Myself with Evelyn, who is actually a very old friend (we went to school together and have kept in touch as our careers took us in different directions).

Thus endeth a wonderful night. A big thank you to all the crew from Kerr & Ladrbook, and Dan from Mills Reef, who worked to hard to produce a flawless evening for everyone.

The Supper Club...

Willowbrook Park holds an intimate monthly degustation dinner known as “The Supper Club”.  Our guest chef will lead you on a gastronomic journey through six courses of gourmet cuisine, each course accompanied by a different wine on which our sommelier will provide tasting notes.

For our inaugural Supper Club the menu has been carefully chosen by Kerr and Ladbrook to be paired with a selection of wines from Mills Reef winery.

At The Supper Club your pleasure doesn’t stop at the fine dining.  Each of these exclusive events is accompanied by entertainment throughout the evening. Getting our first occasion off to an effervescent start, we are very pleased to announce that soprano Evelyn Bourton, freshly returned from touring aboard, will be providing operatic amusement for our guests.

Willowbrook Park supports the responsible service of alcohol, so guests will be collected from their homes by Carrington Limousines so they can arrive in style, and then be delivered safely back home at the end of the evening.

Of course, guests may choose to make a weekend of it, and having started their mini-break with class, continue it with a stay in one of our three luxury suites.

Numbers are strictly limited to 14, and have already sold out within the first week. Be sure to book ahead for our next one. Bookings can be made through our website www.willowbrookpark.co.nz.
