Good food, good wine, and great service are the heart of memorable functions. Whether it's a Christmas do, or a wedding, or anything in between, at A'Fare, functions to remember are a given, but Mandy and Hayley, with 27 years of experience between them, are offering Christmas functions this year
at a range of venues.
A few dates are still available at A'Fare for Christmas, so make your booking now. You might like to consider other venues, such as Northland Cricket's Plus Pavilion upstairs function room where seating for 100 makes out-catering with the same fabulous food and service an excellent option. A'Fare manages all of Northland Cricket Association's in-house Christmas functions so this is a venue they're very familiar with, and it's even easier because the Cricket Association has its own Liquor Licence, and oodles of parking.
With three big race days coming up; Dargaville Race Meet on November 17 at Ruakaka, 'Christmas at the Races' on December 19, and the 'Interislander Summer Festival' race day on January 6, A'Fare takes care of all the catering, and that means everything from pies and chips to a full buffet meal for clubs and groups. Race season next year runs from May to October 2018. It's worth considering as an option for a work do or as a way to treat your staff to something special. The races always start around midday so do half the day's work, and then shoot out to the races for the afternoon. Take advantage of the free buses which run from the Kensington Tavern, the Jovial Judge, and Kamo Club.
A'Fare has good relationships with a range of Whangarei venues, including Forum North, Barge Park, and various hotel/motel function and conference rooms, which allows you to choose your spot and have A'Fare organise it all for you. They come to you wherever you are, whether it's for a small house party or a larger official function. They can make virtually any situation work so you can play host and enjoy yourself without having to worry about the nitty-gritty details usually involved in hosting a group.
Coming up to Christmas, expect their glorious Christmas menus with turkey, and beef with Yorkshire puddings. Champagne ham is always a favourite, especially when it's followed with the best ever, superb Christmas pudding just like your grandma used to make (minus the sixpences - they're too rare today). A'Fare's head chef Ayla, stays up-to-date with food trends and seasonal produce to bring marvellous taste experiences right to your mouth. She designs all the menus and is the driving force behind the kitchen's huge success.
January and February at their iconic A'Fare venue down by the riverside still have several wedding dates available but wedding season is moving in fast and it would be wise to secure a booking soon. Mandy and Hayley have your wedding covered, from the decorations and organising the flowers, right on down to the seating if you need it. But they're flexible and if you prefer to do it your way, then that can be easily arranged.
