An Australian themed restaurant in Saundersfoot will be holding a charity night in February to show support for those affected by the bushfire crisis down under.

The charity night taking place on Thursday, February 6, from 7 pm, at the Kookaba, located on the seaside village’s High Street, is being hosted to raise funds for the Australian bushfire crisis, with guests greeted on the evening with an Aussie lager or soft drink on the house.

There will be a set menu with a choice of three separate starters, mains and desserts, the menu will be tailored to include people with gluten intolerances and also for people who do not eat meat or dairy. The meal will finish with coffee and mints.

Tickets for the event, which will also feature live music throughout the night, are at £35 each, and available from the restaurant.

“Money for any extra drinks that the customers would like to have with their meals will go straight into a donation box as 100 per cent of the proceeds are being donated and there will be the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets,” said restaurant manager, Faye Hilling.

“The raffle prizes will come in Aussie-themed gift boxes and the winners will be announced on the evening.

“The staff will be volunteering their time unpaid and we’ll be raising money for two separate charities so that we can support both the animals and people of Australia.

“We hope we can raise as much money and awareness as possible for this heart breaking cause,” she added.
