A Saint Crispin Day Feast
Pay homage to the Smith Street's very own godsend, Saint Crispin.
Overview
If you didn't already have it marked down in your diary, Friday, October 25 is St Crispin's Day — the only day of the year set aside to pay homage to Crispin and Crispinian, the patron saints of cobblers. While that might not mean much to you (unless you have a close relationship with your shoemaker), this year the celebrations will be thrown by Collingwood's very own godsend, Saint Crispin.
With the restaurant originally a cobbler's workshop, it seems only fitting that Saint Crispin should hold an feast fit for, well, a saint. The elaborate offering will be created by chefs Scott Pickett and Joe Grbac, with pork pot pies, gellied ox tongue, 12-hour cooked lamb shoulder and a whole spit roast suckling pig amongst the offerings. There will also be dessert — Tudor rice pudding — and St Ronan's cider will be flowing throughout the lunch.
After a stellar few months and being awarded Restaurant of the Year in the Age Good Food Guide, this could be a good chance to check out Saint Crispin in full swing — suckling pig and all.
To book, call Saint Crispin on (03) 9419 2202. A credit card will be required to secure your booking. If you want a speech on hand, this one could be useful.
