Fun Celebration Dinner at Bellamys by Logan Brown

Bellamys is one of the true culinary destinations of Wellington. 

We have booked a table (or two) at this iconic restaurant for Rotary friends and family to celebrate the beginning of the new Rotary year and the new Port Nicholson team.

A short walk from the formal event, at The Wellington Club, and you will be dining in luxury for the price of a family meal at the golden arches.

This is a strictly pay as you go event, so individual accounts, but I suggest you should consider sharing a bottle or two of wine with your neighbours, to get the best out of the night.

For a glimpse of the menu check out:

https://www.bellamysbyloganbrown.co.nz/new-zealand-cuisine

Cost is $45 for two courses and $60 for 3 courses per person.  I am expecting the majority will be 2 courses, entree and main or main and dessert.  Drinks are extra.

Everyone needs to be pre-booked.  Due to the security arrangements at Bellamys there is ZERO possibility of you being able to "front up on the night".

RSVP no later than 23 June.  Places are limited.

If you have special dietary requirements, please describe in the comments box so I can advise the Chef accordingly.  I will come back to you if he is unable to meet your demands.

Join us at Parrotdog Bar in Lyall Bay for another long Friday lunch.

Pop the date in your diary now - Friday 30 July.

Some of us will be there from 11ish to secure a table as we cannot make a booking, so feel free to join us from then on.

Parrotdog bar is attached to their brewery and they have many craft beers on tap for us to enjoy. A range of wine, cider and non alcholic drinks are also available.

The food ranges from burgers, to salads, sandwiches, bites and sweets.
