Our Fine Dining night was held on Saturday 23rd, with ten of our members attending Vesta & Jiggs at Hotel Canberra, Ballarat. The meals served, as part of their degustation menu, were quite different, with the Aussie theme for the night taking on a whole new aspect. Ranging from BBQ shapes, BBQ Sausage in a Roll, Vegemite & Cheese, Chicken Parma, Prawns on the BBQ, Kangaroo Fillet, and finishing off with a Golden Gaytime.
All produce at Hotel Canberra is sourced from Victoria, keeping produce all local. Three diners also paired the meals with wines, with a generous glass of Victorian wine accompanying each dish.
Whilst there is still some room for improvement, (read Kangaroo Fillet was a bit tough, and our Coeliac diner was mistakenly given the incorrect dessert 🤢), it was still a very enjoyable evening.
