Off the felt
Kettle's on, cards are dealt
A short list of coffee, tea and cold drinks — this is not a place to eat dinner.
The pantry shelf
A pour, not a meal
Where the picking crews once sat down for smoko, a narrow counter now serves coffee, tea or something cold between hands.
The list stays short on purpose: filter coffee, a pot of leaf tea, and lemonade or mineral water for the drive home.
Anyone hungry should eat beforehand — the pantry shelf runs to nuts and crackers, and that is the whole of it.
Coffee
Filter or plunger, made fresh through the evening.
Tea
A proper pot of leaf tea, with milk on the side.
Snacks only
Nuts and crackers on the shelf; dinner is on you.
