A big shout out to all our amazing staff for another big night last night at Toitoi. We served 288 guests at the Fruit Growers dinner. A choice of chicken or beef, my favourite was the beef, which was served with Polenta, jus, beetroot relish, pea salsa and a lovely garnish of sprouts. Sorry no pics this evening, too busy.

Export Awards this evening at Toitoi went off without the hitch this year. On the menu this evening was a Beef entree, lamb or chicken for your main and petite fore’s for dessert.
