Looking Back – Christmas Dinner at La Cloche, Dec ’25

What a lovely evening, the weather gods played ball, and the people, location and food were all wonderful!

We had people spread over three larger tables and the whole evening worked well.

As a reminder of the menu:

We were met with the usual glass of bubbles, thanks Wayne

First course – amuse bouche – was a small mushroom voul au vent and a small smoke chicken gougere

Second course – entrée – Salmon terrine

Third course – main – we had the choice of either fish or duck, both were delicious 

Dessert – Le Chocolat et les fruits rouges

A festive evening that everyone enjoyed. A comment from one of the Club members:

Had a great time last night. The food was amazing, couldn’t fault it. (especially the dessert) The staff were so friendly and efficient.

Christmas Dinner – Dec ’24

Le Marché Francais
262 Thorndon Quay, Wellington
Wednesday 11th December

Please arrive at 6.30 pm for seating at 7.00 pm

We have dined at Le Marche Francois before as a Club and people enjoy the food, the company and the atmosphere.

Veronique Sauzeau [Vero] is the chef and owner and the menu she has prepared for the night is:

  • A selection of petite entrees
  • Mains – your choice of either beef, chicken or fish
  • Petite fours for dessert

And to repeat Wayne’s original instructions on getting there: Le
Marche is upstairs in the furnishing shop quarter of Wellington’s
Thorndon Quay. If using public transport, simply get off the bus at the
old Woolstore stop.

Please Note

  • You are asked to arrive before 7 pm, as the roadside main doors are locked at
    this time.
  • Please come up the stairs to the first floor, where you will be greeted with a
    complementary glass of bubbles.
  • The meal is BYO wine, and your prepaid cost includes corkage and a discount on the meal. During the evening, it is customary to share the bottle of wine you have brought with your neighbours.
  • We are expecting to finish sometime between 9.00 pm and 9.30 pm, but this is a guideline only, in case you are arranging transport home. Please try and stay as flexible as possible.

Please contact Wayne if you wish to attend this event and have not already contacted him.

Cost is $85 per person and must be paid on or before the 1st December, which is the close-off date for this event.
