Great location, beautiful old Victorian building, great service. Nevertheless, it was a shame that on a Saturday night (8 pm) half of the main courses were not available. Also the building it has a lot of potential. They need to invest in an interior designer and get better management. You are not getting all the return you could have. The food was good, the service also, but the overall experience could have been better.
A rating of 3.5, it was difficult to know what to rate my experience, i wanted to give it higher but also lower, why is this, because of one dish.Having headed here for our Footy Xmas Dinner we had ordered in advance, this saving time and the rush, although you always get someone that forgets what they ordered.The Pub is clean, spacious with friendly staff, for my starter i went for Mushroom and Lentil soup, and it was very tasty, i was left wanting more once i had finished it, top marks. For main i was tempted with the Pork Belly, it did look great but as its Xmas i had to go for the turkey and all the trimmings, i thought i may have food envy of those with the Pork but no such thing. A good portion of turkey was served, moist with stuffing, veg and roast, the gravy was absolutely amazing, i love my gravy and i think this is the best i have tasted. I was fortunate there was no bread on the table else i would have embarrassed myself and mopped it all up.On to dessert, i went for the cheese but as i hate blue cheese requested if it was possible to have a soft white cheese, to my joy i was told i would be served Brie. Brie a soft, runny, tasty cheese, unfortunately this could not have been further from the truth. Instantly i noticed that the cheese was not soft and runny, i thought it may be frozen but it wasn’t, cutting into the cheese it seemed to crumble rather than stretch, be gooey etc, the taste was awful. Im not sure what the cheese was, old Brie, something else, who knows, it will forever be a mystery. Apart from the cheese the food was great, so i wish i could have given a 4.5, but don’t be put off, just don’t go for the Brie as your dessert.
Plate throwing – not good. Want an evening to remember? Not only was half the menu unavailable at 8pm last night, as well as staff who can not muster a smile, but our waitress throw a cheese plate at us and stomped off when we complained we were only served cheese rind – without the cheese. When asked to have the kitchen replace it she said if the kitchen sent it down it is fit to eat! This is one of many bad experiences at our ‘local’ and sadly the service and food has spiralled downwards over the past year. Give it a miss…life is too short.
