Brett Hilton-Jones has already started making improvements to Soltree Bistro’s menu.

On Saturday, November 15, Brett coordinated a delicious menu for Tuross Head Fishing Club’s Presentation Dinner.

The entrees included a Thai Beef Salad with Chilli & Lime Sauce or Salt & Pepper Squid with Aioli Sauce. Main courses were a choice of Lamb Backstrap or Country Chicken followed by dessert of either Chocolate Berry Mousse or Passionfruit Marscarpone Crepes.

Janine Campbell of Tuross Head Fishing Club commented on Sunday: “A big thank you to the Tuross Head Country Club for the meals provided at our Fishing Club Presentation night last night.

The new chef in place for just 24 hours and did an awesome job. Three course meal for 112 people, food was outstanding and the service superb. Thank you again.”
