From Dani’s family table in Hidalgo, Mexico to ours in The Upperhouse.

Some of Dani’s strongest memories of growing up in Hidalgo are around the family table. There was always plenty of food, her grandmother had a way of seasoning everything just right and family and friends knew they were welcome to pull up a chair.

It was here, cooking alongside her grandmother and parents, that Dani learnt the recipes and flavours she still carries with her today.

Now a chef herself, Dani is bringing them to our next Sunday Table.

Sunday 20 September | Sittings from 11:30am
The Upperhouse, Royal Hotel Queanbeyan
Adults $70 | Children 12 years & under $20

From Hidalgo to our Sunday Table

For this lunch, Dani will lead Executive Chef Wayne Alger through the dishes she grew up with, sharing the techniques, flavours and family knowledge passed down to her.

Together, they’ll prepare a Mexican menu inspired by Hidalgo and the food Dani remembers from home. Expect smoky flavours, colourful dishes and a chance to experience a different side of Mexican food, through recipes chosen by Dani because they mean something to her and her family.

Lunch will be served to your table to share, family-style. Pass the plates around, help yourself to a little of everything and go back for the dish you loved.

Come and take a seat at our Sunday Table.

Your excuse to catch up.

You know the catch-up you’ve been talking about for weeks? This is your excuse to finally make it happen. Because getting everyone together shouldn’t mean someone has to host.

Spritz Social is a Saturday afternoon made for catching up with your favourite people, with everything taken care of so everyone gets to sit back and be part of it.

Saturday 10 October | From 1pm
The Manhattan Room, The Upperhouse
$55 per person | 18+

What your ticket includes

Two hours of bottomless Aperol Spritz, Limoncello Spritz, Hugo Spritz and Mimosas

Charcuterie and cheese plate

Live music from C.N.D.Y. Duo from 1pm

Settle in with your favourite people over bottomless spritzes and a charcuterie plate, enjoy the live music and spend the afternoon with the people you never seem to see often enough. Before you know it, you’re already talking about when you’ll do it again.

And when your two hours of bottomless spritzes are over, there’s no need to rush off. Stay for the music, keep the conversation going and order anything else you’d like from the bar.

Saturday afternoon is sorted. You just need to decide who’s joining you.
