That was the best small town / road trip meal I’ve had in many many years & a meal I’d be happy to have anywhere. I ordered the lamb vindaloo. It was tender & so flavoursome. Spicy so not for the faint hearted. My son got a chicken tender, which he destroyed so I’m amusing that’s a hell yes. Thank you for the deliciousness

My fiancé, my son and I come here once a year on our way through from South Australia to Victoria. We look forward to having our lunch here, because the staff are so friendly, the food is great, and the atmosphere is lovely. We wouldn’t be coming back if we didn’t like it. This is a great part of our trip away.
