Get Your Pink On! at The Commons Local Eating House, Darlinghurst

Okay, I didn't really try any of the food from The Commons but I did spend an enjoyable afternoon in their front courtyard for a "Get Your Pink On!" function - a collaboration between FCBA and @Eatventures in support of Breast Cancer Network Australia.

Front Courtyard

In keeping with the pink theme, the courtyard was decorated in pink and the food followed suit.

Drinks Station

Whilst looking pretty, the mocktails didn't taste so great and many glasses were left abandoned in favour of the awesome array of food:

They even had the owner of Paella del Mar drop by and construct two spectacularly large paellas:

Beetroot, Chorizo and Calamari Brown Rice Paella

No foodie event is complete without some mandotory photo-taking:

On top of all this food, a pink smash cake filled with lollies was included in the celebrations:

Overall, a great event for a worthy cause and I got to meet/catch up with fellow foodies. The only comment I have about this place is that they really need to sanitise/deodorise their bathroom because it stank!

The Commons Local Eating House does require a 5-10min walk from the nearest station (Museum or Kings Cross), or you could be a little more adventurous (like me) and walk to/from Central Station.
