The Company Kitchen - ANGASTON

Amazing views and one of the most delicious brunches I have had in a long time, freshly squeezed orange, carrot and ginger juice and fabulous coffee made it a wonderful experience loved everything

The spaciousness, setting and prompt service here, keep us coming back, to enjoy a very good menu. This has become even more appealing since Covid, as we prefer to avoid small restaurants. Here you can choose from well spaced seating inside an extremely large room, to vineyard and hill views from the verandah or deck outside. Along with a daily special or three, there’s an all day breakfast menu, (we love their Eggs Benedict), as well as a range of entrees and main meals. On this visit I had my personal favourite, the Mango Glazed Pork Fillet, filling even as a small serve, (though there’s a main on offer too), with bok choy, sweet potato curls and just the right amount of mango sweet chilli sauce. My husband enjoyed his tasty very filling plateful of two Lamb Shanks with roast vegetables and mashed potatoes. Though we had no room for dessert, the range of cakes did look delicious. Friendly service, good food and great views delightful!

Made a booking a month before the date we wanted for 15 people seated on the verandah. I confirmed the booking 2 days before for 15 people seated on the verandah. When we arrived we were seated on the lawn under some trees mostly in the sun. We asked for some umbrellas to shade us but were told they didn't have any. They had recieved another booking for 50 people so we were bumped off of the verandah for them. They did offer to squeeze us in at the other end if the people there were willing to move. We left very unhappy about the way we were treated.

This establishment is in a very nice location and the surrounds are certainly well cared for. Staff were friendly enough. Our meals sounded great on paper but were a little disappointing when they made it to the table. Chicken and king prawn Kiev with battered sweet potato chips sounds like a great combination if executed well but unfortunately the chicken was overcooked, meaning the prawns inside were also dry while the sweet potato chips were less than al dente at best. The accompanying small salad was fine. The mango chilli pork seemed to be missing the mango whilst overflowing with a bottled sweet chilli sauce. The pork, however, was very nicely cooked. All the elements of a great cafe are there, just a lack of attention to detail. Coffee was average to good but the iced coffee was excellent!

Good food, great service. Went at the start of a week and was quiet. Staff was few but very attentive. All were happy with the food. Good selection, all day breakfast and kids menu was brilliant. Was made to feel very relaxed even though our booking went a bit later than expected. Highly recommend.
