Spring Racing Carnival @ Home

For over 26 years, Peter Rowland has been synonymous with the Spring Racing Carnival. In a typical year, we’d:

Serve over 140,000 plated meals
Prepare over 1.2 million canapés
Make enough chicken sandwiches to go around the track at Flemington 2 1/2 times

But this year, with your car parked firmly in your carpark at home, it’s time to break out the dress up box and bust a move in your own VVIP Birdcage Marquee (aka the lounge room!) – CLICK TO ORDER
