AFTER undergoing a $2 million renovation, the Leopold Sportsmans Club is the place that offers something for everyone.<\/p>\n

The \u201cSporties\u201d has expanded to cater for the town\u2019s growing population and now boasts a 200-seat dining area \u2013 ideal for dinner with family and friends, private function room for up to 140 people and two-storey indoor kids\u2019 room.<\/p>\n

There are also new additions to the kitchen, along with a new menu and the club has welcomed chef Darren Nicolich.<\/p>\n

Darren has extensive experience in the bistro service scene, having worked at the Grovedale Hotel and Fyansford Hotel, and everything is now made in-house by the kitchen team.<\/p>\n

The Sporties sizzler is just one dish on the menu, which is a 300-gram porterhouse steak cooked to your liking, served on a hot sizzler.<\/p>\n

The plate is topped with crumbed calamari rings and a prawn skewer, finished with house-made garlic cream sauce and served with chips and salad, or chips and vegetables.<\/p>\n

Club manager Paul Kelly said Darren was a wealth of experience and that he was happy to have Darren on board.<\/p>\n

The club also offers a seasonal menu that changes three or four times a year based on seasonal produce.<\/p>\n

Mr Kelly said with more than 12,000 people living in Leopold, he wanted the Sporties to be the place that had something for everyone.<\/p>\n

All main meals are offered at a discount for members, meaning there is great value to be had by signing up.<\/p>\n

In addition to the bistro menu, there is also a bar menu available in the lounge.<\/p>\n

Seniors can take advantage of the $12.50 seniors\u2019 menu seven days a week, while there is also a $12.50 lunch menu available Monday to Saturday, and a parmy theme night every Monday.<\/p>\n

Sporties will also be home to live entertainment evenings every second weekend in the bar.<\/p>\n

The Leopold Sportsmans Club is at 135 Kensington Road.<\/p>\n

Lunch is served from 11.30am to 2pm and dinner 5.30pm to 8pm.<\/p>\n

To book, phone 5250 2250.<\/p>\n
