Food was really good and the service was ok. I was a little disappointed however, as more than a few items on the menu were unavailable. I understand this can happen, but I feel for a Saturday night all item menus should be available when you sit down for a 6pm meal. When it came to paying our bill, all the prices were more than the menu indicated, I am not sure if there was a Saturday night surcharge. Be sure to check out first.

Approximate cost: $25

Enjoyed a great winter meal here this month. The food was more-ish and the atmosphere was just as you would expect from a great country pub. Service was great and was nice sitting in around the fire.

Approximate cost: $23

This is a great place for a rainy day. Now that my kids are older I tend not to go there as much, it ends up being $15 just to get the 2 kids in now, before coffee or morning tea.

The pad thai is really tasty and the satay skewers are good. I tend to always order the same thing as it is really tasty and yum. parking out the front is very limited, so parking in Safeway is the way to go.

The meals here are your average pub meal. Tasty parma's and prawn stirfry. Can be very loud on a Friday and Saturday night. Service was average.

Offering a great value option of 2 courses for $29.50 makes this restaurant very popular. We did not have to wait very long and we were sitting down at an outdoor table. The ambiance of the street was fantastic. The service was really good if not too good, as we were constantly waited on to the point were we had to get up and leave. (that feeling like you are being rushed to sit down the next lot of people). I found the calamari extremely tough, the lamb shanks were dry but tasty. Mussels were delish!

Met here with a group of friends all with prams. It has a great vast space which is good to fit lots of people in. Enjoyed a coffee and lounged around in the comfy seating they provide.

Called in here last Sunday for an early dinner with the kids. We sat outside under the heaters, (which was great) and enjoyed a great Pizza. Service was efficient, and friendly, pizza was delish!

My mum lives the down the road from here, and with out fail on every visit we make up there we always make time to pop in. The ladies are lovely, the wine is beautiful. Try the Botrytis Semillon and the orange muscat if your a sweet tooth!

I find this place books up quite quickly on Fridays and Saturday nights. The food is typical of your pub/restaurant style. On our last visit, (about 3 weeks ago) we found the menu to be not as good as it has been in the past. (not as many options.... where did the prawn stir fry go....?)
However, good with noisy kids, as there is a play room.
