The Whitehorse Tavern At The Equestrian Club is getting ready to reopen for the Winter Equestrian Festival and the International Polo events here in Wellington Florida.
I would like to introduce you to the best chef in the world, Joshua Rogers. I am very biased of course because he is our second oldest son. Joshua has been in the restaurant business since the age of 16. He is very talented and is one of the best chefs ever according to me; his mother!
A few years ago Jenny Oz who owns the Tavern On The Green in New York opened up a Wellington Florida Tavern On The Green. She became partners with Mark Bellissimo and some others in the restaurant venture. At that time, they hired Joshua as a Sous Chef. Then the year after that he was promoted to Executive Sous Chef and the Banquet Chef. Jenny Oz rides here in Wellington Florida each year.
Last year Jenny Oz and Mark Bellissimo parted ways and Mark kept the restaurant but changed the name to The Whitehorse Tavern At The Equestrian Club and promoted our son, Joshua Rogers to Executive Chef.
Joshua has created all the menus for many of the venues including the main Restaurant which has dinner dining and a tapas menu. The restaurant pricing starts at $6 for soup and goes up to $30 for an entree. The Tapas menu runs from $3 to $7 for each item.
They are opening up several different eateries around the showgrounds including the Tiki Hut which will be serving fish and other items with a tropical flair.
Then there is Salad Fusion which is a 'create your own salad' style restaurant and will also serve Paninis and cold sandwiches offering a healthy option.
There is also the International Club that will be serving breakfast and lunch a la carte for 800 seats and Joshua will also be in charge of 1 to 2 buffets a week serving anywhere from 600 to 1200 people each dinner. I know that Joshua is going to do a fantastic job getting all of this done. He is very good at delegating and implementing thought out action plans.
Around the showgrounds there are also going to be special events tents that will offer catering for the different box stations that serve 20 to 30 people each. These special events tents are only available for dinners and are booked well in advance. These are always sold out on the 'night class events'.
The goal is to have enough food to offer the public when they come to enjoy the Equestrian event and the riders and participants. The Tavern restaurant also is open to the public and Joshua's goal this year is to spread the word to the public that the Tavern is open and the public is welcome.
The Whitehorse Tavern At The Equestrian Club is also available to do the catering for your weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and Birthdays.

Oh Katerina what a great post! You must be so proud...he is very handsome and very talented!
Barbara- Thank you! We are very proud of him! He is so talented, responsible and has a great entrepreneur spirit- Homeschooled also! Katerina
What a great blog - you must be so proud of your son Josh. To be so young and accomplished so much. Very cool....
hi Katerina, Next time we are in your town, we'll be sure to visit that restaurant that Joshua created all the menu!
Katerina, when I learn how to ride a horse a little better than I do now, I'm coming for a visit and check out the horses and the Whitehorse Tavern!!
Hi Katerina: The food sounds yummy and the grounds look amazing. You must be proud!
:)
6 bucks for soup.... sorry i cant come over...
Kathy- Thank you! We are very proud; he is going to be 28 years old in September! Oh my, that means my oldest son is going to be 30 and I feel like I am not a day over 40!
Eileen- I would be honored for you to be my guest in Wellington at the Whitehorse Tavern!
Patricia- You don't need to know how to ride a horse to go to the Whitehorse Tavern. The whole idea this year is to get the non riders to partake of this delicious menu and you can always come to enjoy the festivities that go on each winter here.
Matt- Very much so! Thank you! Joshua makes up all his own salad dressings, sauces and creates a wonderful variety of seasoning combinations.
Katerina, This sounds like a fabulous place and I'm sure you're so proud of your son....What an accomplishment. The restaurant and the food sounds just wonderful, I would love to try it one day....
Carole- Thank you! It is a wonderful restaurant. My son invites me there for Mother's Day Brunch each year. You are welcome any time.
So, this is where you are taking me to dinner huh? I can't wait until later this month when we get to meet! Just disappointed I can't be there a few hours early, would love to spend that special time with you. (I think I would have been inspired to give a talk on how special you are!)
Todd- :) actually we were going to give you a home cooked meal since we rarely eat out anymore due to our way of eating. I am looking forward to meeting you also. Now I can say in the post I wrote about you in the Active Rain Star series that I really did meet you. There was someone who was mad that I pretended to have flown to Oregon:)
People are strange and over react to the weirdest things sometimes. Yet, these sometimes are the same people that read the newspaper or listen to the six o'clock news and believe everyone of their half truths.
Todd- :) I know what you mean!
Hello there...from Texas....
It appears that my son is going to get married in the Fall. I called the Wellington Chamber and they said that the girl there was going to have her son's first communion at your place. We are going to have a small wedding of 80-100 people. I would love to talk to you about a simple dinner...thanks.
