I had the 500g Porterhouse schnitzel with mushroom gravy for $23.50, absolutely superb, proper mushrooms too.
A lesser man wouldnt have got through it all

9.5/10


Very solid score

Where is that located you machine?


greenock :D



Strangely I have never heard of it. Googled it and it is past Gawler in the bad lands, no wonder.

We had vouchers for the Golden Grove Tav so decided to go there on Thursday night

I had the Pulled Pork burger.

Good size, but overall lacked a bit of taste. Fries were sensational!

Two others had the pork belly, one had a schnitzel, one had the beef and mushroom pie.

Overall no one complained. The service was very good, friendly and timely.

Cost is a bit 'up there' for the area IMO. 7/10

The Goody

Voucher - free main upto $30

Service was good

schnitzel with gravy clearly needed more gravy.
plate filled with rabbit food

schnitty was nice.

cost is reasonable

location and set up of the bistro is horrible.

Windmill Hotel last night.

2 for 1 in the ent book. 2 mIains and a jug of lemonade $31

The missus had the Mill burger and couldn't finish it, I stepped up to the plate though :)

I had the mixed grill and didn't get through it. Filthy on myself :( Variety, taste and cooking were all superb

Service was good

Food was excellent

No salad and veg bar but really didn't need one as the meals were enormous

Have already taken the Windmill voucher out of the works ent book this morning

9/10. Highly recommend it.

We finally went to the Birkenhead Tavern after living within a Km of it for 6 months.

I just got the Chicken Parmy, which was pretty good. Good size and good sauce. Price was pretty good too.

The missus got the small serving of the salt and pepper squid, which was only $13.90. I thought it would be small, but the plate was packed with thick pieces of squid. The only problem with it was the batter was falling off too easily.

Salad bar was great. It only had the usual suspects, but they were all delicious.

For both meals and two cokes, it cost us $43, which is awesome.

Then we lost about $40 in the pokes :lol:

Overall 8/10

Birkenhead tavern is the best pub to eat at on peninsula I reckon, their Chicken Snitty burger is amazing, it's a good size but it used to be much bigger, unfortunately they've downsized it.

I head up there Tuesday evenings for Trivia which they have in the beer garden area. Very good food (price isn't cheap as such, you're right). I liked the PP Burger as well. Another night I had the rump steak with Kilpatrick sauce on top =)

Try Tuesdays with QuizzaMe - Interactive trivia on the BIG SCREEN they have there (which is sensational)

Will have to try it.
Menu looks good, not trying to get too fancy, just do what they can as well as they can.

Last time I went to the Windmill, it was Melbourne Cup day and popped in to collect winnings on the way home.

An all in brawl ensued whilst waiting i was in line - luckily the offenders took it outside and the cops quckly turned up to take them on a special car ride.

I'm surprised you got out alive ;)

It was very quiet and orderly last night. They even have a play area for the kids.

I have a great memory of going to the Windmill with my Late Gramp. That was his and Nans favourite pub as they lived next to OLSH in Enfield....
On this occasion he snagged 5 Indians with flaming tee-pees X15 betting $1.25. He collected over $2,500 and management opened the machine up and left it open so no-one else could play it for the day. I also ate a schnitzel that day and it was probably good keeping with the thread topic :D

Seacliff hotel

Ordered a Italian Job pizza and it was very nice. Full of flavour.
Mrs had a Trio of Seafood which she thoroughly enjoyed and I had a nibble of the fish and calamari and it was very light.

Used the ent voucher for 25% off.

Came to $50 with drinks and bruschetta

Id give it a 7.5

Definitely will go back

Went to the Grange Hotel for lunch this week.

View was good, service was good, food was good. Just a bit pricey but some of the seafood platters looked outstanding. We had combination platters and an assortment of finger foods and it was all tasty and prepared and presented well.

8/10

Good to hear someone enjoying a meal there. We had 3 of 6 orders **** up there about 3 years ago and havent been back. Problems included raw beef stirfry and some entrees coming out after others' mains.
