Our first few weeks



Hello again.

Well we have been open now for five weeks and I have only just now had the time to sit down in front of the computer- and that is a great thing.

We were frantically busy from the moment we opened the doors. We could not have opened at a better time with thousands of people enjoying Yamba during the Xmas break. Things are calming down a bit now- with most of the tourists having headed home so we are catching up on all the little things we should have done before we opened.

We have changed the menu slightly, replacing the pork cognac and the turkey pie with a 'surf and turf' (tender chunky steak topped with garlic prawns) and a 'brekky'(steak bacon and cheese topped with a fresh egg) pie.

The Aussie pie is our most popular- we are selling hundreds of them per day. The 'lamb with mint and rosemary', the 'garlic prawn' and the 'scallop mornay' are also proving to be favourites.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us over the past few weeks- especially the Yamba locals who we are trying to look after as best we can.

Our sweet pies will start in a few weeks and we hope to have a covered seating area on the grass outside the front of the shop very soon.

I will let everyone know when we have finalised the sweet menu.
