Did you hear sardines are all the craze at the moment? We have always been partial to a tasty can of sardines and on Eric's last trip home to France he returned with a beautiful selection for you to purchase. We are down to our last few cans.

We are world famous for our Date scones. But, did you know we make a pretty tasty Savoury scone as well? Filled with 3 types of cheese, spinach, capsicum and a hint of our special ingredient for that extra flavour. Maybe next time you are up you could give the humble Savoury scone a try.

Here’s is the words to La Marseillaise for Erics Celebration of Life tomorrow at 2:30pm. Please open this so you can sing along.

Allons enfant de la patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé
L'étendard sanglant est levé
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils et vos compagnes
Aux a***s, citoyens (formez)
Vos bataillons
Marchons, oui, marchons
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons
Sillons
Ouh ouh

Thank you for all of your beautiful anecdotes about Eric. He certainly made everyone feel welcome and he naturally engaged and connected with people. A genuine host!

Tomorrow, Monday 29th we will reopen The Kiwis door and continue to create a beautiful space for you all to visit. Eric's presence will be sorely missed. Together lets continue his legacy of good food and beverage, conversation and banter.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of our boss, our friend Eric.
Many of you have had the pleasure of knowing Eric. Always up for a yarn, a cheeky joke and a great support to the local community.
With Eric's magnetic personality along with his relaxed vibe Eric created a beautiful space for us all to enjoy.
A large void has been left and as we grieve the loss of our friend, we celebrate the amazing person that he was. Along with Eric's loving family Kimberli, Madeleine and Amelie we hope to make him proud and continue the legacy he has created at The Kiwi.
A celebration of Eric's life will be announced soon.
