Open Saturday only with seating available. Food made with all the love you would expect from the CWA ladies. Starting at 8.30am with eggs and bacon rolls and working right through lunch (when their famous Irish Stew will be on offer), the menu will change throughout the day.

From 6.30am (in front of The Hut) the hard-working Rotary members will be providing egg and bacon rolls for breakfast. From mid-morning they will move on to fantastic sausage sandwiches (nothing like the smell of a sausage sizzling away on the BBQ) and steak sandwiches. Top up with a hearty breakfast and lunch!

Tucked in between the Museum and RSL (close to the cnr of Bettington and Bow St) the Merriwa Old Boys know how to cook up a storm. Breakfast at 6.30am through to late morning (around 11am-ish). After that the Merriwa Old Boys will be decanting to the football game where they will feed the cheering crowd!
