TV ADVERTISING
Over the last couple of months we've been stopped on quite a few occasions around Launceston by people wanting to know why Hobnobs has closed, so in an effort to get the message out more clearly that
we have not closed but have 'morphed' into a day time deli and lunch spot, you'll soon be seeing Hobnobs advertisements on WIN TV.
As those of you who have visited the new Hobnobs will know, by diversifying the business, our indoor dining area has been reduced to a maximum of twenty eight seats, but the gardens allow for another forty seats for use during the summer months, and we have been delighted with the number of old and new friends who have enjoyed the garden.
FUTURE PLANNING
Our future planning includes the resumption of Christmas Lunch at Hobnobs. However, because we can only accommodate twenty eight diners, we have to sell the tables at their full capacity in order to make it viable. We have six tables of four and two tables of two available. The cost is $150 per person, therefore a table for four will be available at $600. (Should you be interested in putting a party together, please keep in mind that we are offering only full tables of four and the two two's.) Our planning allows for twenty eight guests only. What you will experience will be extremely good value for money. Because we are catering for fewer diners, we shall be able to give better service and quality. There will be canapes and sparkling wine on arrival, with five courses to follow.The tables will be personalised for each party and the decorations and party favours will be of excellent quality.
We shall begin offering Hobnobs' Christmas Lunch with the launch of our TV commercial in a couple of weeks time, so our mailing list friends get a head start for the available tables. We are asking for a 50% deposit to secure the booking, with the balance to be paid by November 25th. Because of the level of personalising that we are planning we cannot refund for cancellations after December 15th. In the mean time, phone around to see who else will be offering Christmas Lunch; there won't be many venues open for Christmas Day because of the very high costs.
We are aware that it is extremely early to be planning for Christmas, but we've always wanted to beat Woolworths at something!

THE COMING WEEK AT HOBNOBS
This week in the Deli we have a range of Atlantic salmon cured using the traditional 'Gravlax' cure of salt, sugar and dill, and also two other cures; the first is cured using sumac, a North African spice with an attractive purple colour and a zesty lemon flavour. The other is a cure of ground fennel seeds and vodka.
We also have a range of our terrines; firstly our popular chicken, bacon and apricot terrine, then a terrine of turkey, ham and cranberries, and finely a rabbit, hare and hazelnut terrine.
