CHRISTMAS EVENTS AND VENUES<br />
Gardens Café perfect<br />
for Christmas parties<br />
The ‘revamped’ Hamilton Gardens<br />
Cafe overlooking Turtle Lake, nestled in<br />
Hamilton’s international award winning<br />
attraction, has a range of Christmas party<br />
menus this season to suit a variety of<br />
different sized “work place groups” for<br />
everything from celebration breakfasts to<br />
evening banquets.<br />
Long-time <strong>Waikato</strong> and<br />
Bay of Plenty restaurateurs<br />
Craig and Jenny<br />
Fraser who took over the Gardens<br />
Cafe 20 months ago are<br />
offering set menus for smaller<br />
work places and Government<br />
departments for breakfasts,<br />
brunches and lunches from $20<br />
per person.<br />
The Frasers noticed last<br />
year there was an ever growing<br />
wave of smaller workplaces<br />
and department units who<br />
wanted to celebrate with a<br />
Christmas gathering but wanted<br />
something that could fit into<br />
working hours and didn’t carry<br />
the expense often associated<br />
with evening functions. Their<br />
gardens venue overlooking<br />
Turtle Lake with the option<br />
of dining indoor or “al fresco”<br />
offers a quality product at an<br />
affordable price. The setting<br />
is exceptional and gives guests<br />
who want some extra activity<br />
the opportunity to the explore<br />
the award winning gardens.<br />
For evening gatherings, for<br />
groups of 30 plus, Christmas<br />
buffet menus are available<br />
from $30 a head. This includes<br />
sole use of the venue at no<br />
cost, your group can mix and<br />
mingle with drinks and nibbles<br />
lakeside before adjourning to<br />
the business class lounge for a<br />
sumptuous Christmas- themed<br />
buffet. Organise your own<br />
entertainment if you so wish<br />
or avail yourself of the café’s<br />
sound system.<br />
There are still some excellent<br />
Friday and Saturday nights<br />
available but with this pricing<br />
- don’t delay your enquiry!<br />
