lemonade
This
pub
was
highly
recommended
to
us
by
the
Info
Centre
in
Armidale
as
we
head
towards
Tamworth.
We
arrived
1.15pm
and
ordered
shortly
thereafter.
It
was
1.50pm
when
the
kids
meals
arrived.
Thinking
ours
were
following
shortly,
we
had
to
wait
until
2pm
for
ours
and
only
got
them
when
my
husband
chased
down
a
wait
staff
and
asked
where
our
meals
were!
The
pub
wasn't
at
all
busy
-
a
few
tables
with
patrons
but
more
empty
tables
than
not.
We
ordered
two
kids
meals
-
both
were
chicken
strips.
Us
adults
ordered
the
steak
ciabatta.
When
they
arrived,
the
chicken
for
the
kids
was
luke
warm
at
best,
the
steak
in
our
ciabatta
was
cold.
The
ciabatta
was
literally
just
half
of
a
ciabatta
roll
to
make
an
open
sandwich.
Why
they
couldn't
include
the
other
half
of
the
ciabatta
roll
I
have
no
idea!
With
the
kids
meals,
a
poppa
and
ice
cream
is
included.
We
asked
three
times
for
the
poppa
while
we
waited
for
our
meals.
The
wait
staff
member
we
spoke
to
was
completely
clueless
that
the
kids
meals
included
a
poppa
and
ice
cream.
After
the
third
time,
they
finally
arrived...
but
after
the
food
arrived!
Then
the
ice
cream.
They
were
sludgy
as
had
been
kept
in
the
fridge.
My
husband
at
this
point
was
annoyed.
He
went
to
the
bar
and
spoke
to
Daniel
who
seemed
like
he
didn't
care
and
passed
us
onto
a
kitchen
staff
member.
It
was
confirmed
that
the
ice
cream
had
been
kept
in
the
fridge
next
to
the
poppas
in
the
bar
area.
Seriously...
why
keep
a
frozen
item
in
the
fridge?!
New
ice
cream
was
retrieved
from
the
kitchen
and
these
were
frozen
thank
goodness.
Finally,
let
me
tell
you
about
the
jug
of
lemonade
my
husband
ordered.
It
cost
$13.50
for
this.
The
guy
behind
the
bar
grabbed
a
1.25L
bottle
of
Coles
branded
lemonade
(valued
at
$1.10)
and
poured
it
into
the
jug
right
right
in
front
of
my
husband.
OMG!
Not
even
Sprite!
We
had
the
SAME
Coles
branded
lemonade
in
the
car
that
we
could've
brought
in!
At
least
it
was
cold
from
the
fridge.
Husband
was
gobsmacked...
when
he
paid
for
the
jug
separately
from
the
food,
we
were
charged
credit
card
surcharge
on
top!
This
is
completely
unbelievable.
Come
here
again?
We
are
not
locals
and
were
travelling
through.
Honestly,
the
other
cafes
in
town
are
likely
to
be
better
than
here.
If
we
stop
in
Uralla
again,
we
will
go
there
and
not
to
this
pub!
