THE days when a club menu seldom strayed far from a chicken parmigiana and the roast of the day are long gone.

These days club food is increasingly sophisticated — and this has helped earn Breakers Country Club at Wamberal the title of best restaurant in a club, pub or tavern in regional NSW.

The club was chosen from 850 restaurants, cafes and catering businesses in 20 categories, judged by Savour Australia Restaurant and Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence.

The award follows the arrival 18 months ago of executive chef, Aaron Stewart, and a major renovation of the dining area and bars.

“We are thrilled to receive this award, I am so proud of our team,” Mr Pearson said. “Without them this achievement wouldn’t have been possible.

The awards are judged by an independent team of judges who anonymously visit the venues to determine the winners.
