Next Happy Hour Speaker - Simone Bishop

How beautiful does that look?

Beef Kebab (sirloin) with chips and salad.

As usual Agdervanic Caterers, at the Old Edwardian Society, for the 17th and 21st September 2018 have produced a wonderful special.

The special is none other than a Beef Kebab (sirloin) served with chips and salad for only R70.00.

The meal itself is utterly delectable.

The caterers have always done the Old Edwardian Society proud, and produce really good food for its members.

The food is good solid fare, and is not wanting, no matter how you measure it.

Not only that, but all fully-paid-up members also get a 10% discount on all food and drinks - except specials.

A welcome return.

The special for 10th to 14th September 2018 - Chicken Curry and Rice, and Sambals.

Agdervanic Caterers, the caterers that service The Old Edwardian Society, have once again outdone themselves.

For only R60.00, members are able to tuck into this week's special being Chicken Curry and Rice,  and Sambals.

Having devoured the meal on both Tuesday and Wednesday, I found the meal to be quite satisfying on both days, and find myself to be salivating at just the thought of it.

Please note that the 10% discount on all food and drinks given to all fully-paid-up members does not apply to specials.
