Bob's Bistro hosts Mini Vinnies' 1st Birthday Party!

Friday 27 April 2012

It was a great honour for the Garden team's Bob's Bistro, to have been asked to host this very special celebration of a milestone of the Mini Vinnies program run by Mrs Carmen Pollifrone and her team of dedicated children and parents from our Parish school. Mini Vinnies supports the St Vincent de Paul Society's Night Patrol.

Incredibly, the Bob's Bistro team fed over 300 adults and children at this event in the Parish Hall.  Everyone enjoyed a plate of pasta with salad and bread, followed by beautiful cakes and slices.  Chestnuts were roasted over open fires and marshmallows were toasted!

Again our Parish home cooks generously gave their time to cook the 15 big pots of pasta sauce and an amazing selection of sweets.  

We really have an amazing community here at All Hallows!

Bob's Bistro - Spring 2011

Spit-Roasted Spring Lamb

Posting of photos of this beautiful Spring evening in the Garden on Saturday, 19 November last year, is long overdue.  Particularly, when we have since held another extremely successful Bob's Bistro since - photos from that night will be posted shortly too.  Thank-you to Tony Penteado for his beautiful photography that captured such beautiful memories from both nights.

Spring Lamb from the Moran Family Farm was spit-roasted and served with a spectacular array of salads prepared by many Parish home cooks.  

Everybody ate at two long communal tables that spread across the entire Parish lawn.

It was great to have Brian (one of our Parishioners) on hand,  who we found out is a retired Butcher.  If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had the lamb so beautifully carved!
