SAILORS and beer have been a historically good combination going back eons, and this Saturday, in the spirit of things, the Point Yacht Club will host an OktoberFest.
The club’s legendary resident chef, Chef Markus Bänziger, will share his ‘Swiss-German’ roots, organising a German themed menu that includes Cervelat, Bockwurst, Eisbein, Fleischkäse and Bratwurst all served with Chef’s very own Swiss style Rösti Potato or his fabulous Sauerkraut.
