Ordinary Pub Grub? Not on your Life! what a surprise!
Over the Queens Birthday long weekend our family were staying at a holiday house in Goolwa, SA, so before we travelled up from Adelaide, I thought I would pre- book a table for 5 at the Corio Hotel in the main street ,(just in case they were booked out) fortunately I did because they were fully booked for the Saturday night.
They have two sittings for meals on Saturday evening @ 6..pm and 8.00pm, we booked in for the 6.00pm sitting.
Not having eaten there before I was expecting the run of the meal Pub Grub, Boy was I wrong! I ordered Boston Bay Mussels with Tomato, Bacon and Chilli and I was truly surprised by the size of the crock pot with no less the 47 Mussels cooked to perfection(yes I counted them), my taste buds exploded with the combination of flavours that this meal contained. These Mussels are definitely on my list for the next time I return to the Corio.
My wife Decided on the Lamb Shanks on a bed of Creamed mash potato, fortunately she decided to just have just the single serve (Entree size) for the meal was more the enough to fill one's hungry stomach. Again cooked to perfection.
The 3 Children (Adults ) thought they would each have a schnitzel, which were so large they covered the plates and each one of them could not finish.
All in all a great meal was had by all, the only fault that I could find was the variety in the salad and veggie bar, which was average,
But this did not take anything away from our meals, of course it was a bit noisy in the dining room, but It was a Pub on a Saturday night!
A highly recommended Country Pub, with a flair for serving up something different and delicious. But do book to avoid disappointment. read more
