Picket Fence Restaurant

Brilliant atmosphere and great food! Absolutely loved the arancini balls, and coffee is always fantastic. Definitely pay this place a visit - the owner and staff are wonderful and brings such a good vibe to the place!

We were regulars when thia was The Cottage and were excited to try it as Picket Fence. The pros: The staff are very friendly, welcoming and efficient. The food was super nice and portions good value for money. The ambience is nice and bright and not too loud like it sometimes used to be. The cons: There were less than a dozen customers when we arrived for breakfast, yet our meals took more than 30 mins to arrive. For some bacon and eggs, this is too long. On the plus side, someone did acknowledge our wait time and assure us our food was on the way. They seem to have a lot of very new staff members, which made for some confusion at times. We ordered cookies before we left, to take away with us, we were charged for one more than we wanted (ended up just taking extra instead of watching poor confused staff member try and work out how to refund us)... they are $5 biscuits, so this was a bit disappointing. All in all, the quality of the meals and the really good customer service, made us far more tolerant of the errors. We will definitely return and hopefully when we do, these issues will have been ironed out.

Good coffee. Nice garden. The bread wasn't toasted for the eggs on toast. Forgiven to some extent 'cos it was excellent bread. Friendly staff/management
