For mother’s day this year my husband arranged for DeFora Café Garnet Road, to cater an evening meal for our family. A menu was sent by email with a wide selection of choices. I ordered pork belly which was cooked perfectly; creamy scalloped potatoes and a really yummy roast beetroot and haloumi salad. The vinaigrette dressing for the salad was to die for!
For dessert we ordered the sweet platter which had chocolate, fresh fruit and a selection of homemade slices that kept us going back for more over the following two evenings. The food was epic, servings generous and pricing very fair.
I wanted to acknowledge and thank Beth and Steve at DeFora for making mother’s day a real treat. I highly recommend their catering service – I can see it will make entertaining a breeze.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
