Introduction by Nigel Godfrey

THE BOAT HOUSE GROUP

CALENDAR OF EVENTS JUL - DEC 2011

Welcome to the second edition of The

Boat House Group diary. It’s packed

with events, promotions and activities

to keep you busy throughout the

summer and into winter.

It’s been a busy year for the Group

already with the launch of our first

Grape House shop, the introduction

of a two-floor play zone at The Tree

House and a new management team

for The Beach House. I also took on a

personal challenge in April by running

the London Marathon and I want to

thank all our staff and customers for

their overwhelming support.

I hope you enjoy our diary of events

and find something to interest you in

each of our venues; The Boat House,

The Beach House, The Farm House

and The Tree House. Also don’t forget

to pop in and see Katy at The Grape

House for that special bottle of wine!

EMPLOYEEOF THE QUARTER

Zoe Blackburn works in Quay Bar at The Boat House. Zoe came from

Sheffield two and a half years ago and started work as soon as she arrived

in the Island. Although new to the industry, she has proven herself to

be a very valued member of staff. Zoe has progressed from waitress to

supervisor and often runs the floor in Quay Bar.

Zoe says: “I really love working at The Boat House and living in Jersey. I

enjoy serving all the regular customers and having a chat but also enjoy

dealing with tourists and letting them know what a lovely island Jersey is.

At The Boat House I work with a very professional team but they are also

my friends and we have a great time together.”

Quay Bar Manager, Kay Winter says: “Zoe deserves the Employee of the

Quarter title because she stepped up to the mark when it was needed. She

is always willing to give that little bit more without being asked and we

would be lost without her!”

MEET THE MANAGER

Mark TostevinThe Tree House

How long have you worked for the Boat House Group?

I’ve been with the Group just over three years now. I started in The Boat House in 2008 working predominantly in Sails Brasserie. Over the three following years I

constantly strived to improve and work my way up the ladder, eventually moving to The Tree House early this year as General Manager.

What do you enjoy the most about your job?

The most enjoyable part of my job is that I get to meet new people every day and also really get to know loyal customers. I get a buzz from the job, there’s nothing better than a customer coming to you at the end of the night thanking you for a

great time.

How is the kids play zone ‘The Monkey House’ being received?

Honestly, I think that was the best thing we could have done. Being a local lad I have always associated the pub and restaurant as a family orientated place and to

bring the kids play area back on this scale is fantastic. The kids have been going ‘Bananas’ over ‘The Monkey House’ and the kid’s party packages.

What’s your favourite dish on the menu and why?

At the minute we are renowned for our pizzas and rotisserie chicken, but what I am really pleased about is our new menu being so well received. My favourite dish on

the new menu would have to be our Seafood Antipasti Platter.

What event are you most looking forward to this season?

I am really looking forward to our ‘Big Day Out’ over the August Bank Holiday, where we will be having live music all throughout the day, kids entertainment and a

BBQ themed menu running all day.

RECIPE FEATURE

BALLOTINE OF CONFIT RABBIT

1 Whole Rabbit, cut into 6 pieces1 Banana Shallot, cut in half

2 Bay Leaves20g Juniper Berries

1 small bunch Thyme1 small bunch Rosemary

Duck Fat (or can substitute for a mix of 80% Olive Oil to 20% Veg Oil, although you will lose some of the flavour)

Sea Salt and Whole Black Peppercorns20g Pistachio nuts, unsalted, shelled and roughly chopped

Method1) Mix together all the ingredients, except the pistachio nuts, and place in a pot using

enough fat to completely cover the rabbit.

2) Cover the pot and cook in the oven on a medium/low heat for approximately 3 hours, or until the meat easily falls away from the bone.

3) Strain off the fat and retain for future use (this will keep for several months in the fridge and is great for making tasty roast potatoes or repeating this dish).

4) When the rabbit is cool enough to handle, but still retaining some heat, tear the meat into small pieces discarding and bones and sinews.

5) Season the meat with a little more salt to taste & mix with the pistachio nuts.

6) Roll the mixture up in cling film to make a thick sausage shape and chill overnight.

7) To serve, cut the Ballotine into portion sized pieces, coat in a little oil and warm through in the oven.
