We watched MasterChef New Zealand featuring Hawke’s Bay a fortnight ago. The contestants had to cook
off on the barbecue at the beautiful and picturesque Elephant Hill Winery.
The show reminded me of our trip to Napier 2 years ago (with
Bonnie – it was her first long distant ride). We stayed with friend at her lovely
home on Hospital Hill. Debbie took us to Elephant Hill Winery’s restaurant for
lunch. Her family’s business was involved in this winery’s building
construction a few years back. We browsed the menu and Bob was keen on their
liver pate with salad but the dressing was walnut dressing (walnuts and Bob do
not mix!) so we asked if he could have dressing without nuts. No problems, one
of the girls told us and assured Bob that the Chef would do whatever he could
to cater to his nut-free requirement.
When our food arrived - they also served our bread in
separate baskets to make sure that there was no contamination in his. It was
nice to see that they paid attention to details. Well done you!
