Went here for lunch today - I loved the vibe of the place it’s very old world glam. Service and greeting from the bar staff was good, prompt table service & food delivered quickly. In regards to the dishes I had the lentil and haloumi salad ($22) and my mate had the beef ribs ($26) both pictured. The beef ribs were cooked to perfection and falling off the bone - trimmings were well cooked. The salad was quite good, haloumi and lentils cooked well - only thing I will say is it needed a squirt of lemon juice to lift the whole dish other than that I couldn’t fault it. Overall I think it’s a nice place to have lunch or dinner, the inside is quite charming and I liked the whole experience. Always hungry thumbs up for this one.
It's another big old pub that I've driven past hundreds of times. situated on Henley Beach Road opposite Little Canton and just down from the Foodland, there's plenty of parking out the back with a drive through bottle shop, pokies, live music , pokies and all the trimmings.
Inside there's a slightly saggy Art Deco vibe going on in a big eating space with plenty of tables. There's a function room upstairs and the night we were there it was being used by a Buck's Night, but it's clearly well insulated because not a peep interrupted our meal.
Very friendly staff took our orders and it all soon arrived. There were three of us.
Ordered Cheesy Garlic Bread, a grazing platter and a beef schnitzel with gravy plus a round of drinks - a soft drink, a juice and a cider.
Bread rolls arrived and were fresh and tasty. The grazing platter had two well packed beef sliders, about a dozen Buffalo wings and two arancini. Along with the garlic bread this was shared between 19 year old son and his mum who also helped herself to a fair bit of salad from my schnitzel plate.
The schnitzel arrived with chips, salad and (how civilised!) gravy in a separate jug
Everything was perfectly acceptable and, while not the greatest food I've eaten lately (or even the greatest pub food) it tasted fine and it filled us up and left us happy.
Cost was just North of $70 for the three of us which, to be frank, seemed a little high for what we got.
But it was all firmly in the "pretty good" range.
A family outing for lunch on a Sunday - 20 folks. Plentiful parking caters well for the older folks whilst internally, a nice refined decor, with a 1920's 'deco' twist. Friendly enough staff and reasonable range, also suited to folks on a pension. I ordered atlantic salmon with bok choy, mushrooms and soy. I still remember the first bite of the mushroom, that just melted - a delight. A somewhat 'light' meal that I supplemented with some of the wifes pizza to assist my running training. Good venue that caters well for large groups.
