The Coobowie Hotel
She’s an old school country pub - just how I like’m.
The missus wasn’t real impressed with place at first (old decor, outdoor toilet...) she would’ve preferred to eat at the Troubridge Hotel in Edithburgh where we were earlier. Their prices seemed steep which has come about with the closure of The Edithburgh Hotel across the road - one pub town now (when did this happen???)
Anyways, we made our way through the bar to the bistro which has two areas. We chose where you could look out at the water. The missus also noted the plastic outdoor furniture we were seated at, the cutlery in paper bags, and disposable paper table cloths. I’m thinking if the grub’s no good, I’m going to be hearing about this for a long time...
Well well well, if their was humble pie on the dessert menu I would’ve ordered my wife an extra large piece.
She had a chicken parmy which she said was excellent, it was almost the size of a house brick, breast cooked perfectly with excellent cheese/nap sauce ratio. Fresh coleslaw, a very tasty pasta salad, tomatoes, cucumber & other assorted rabbit food - chips on the side.
I had the battered butterfish, 2 huge pieces cooked in a superb beer batter, plenty of chips & salad also.
Both kids had nuggets & a heap of chips - no complaints there either.
“Never judge a book by its cover” I may have smugly let slip mid meal.
Highly recommended 8.5/10
