Sando’s serves up Christmas in July at Hawks Nest Golf Club

THE talented team at Sando’s Café & Restaurant are bringing the warmth and wonder of the festive season to winter with a month-long celebration of Christmas in July at Hawks Nest Golf Club (HNGC).

From Friday 4 July, members and visitors can enjoy a festive dining experience every Friday and Saturday evening, with a special two-course menu ($49) or 3-course menu ($59), served alongside the regular Sando’s favourites.

Expect seasonal classics, rich winter flavours, and a touch of Christmas cheer in every dish, like Cognac-flamed butternut pumpkin soup, oven-roasted turkey with double-smoked ham and cranberry sauce, or a decadent traditional Christmas pudding with brandy custard.

The celebrations wrap up with a spectacular Christmas Gala Dinner Dance on Saturday 26 July.

This one-night-only event includes a premium Christmas buffet, live music, and a night of dancing, laughter, and festive celebration.

Tickets are $89 for members and $99 for visitors and bookings are essential.

“This is a brand-new event for us, and we’re so excited to see it come to life,” said Emily McCormack, Events & Marketing Manager at HNGC.

“The team at Sando’s always blow us away with their creativity and flavour, so we know this festive season is going to be something really special.

“With its welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and festive charm, Christmas in July at HNGC promises to be a highlight of the winter social calendar.”
