New restaurant at bowling club

 

A restaurant which features a 50/50 mix of traditional Australian and Asian meals has opened at the Woy Woy Bowling Club.

The Bay Café Restaurant has taken over the bistro at the club.

The business has been in operation since June and is owned by Bruce and Carrie Gu, a couple with 20 years of Australian hospitality industry experience between them.

Their experience has been in club and shopping centre food outlets both on the Central Coast and in the eastern suburbs of Sydney.

Bruce and Carrie have been in Australia for 18 years and now live in Woy Woy close to the club.

"Because of our time working with Australian customers, our Asian meals have a Western influence and our Western meals have an Asian influence because we change them to suit our customers' tastes," Carrie Gu said.

The couple offers a café service as well as a restaurant because of their experience as a Coffee Club franchisee.

"As we have been trained as café owners, we not only sell great coffee, we also include club sandwiches, foccacia, Turkish melts and other café style food and cakes in our menu," Bruce Gu said.

Carrie said that they would describe themselves as "Asian chefs trained to prepare Western food and coffee who are creative with their meals through using both of their cultural backgrounds".

"We are also very careful with our ingredients because some people have allergies and so we list everything in the menu."
