No I'm well aware you don't like explaining yourself.
At this point in time I don't think either can be claimed to be a bargain, SOS has started off promising , Noverre lets see.
Definitely need to include less formal areas. I've spoken to the odd lawyer who can't wait to ditch the suit and tie as a dressed up day at the races feels like a workplace uniform.
Otaki and Trentham utilise food trucks. You need to have a decent amount of cash on hand though because that food is not cheap. Again I'm really keen on as much of the hospo being pre-paid so money in the wallet is for betting. If food trucks are used instead of oncourse catering work out a system whereby tokens can be exchanged for food. It's all doable.
I think Otaki and Tauherenikau have sizeable ovens. The committee at the latter definitely cook up fresh food throughout the day.
I haven't been to a hangi fundraiser yet where the food is properly cooked but, Otaki would be the obvious venue for this food type. Something a little different, and authentic.
