Giddy Up At Goosies With A Lunch Buffet For Melbourne Cup Day

This Melbourne Cup Day, Goosies Sport & Recreation Club is ready to “giddy-up” with a tempting lunch buffet that promises to delight every guest while offering a stylish spot to enjoy the race-day excitement.

Kicking off at 11.30am on Tuesday, November 5, the spread boasts a variety that’s sure to please every palate, with selections ranging from savory mains and fresh, light options to indulgent desserts.

Start your meal with a well-stocked charcuterie table featuring a selection of flavourful salamis, artisan cheeses and creamy dips, paired with Melba toasts - an ideal way to sharpen your appetite. For the mains, guests can choose from savory options like mustard-crusted slow-roasted beef sirloin, honey-glazed baked ham and crispy Southern-style fried chicken. Seafood lovers won’t be disappointed, either, with lemon and caper-grilled salmon adding a refreshing twist to the line-up.

The buffet also offers an array of colourful, hearty vegetable sides, including roasted potatoes, sweet potato and pumpkin, alongside steamed seasonal vegetables. Fresh salads such as a classic garden mix, roasted pumpkin with feta, and a crunchy Wombok salad add balance to the table, with fresh bread rolls and butter rounding out the meal.

And for those craving something sweet, the dessert table won’t disappoint. Petite treats and fresh seasonal fruits await, with a rich chocolate fountain as the showstopper - perfect for dipping fruit and other delights.

With tickets priced at $45 for members and $55 for non-members, this buffet is a wonderful way to enjoy race day, at a great price, with great food, drinks and company. Book early at (07) 4942 3393 or email events@goosies.com.au to secure your table for this popular celebration.
