The breeze had picked up at about 7:30-8pm, we sat outside on a perfect sumemrs night and enjoyed a really good meal. Mind, you, the 4 of us ( me, Mrs Boon and another couple ) were the only people eating when our meals came out!
A group of 6 inside had finished and were about to leave, there were two bar flies in the front bar who left at around 8, so the cook had plenty of time on his hands to prepare the meals. All were good quality pub food.
I went fish and chips ( crumbed ), was very nice, the Mrs a Chicken Burger, again, loved it while my mate had the S&P squid for the second time in a month there and his Mrs the Chowder ( say it, Frenchy! ) that was served in a hollowed out bread roll, like we've all seen at a party where someone's Mrs will make one of those cheese dip thingys. The chowder was really, really tasty.
The Lighthouses own ginger beer is something to behold on a hot summers night, it was a perfect addition to a feed of fish and chips on a summers night with the breeze cooling things down.
With hardly anyone to serve the staff came out to enjoy the cool breeze, the manager sat and chatted for a bit, nice lady indeed.
All in all, I'd give it 8/10. Despite the lack of patronage the place offered some good quality tucker and pretty good prices. ( The fish and chips with 2 pieces of fish, salad and veggie bar was $17.90. A pint of the ginger beer was $7 )

We were thinking it would be a bit of a dive, but inside is decorated just to my taste. (coz im an old man) Nice leather couches and a lots of wood. Pretty impressed with it actually. (probably moreso because of my low expectations going in)
I got the chicken schnitty with prawn and garlic sauce, and the missus got the mixed grill. I had asked for NO chips on the mixed grill, and to include gravy on the side. A table filled up near us about 10 minutes after we ordered, and they got all of their meals before we did. Ours took over half an hour (The patronage consisted of us two, and the people previously mentioned only) Also when the meals arrived, the mixed grill had HEAPS of chips and NO gravy. I had to go up and ask for some.
They were out of large schnittys, so I got two small ones. It was a shitload of chicken. The missus said the mixed grill tasted like she had made it at home, so not worth the $20.
Our meals plus a coke and a water came to about $42, so not bad.
Overall, I'd say it was an ok meal, but not as good as the Birk or the Saily. We will definitely give it another go though because its about 200m from our house.
6/10

It's quite the "old pub" feel, but brought into the 21st century, isn't it? I quite like it in there too.
Pity about the meals when the place isn't very busy.

Went to The Earl of Leicester the other night for a mate's birthday. Ordered the Large Schnitzel...... couldn't finish the chips. This thing was seriously large and tasted damn fine too. Went the beef over the chicken and appeared to be an inch and a half thick in some parts. Other peoples meals seemed to be pretty nice too.
