A Birthday treat brought us here for the first time today. Arriving Saturday just before noon and lucky enough to snag a car space near the front door. Into the Saloon Bar and it's very pleasant. Open and airy.
Pick a table, no Menu there, so up to the bar we go. The smallest range of barefoot I've ever seen.
No Steak. No Burgers. No Pizzas. No Roasts.
I had to ask a Barmaid if this was the Specials menu. Nope. They just don't offer a wide range of Food. At least on Saturday.
Fish & Chips all-round then. With a choice of Grilled or Fried.
A round of drinks while we wait, allows a look around. Plenty of flat-screens around, thankfully showing different Sports. Big surprise, along one wall are an array of Board Games to keep the Kids occupied.
I'm no fan of Children in Bars. I think it's wrong. But giving them something to keep them occupied, other than a playground. Is an Excellent idea.
The Food arrives and everyone appraises it. One person has selected grilled, the other two, fried. Two reasonable sized fillets, a smallish portion of Crispy Fries and a scoop of Coleslaw in lieu of a Salad. Tomato sauce and Tartre sauce are provided, in cardboard cups as an economy measure.
Not a huge fan of this trend, but I guess it saves on washing up time.
The food goes down well, the batter is light and crispy. No description of the Fish in the Menu, but I'd have said it was Snapper.
In any event, it was pretty decent.
So, first visit impressions?
It's a Fine establishment. Worth a visit.
