Master Chef competition - enter soon! The show is down to the final ten and heading towards the climax so there are only a couple of weekes left to get your votes in and maybe win the great prize on offer.
And here's anothe great reason to come see us this week: Brian is feeling generous and he's handing out his End of Financial Year Reward which entitles you to a free meal. You need to make a purchase in the shop or cafe to get one, and he'll stop handing them out on Friday so be quick.
In the Café, we’ve had increasing requests for more low gluten options so we’re creating a special low gluten menu, which will be available on request from this coming Friday. And despite Australia's sad early exit, we're still excited about the World Cup, so our delicious Taste of the World Cup menu with food representing lots of the World Cup finalists countries is still available.
We’ll also be celebrating France’s Bastille Day on July 14 with a special French inspired menu.
We’ve again been nominated in two upcoming awards: the Food Channel’s national I LOVE FOOD Awards and the Central Coast Express Advocate Awards (We’ve twice won this award for Best Café). We’d love to have your vote - we’ll be emailing you details on how to vote as soon as voting opens.
And just a quick reminder that we are in the Entertainment Book for Central Coast and Hunter and that’s good news if you purchase a book from your local school or fundraiser. Using a voucher from the book gets you a free meal to the value of $30 when you buy and pay for a second meal.
Remember, it’s warm, cosy and friendly in here!
Cheers
Brian & Michele
