Blake Seymour has invited whisky expert Matt Barnett and ‘Smoked Oyster Queen’ Lucy Ashley to the special Christmas Blake’s Table event at Spinnakers Ballina.

‘Matt will be sharing a few of his finest single-malt whiskies’, said Blake. ‘Plus, Lucy and I have been working on a unique smoked oyster to start the evening off.’

Blake’s Table menu generally highlights local seafood, pork, beef and, of course, finishes with a dessert. This evening will be special with several grazing courses, a drink on arrival and the chance to meet Matt and Lucy.

Locals and their friends are invited to experience local produce and ingredients in the shared-plate atmosphere.
