Drove 3 hours to visit Whipbird and it was worth every minute! This business is proof that, even tucked away down a little dirt road, people will come if it's worth the effort. The venue itself, a renovated old church, is warm, inviting, spacious and tastefully decorated. Even full of diners, it didn't feel cramped or overly noisy. The staff were lovely and catered to our needs with smiles and charm. Nothing was a problem and they were friendly and attentive throughout. As for the food, it was fantastic. My potato rosti (from the all-day breakfast menu) was perfectly prepared; crispy and flavoursome, on a bed of bacon, rocket and chutney, topped with a textbook poached egg and thick, creamy Hollandaise. My wife's Leek & Thyme Chicken, served in a cast iron pot, was even better than my own selection. It was a rich and delectable creation, with the chicken thighs incredibly moist and tender. It was so good that we requested some bread to mop up the leftover sauce! We followed lunch with some impressive desserts (sticky date pudding & affogatto pudding), and a cuppa (flat white much enjoyed, and a more generic, least exciting choice of the day, Chai latte). In summary, Whipbird provided an experience we regularly seek but rarely find. The venue, food and service were all 5-star. And yes, in agreement with some other reviewers, the prices are on the higher side. Nevertheless, in this case the adage 'you get what you pay for' rings true and, for us, it was money very well spent.
