The Laughin' Barrel - BASKERVILLE

We found this fabulous place on the internet, looking for a reasonably priced high tea for our daughter's 16th birthday.  After friendly communication before hand, the weather on the day was stormy and wet, so we were stuck inside with other party groups. (1st, 40th, 70th) . Even though a few of our group didn't turn up, the ladies were FANTASTIC, very attentive, helpful and friendly.  We all bought wine next door (yum) and settled in to delicious savoury sweet treats.  Great value, more than enough food for all.  Kids meals were great.  Rain stopped kids running around in the playground, but no one seemed to mind the extra noise of them being indoors. Nice rustic setting, views over the vines, we would highly recommend this place for a relaxing weekend of formal or informal meals.... Can't wait to return, thanks Sharon for everything.

A little gem in the Swan Valley!! Service was great with friendly, fun, knowledgable staff. Very relaxed and beautiful location. Food was delish and very reasonable, ribs are a must!!! Very child friendly with a varied menu and great play area. Family of 7 looked after with ease and made to feel very welcome. Will certainly be back!!

We all liked it a big family group with 5 young children. Sat outside near the playground pity about the flies!The children were served first but the food took a long time coming. To be expected on a busy Sunday. Fish &chips were well liked, also the chicken salad with loads of avocado and a good grain mustard dressing.We brought our own birthday cake that was brought to the table with candles, plates and plenty of napkins.Prices are reasonable. All in all a good day.

Amazing food, poor wine. Would go back just for the food! Everyone on the table thought the food was amazing.We had a steak, lamb cutlets, ribs, osso bucco, ham cheese toastie. ALL AMAZING. wine is poor, service poor

Another fantastic family lazy luncheon. Despite the service being a little slow (when not very busy you can't be disappointed with this restaurant offering. It's just fabulous for families wanting a chilled out lazy lunch whilst the kids are entertained with the sandpit and play area. The addition of a TV games area inside the main restaurant is also a big bonus! I wish they'd bring back the pizza making for kids as that was also a big attraction for families by hey ho you can't have everything.<br <br Once again we ordered the famous ribs which are just HUGE portions for $28! We had a takeaway box for two of our meals ; Kids loved the pizza as usual and loved the new addition of the rainbow cheesecake on the dessert menu ; <br <br A definite MUST visit on a regular basis for all families.
