The Taste of Summer



Last week The Blue Bird Cafe launched the new summer dine-in lunch menu.  We now serve our most popular pizza during the day all week...the Hawaiian.  As well as a home-made baked pasta like lasagna or spinach and ricotta cannelloni.  The spinach is grown in our own garden free from chemicals.  We use our own Napoli sauce and as many local ingredients as possible.  Or there's omelette - vegetarian or ham which has been going down well in this hot weather as they are light and airy.  Our nod to the classic mixed grill is still a work in progress as we work out a way to present a grill within the limits of our kitchen facilities.  We do have a tasty chicken schnitzel which has lots of flavour and is served with sweet potato (kumara to the Kiwis) wedges, corn and a herb gravy.  And last but not least we are serving the classic fish and chips dish with a tempura battered NZ hoki fillet, beer-battered chips and a crisp salad.  It's starting to sound like a real restaurant menu at last!

But best of all is the new dessert range.  How long has it been since you last had a banana split or an ice cream sundae served at a real milk bar.  Well, wait with longing no longer because you can do just that at The Blue Bird of Lockhart.  And we are making our own toppings...raspberry, real caramel and real chocolate sauces plus the Blue Bird Special Sundae with our own fresh made blueberry topping, whipped cream, and blue heaven sprinkles.  Oh, and don't forget the cherry on top!
