Set menus for tourist groups

Salaš “Isailovi” — a salaš is a traditional Vojvodina farmstead — is not a restaurant you walk into off the road. We take groups strictly by prior arrangement, with at least one day’s notice, and the minimum group is 20 people. When you book, we agree three things: the number of guests, the time of the meal and the menu.

We give the reason on the Delicacies page as well: “All the food is prepared immediately before the guests arrive so that everything is served hot and fresh, which is why we always insist on agreeing the number of guests and the menu in advance.”

For you that means the menu is chosen before the trip, not at the table. By the time the coach arrives the kitchen has already been working to your number of guests and your arrival time, so the group sits down and eats — with no wait that would push back the rest of your programme.

We greet every group with a welcome drink. It is included in all three menus, as are kupus salata (cabbage salad) and a dessert — cake or krofne (doughnuts).

The menus differ in what comes to the table. One has the “Isailovi” plata (the house meat platter), with cured meats, mladi sir (fresh young cheese) and kajmak (a rich clotted-cream spread). The second has cured meats, mladi sir and kajmak, followed by a hot main course. The third has a hot main course, with no cold starter. The contents of each menu are listed below, in full.

If your group includes guests who need special meals — an allergy or a diet — tell us in advance how many such meals are needed and of what type, and we will confirm what we can prepare. We do not promise every variation in advance; we answer on a specific number and type.

• Minimum group: 20 people
• Notice and agreeing the menu: at least one day in advance
• Confirmed in advance: the number of guests, the time of the meal and the menu
• Welcome drink — in all three menus
• Kupus salata (cabbage salad) and a dessert (cake or krofne) — in all three menus
• The driver and the guide do not pay
• The food is prepared at the salaš, immediately before the group arrives

The menu in which the “Isailovi” plata comes to the table: marinated pork neck, chicken leg and breast, punjene pileće rolnice (stuffed chicken roulades) and chicken strips in sesame, small natur šnicle (plain escalopes), bacon, grilled sausage, cheese-filled sausage and ćevap (grilled minced-meat rolls) made from 100% beef — ten items in all.

The menu also includes cured meats — kulen (a spiced paprika sausage), kobasica (sausage), pečenica (cured pork loin), suvi vrat (cured pork neck), bacon and ham — as well as home-made mladi sir (fresh young cheese) and kajmak, so at the same table the group gets both a home-made meza (a cold platter of cured meats and cheese) and hot meat. With it come kupus salata and a dessert, cake or krofne.

This is the only one of the three menus in which, besides the welcome drink, one drink is also included.

The full contents are listed below, so you can carry them straight over into your itinerary and your sales copy without having to check anything further with us.

A menu for groups that want a home-made meza alongside a hot main course. Cured meats come to the table — kulen, kobasica, pečenica, suvi vrat, bacon and ham — with home-made mladi sir and kajmak.

You choose the main course between pileći paprikaš (chicken paprikash stew) and kotlić (beef and pork stewed in a cauldron over an open fire). We agree the side dish in advance, together with the menu: mashed potato or pasta.

The menu comes with a welcome drink, kupus salata and a dessert — cake or krofne.

• Welcome drink
• Cured meats (kulen, kobasica, pečenica, suvi vrat, bacon, ham)
• Home-made mladi sir and kajmak
• Pileći paprikaš or kotlić (beef and pork); side dish by arrangement — mashed potato or pasta
• Kupus salata (cabbage salad)
• Cake or krofne

A menu without a cold starter: a welcome drink, a hot main course, kupus salata and a dessert.

As in the previous menu, the main course is pileći paprikaš or kotlić of beef and pork, and the side dish — mashed potato or pasta — is agreed in advance.

It suits programmes in which the meal is a single hot dish and the group spends the rest of its time at the salaš over a drink, a look round the property and the gift shop.

• Welcome drink
• Pileći paprikaš or kotlić (beef and pork); side dish by arrangement — mashed potato or pasta
• Kupus salata (cabbage salad)
• Cake or krofne

A welcome drink greets every group and is included in all three menus.

In the menu with the “Isailovi” plata, one drink is included in the price in addition to the welcome drink.

Every other drink is charged separately and is not part of the menu price. If you need that part for your costing too, ask us in your enquiry.

• Welcome drink — included in all three menus
• The menu with the “Isailovi” plata — one drink is also in the price
• Other drinks — charged separately

Two extras that stop the meal being a lunch break and make it part of the day’s programme. Both carry a supplement, and we give you the amount on request, together with the price list for the menus.

The tamburaši (a traditional tamburitza band) play live. For a coach group this is the turn guests remember, and it gives the guide something to announce before arrival. The supplement also depends on the size of the group, so we work it out against your number of guests.

The wine tasting with a sommelier’s talk is a guided tasting: the sommelier stays with the group and explains the wines being tasted. It fits neatly into programmes that take in Srem and Fruška gora on the same day, but it also stands on its own.

If you are planning either of these two items in your itinerary, say so in your first enquiry, along with the number of guests and the date — we will confirm whether it is possible for your date and send you the supplement.

• Tamburaši — they play live; for a supplement, the amount also depends on the size of the group
• A wine tasting with a sommelier’s talk — a guided tasting; for a supplement
• Name both items in your enquiry, along with the menu and the number of guests — we confirm them for your date

The guide and the driver are free of charge with us — we do not charge for their meal. That applies with all three menus and does not have to be arranged separately.

The toilets are free of charge as well — four in total, two men’s and two women’s.

• Guide — free of charge
• Driver — free of charge
• Toilets — free of charge (4 in total: 2 men’s and 2 women’s)

We do not publish prices on the website. We send the price list and the offer directly, on the basis of your enquiry, because everything is worked out from the number of guests and the menu agreed. You can send your enquiry by email or by telephone.

In your first message we need four things: the number of people, the date, the time of the meal and which of the three menus you want. If you are planning several dates in the season, send them in the same message.

If your arrival time shifts while you are on the road, let us know — the kitchen works to the time agreed, so we need that information for the meal to be on the table when the coach pulls up in front of the salaš.
