Dinner review – 1841 Bar and Restaurant

Dinner review

A great turnout made for a great evening. The staff and service at 1841 was as good as we’ve come to expect anywhere in town.

Members and guests were welcomed with a glass or two of Paul Bur sparkling then treated to Johnsonville’s finest array of fresh wholesome entrees and mains. Interesting was that most tables ordered everything on the menu. The vegetarian rice rolls served with an Asian dipping sauce was as fresh as you could get. Those ordering the chowder left nothing, even the crispy tortilla basket in which it was served was gone.

you may have been forgiven expecting mains to be smaller for a large group. The truth is the mains were fantastic – beautifully presented, great flavours (I shared my wife’s pork), leaving us needing a break before dessert.

The desserts and cheese board topped off a great evening.

Congratulations to the staff and chef at 1841 for a great meal.

Cheers Steve

Discounts, dinner, payments & pourers

Great discounts on premium wines

Good grief, less than two months to Christmas, but a couple of great events to round off our 2015 calendar. The Festive wines tasting looks impressive and as mentioned above look for some great discounts on some premium wines. As an example, they will be offering a $45 discount on the Dumangin Vintage 2003.

1841 Bar & Restaurant

1841The December dinner at 1841 Bar & Restaurant should also be fun. It’s great that we can do BYO in a pub environment. We will be away from the general patrons and the menu looks just fine, so don’t be put off, we are going to enjoy ourselves, as we usually do.

Nov bubbles and Dec dinner

We’re getting ready for a busy season with Nov bubbles and Dec dinner.

To show your support, please complete the payment advice form and either pay online or bring the form and payment with you when you come to the November tasting.

This allows us to get a guide on numbers for the dinner. As mentioned on the form, please complete and bring it with you in November. If you can’t attend please send to Wayne as outlined.

20141112_204626Make it easier for pourers

NB, Last month it was suggested that it might be helpful at tastings if people could send their glasses to the centre end of the table to make it easier for pourers. We had some success with this last month and will persist. Please make every effort to make things easier for the pourers.

Cheers

1841 Bar & Restaurant: Thank you

Champagne Glasses

The club would also like to thank our local 1841 Bar & Restaurant who helped out with washing all our champagne glasses before and after last month’s tasting. It saved us a lot of time and effort. We encourage you to support them if you are in neighbourhood or go to their website  if you want to find out about food or functions.

The club has 10 doz of these glasses and is considering hiring them out to members.

Full details including hire costs, breakage and cleaning rules will be provided in the new year.
