The fish and chip meal was huge and great value for money. The toilets also were very clean and tidy. Great local meeting place

Ordered hot chocolate and Mocha which were both delicious. As we wanted a quick bite, we also ordered the ham and cheese toasties which were superb. Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely come back again.

We went on a Thursday night which happened to be Steak Night which gave us a steak for $15!
A good vibe and a lot of people eating.
We went for a steak and a chicken burger and both were very good and well priced.
A good place for a nice, reasonably priced meal.

What can I say? I'm a regular here, and not just for the breakfast, although it's one of my favorites. On Sat and Sunday til half 10 (hope that timing is correct) anything on the breakfast menu is $15. It's all good and they even accommodate me, who feels a little bit like Sally in When Harry Met Sally when I order.
If dinner is more your liking, steak night on Thursday (again, $15) is worth the trip in.
This is all part of the Bower, so I also recommend their live music when they do it on Sundays. 😉👍
