Flanders Restaurant:
Sadly, the
Olde English meal is
the last available
from Flanders
Restaurant (at this
stage). Chef John is
looking at improving
and changing the
Bistro meals to
compensate for the
closure of the
restaurant. The
reason for this
closure is because
it is unviable to
operate Flanders
with the current
level of patronage.
The Executive are
working on a plan to
reopen it in the
future. We thank
diners who have
patronised the
restaurant. Please
contact the office
to book
Flanders for your
functions,
birthdays, special
occasions, seminars,
conferences etc.
John is available to
discuss and plan
your menu
requirements.
Bistro: in response to requests from members the Bistro will now open from
5pm on Fridays.
