CARRINGTON NO MORE

FAREWELL CARRINGTON HOTEL. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE.


The Carrington hotel has officially closed it's doors for business!
The old, staple pub has been sold and if the rumours are true the once home of Annie's Bar, drag queens and middle aged drunks will undergo a costly renovation in hopes to give this old timer the much deserved makeover needed to revamp not only the decrepid building but the newly decorated area of Bourke St itself. Farewell Carrington Hotel. You will be missed.

As we are still trading as a cash only business, the closest ATM is now located on Crown St, straight up Arthur St and across the pedestrian crossing in the convenience store.

The good news is we're now a newly licensed restaurant but we will continue to be BYO ($2 p.p) as well. We'll be carrying a house red, house white and a small selection of beers.

Wine will be served by the glass as well as by the bottle and prices at this point are still not confirmed but we hope to be up and running by Tuesday the 17th of April.

DINNER SPECIALS

'Deep fried whiting' - Our whiting fillets are lightly floured and deep fried making them a simple and light entree option. They're served with a lemon mayonnaise. ($14)

'Rotolo' - is a typical Tuscan dish coming from an old peasant tradition. This pasta roll is very popular in Tuscany due to the high quality of ricotta they produce. The Lasagna sheet is filled with pumpkin, spinach and ricotta which is then rolled, sliced and lightly pan fried with burnt butter, sage and topped off with a sprinkle of parmesan. A perfect vegetarian option. ($15)

'Polpette' - In Italy, meatballs are known as Polpette, and are generally eaten as a main course. Polpette are generally found in Southern Italy.
Our homemade veal meatballs are made with bread (soaked in milk), eggs, parmesan, lemon zest, and garlic. They are then cooked in a napoli sauce, topped off with fresh parsley and served with roasted garlic potatoes. ($28)

'Paccheri alla Gricia' - is a typical Roman dish which consists of Paccheri (a large tubular pasta) which is tossed through crispy pancetta (cured pork belly), fresh ricotta, white wine, chilli, garlic and topped off with ricotta salata. ($26)

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT

Now that Bourke St looks less like a construction site and more like a boulevard we call all pasta fans over to try the specials everyone's been raving about all week. Why don't you come around and enjoy the luscious scenery with a plate of pasta and relax amidst the new and improved atmospheric Bourke St.
