Loved the laid back atmosphere. A varied mix of patrons with a large elderly group of women dining near us and younger to mid age groups in the bar and at outside tables.
Raffles were being drawn not long after we arrived so I put in $4 ($1 per 5 number slip). 2 large boxes of mixed fruit and veg and several smaller meat prizes. Didn't win but it was fun to be involved.
An enticing menu of modern Australian and English pub food. The specials sounded delicious and both my partner and I were tossing up a few options. Bacon and cheese bread to start. Two pieces were more melted and crisp than the others. He chose the crispy chicken burger which he loved. He commented on the great coating. The hot sauce wasn't hot but he didn't mind that. As it's almost winter I was torn between the pumpkin soup, pie of the day (fish) but settled on the pesto stuffed chicken with mash and asparagus. Loved it! Had a little giggle when it came out with some sprouts standing upright like trees for garnish. Real comfort food and the mustard and white wine sauce was moreish eaten with the mashed potato.
I'd definitely go back for the great menu and genuinely friendly staff. read more
