Okay, the tap beer selection was quite limited, something that I sort of expected from a place like this, but as a pub it actually wasn't too bad. In fact, it was the atmosphere that stood out, namely because the staff were quite friendly, and the beer garden was actually pretty cool. In fact, it was one of the better beer gardens that I had visited. Sure, it certainly isn't a pub that I would frequent often, but it was still not a bad place.

We went to the Village Belle Hotel on a warm November evening. My ex-sous chef friend tried to get…read moreus in Republica but it was all booked out. We then tried to get into Juana's Tacos but they had a one hour wait for seating and were no longer doing takeaways. So, my friend recommended the Village Belle Hotel as he said we were guaranteed to get a seat. The venue is massive with an upstairs, downstairs, and outdoor seating. They have a large cocktails menu and a succinct dinner menu. We decided to order a carafe of Pimm's cup as my friend likes gin and wanted a summery cocktail, the yuzu salmon to start off with, and the lamb shoulder for two as our main. The salmon yuzu arrived before our drinks. The cured salmon was served with grapefruit and pomegranate seeds. The taste was tangy, sour, and soy sauce like, but delicious. Pimms was overly sweet and I could barely taste the alcohol. The lamb shoulder was quite disappointing. Though the meat was tender and it was a large portion size served with crunchy broccoli, beans, brussel sprouts, and zucchini, it lacked flavour. I couldn't taste salt or pepper or anything and there was none on our table. I think it was just lamb cooked in its own juices and that's what we had been served. Quite disappointing.

I guess being close to a shopping centre certain does help, but in another way, while it did look nice, the lack of beers that were on tap sort of disappointed me. Then again, I certainly didn't pay attention to what was behind the bar, but that's another story. Anyway, this place certainly wasn't too bad, and they do have a rather nice beer garden as well. However, the other thing that certainly does stand out is the service, that was actually pretty awesome in my opinion.

Senior Chicken Parma arrived, the salad was warm with an inedible mushy tomato and limp lettuce, Parma was tasty enough but barely warm enough, it had obviously been sitting there while the chips were done. Very disappointed with some of the staff and the food.

Not that I've got a gambling addiction or anything! Sometimes I like to go here to play pool against my husband. He's pretty bad at it, which works out well because the loser buys the drinks. The meals are reasonably priced and the serving sizes are generous. It's pretty typical suburban pub food. They do a good parma, which is high on my list of priorities.

Anyway, this wasn't a bad pub, though there was a hen's night going on when I arrived (I didn't join in the fun). They have a nice outdoor section out the back, though it is not that large. Certainly not a bad hotel, though it took me a little while to get served, but then again they did have a reasonably large crowd here when I passed through.
