Fine dining in mayoral company

Noosa Mayor Noel Playford.

THE annual Dinner with the Mayor event hosted by the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce is back.
The event has become a highlight of the Cooroy calendar, and is informative as well as a great social night.
The tradition continues this year with Mayor Noel Playford on Tuesday 6 October at the Cooroy Hotel in the private dining room, at 5.45pm for a 6pm start.
Cooroy Chamber of Commerce president Danielle Taylor said the Dinner with the Mayor was a great tradition that started a decade ago and had continued since.
“It is quite a social night, and everyone always enjoys themselves, plus it is an enjoyable way to hear the latest news about the region,” she said.
Guests will enjoy a three-course-meal with alternate drops for each course. Entrees are half shell Hervey Bay scallops with avocado, parmesan and mornay or chicken tenderloin skewers with Indonesian satay sauce and lime.
Main meals are either a 250 gram beef rump cooked medium with a side of Caesar salad, crispy fries and Diane sauce or chicken mignon with steamed chat potatoes, green beans and hollandaise sauce.
The decadent desserts are honeycomb and caramel cheesecake with vanilla ice-cream and fresh strawberries and choc cherry crispy fried wontons with a cherry coulis and vanilla ice-cream.
Dinner with the Mayor is always popular, so make sure you book early to secure your spot.
Tickets include a delicious three-course-meal and a lucky door prize ticket and at only $40 for members of the Cooroy Chamber and $45 for non-members.
