Very little meat and lots of onions, celery and carrots. Mashed spud was bland and without any gravy. Salad was the best part of the meal. Previous pies were so good but with new staff they don't know what they are serving their customers. Won't be back again which is a pity as we love the winery but now the cafe is a non event.

It took 20 minutes to be seated, long enough to strike up a conversation with other people in the line. It wasn’t overly busy but they did seem to have too few staff. Could be a lot of walkins? Had the tasting plate which was hit and miss. The hummus I think was puréed potato, the squid was raw and oily. Other than that the other items were ok. When mentioning to the staff they did say they were extremely busy. Overall I will give this place a miss.

Our last visit was in April and we once again enjoyed the tasting plate which has always contained a wide range of tasty morsels, a feast for 2! We were therefore very disappointed yesterday when we received a much smaller tasting plate (for the large plate price) which contained a much reduced selection of meats and no cracker biscuits, undercooked squid which was inedible. We asked for more bread to be able to eat with the cheeses and dips. It seems the Nookery has sacrificed value for economy and service to large groups which is a further disappointment. We always usually buy at least one carton of wine, as the winery has always had a special on when we visited. This time, however, there were no specials available so we just purchased a couple of bottles, adding to our disappointment.

We sat in the sheltered outdoor area with heaters perfect. Food was good well presented. Particularly good were the side of veggies and the lamb pie. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
