One year celebrations all week Story and photo by Celeste Alexander It’s been one year since Jenn Orchard and Sharyn Hiltz took over the Renwick Takeaways and it’s a milestone they are hugely proud of. The mother and daughter team have worked tirelessly over the past 12 months and the result has been more than they could have imagined. “It’s been going really great,” Jenn smiles. “We think back to when we first started and to now and it’s been a very busy, but satisfying journey. Our customer base has grown including our number of regulars which is fantastic. “But honestly we couldn’t have done it without the support of our customers, so we would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported us. “We hope you continue to enjoy our food and we love to see your smiles,” she says. Asked what were the top selling favourites on the menu, Jenn and Sharyn say the Renwick Burger and Renwick Wedges.

“The Renwick Burger has long been a favourite... we have had nights where quite a few have been ordered. “We recently added the Renwick Wedges and they are already proving a hit but why wouldn’t they when they have the works on top with cheese, bacon, sour cream and sweet chilli,” they laugh. In addition to the menu, Renwick Takeaways still offers real fruit icecreams which are a great treat over summer, as well as a range of smoothies including dairy free options. “We started making them for ourselves to have while we were working, but the idea took off with our customers,” Sharyn says. Because it is their one year celebration Jenn and Sharyn have created three birthday specials that will be available for one week only. Call in and see Jenn, Sharyn and their team and enjoy their week long birthday specials.
