Restaurateur opens in Woy Woy

Local restaurant operator Ms Melissa Coates has established herself in Woy Woy.

She now operates Pelicans Restaurant at the rear of The Old Woy Woy Hotel.

Ms Coates said that the Pelicans Restaurant was the largest of all venues operated by her.

The new venue "easily seats" over 200 people making it "suitable for a variety of functions, including birthdays, engagements and weddings".

Ms Coates commenced trading at Pelicans on February 7 and it is open Wednesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner offering a wide variety of cuisine, including crocodile.

Ms Coates said she was happy with the success of her new business Pelicans Restaurant and Function Venue so far and looked forward to future development on the Peninsula.

"What's unique about Pelicans is it has one of the biggest dining areas on the Peninsula," Ms Coates said.

"Pelicans is an affordable, long-awaited party venue for the Peninsula."
