On Friday the 30th of July it was English night which 4 of us attended, the restaurant was full and the food was really good starting of with a plowman's lunch (cheese ham etc) then an alternate drop of either fish and chips or beef wellington and bread and butter pudding to finish, all for only $35 each. This month the theme is Christmas in July.Book early because most of the people we spoke to raved over this place.

We were greeted by Bec and were acquainted with the all day breakfast menu and the lunch menu.We decided we would have the tapas platter for two. While we waited we had a nice conversation with Bec and she told us the history of the building. It was a general store and there are still marks from this service. The walls on one side have these curious indentations (see the photo with Bec pointing at them). These were the marks of cans being pushed back into the shelves and making their marks over the decades in the actual walls.The tapas arrived on a square platter (see the photo). The first thing that caught my eye were the deep fried wedges of camembert cheese. Usually you see these with an entire camembert and you have to cut them into wedges. This approach allowed you to get more of that yummy coating on each piece. Once you select it you have to decide which sauce is best, the sweet chilli sauce? the Aoli? the tomato salsa? The chicken was nice big tasty pieces. The prawns had what seemed to be a cajun seasoning, very nice. Unusually the calamari was allowed to shine on it's own without having any alterations and it was good quality calamari. The chorizo were good too.The wine list was limited but had good stuff on it and I chose a Vermentino for that region which went very well. Bec is proud of her coffee and I found it to be quite good with a nice velvety texture and good aroma. The cup I had was fresh and I enjoyed it.I wish I lived closer, I would happily make this a weekend visit every weekend.
