  This was a real find a great little pub down a side street again a community Hotel raffles trips away etc The Parma was bloody huge not dry with a good topping and ham and yes it was on the chips the chips were how ever not soggy they were crisp and fluffy inside the salad very fresh with very nice dressing the beer was cold and extremely nice I gave this pub an extra point due to the ambiance of the place and the staff just a great place to have a Parma I did take a point off the chips because of the Parma being on top. I fully recommend this Pub

  Bonus points due to the feel of the place and the staff were very friendly. The parma was moist the salad fresh along with the chips not being crappy thin chips and not under the parma. This pub is off the beaten track has the feel of pubs of old where they have golf games meat raffles and tipping comps, along with a TAB and nice beer. On Wednesdays they have the typical special parma and a pot for $12.00 . The brothers and I have been looking around now for a while at the parma n pot meal deals and this one is up there I will be coming back to this pub.

  This was the second time that I have been to here for a parma. The first one was good but this time it was even better. The major improvement was in the salad department. They went from a couple of scraps of lettuce on the side of the plate to a generous, well dressed pile of freshness. My one critical comment would be that there could have been more ham in the topping. Bonus point for not putting the chicken on top of the chips.

  A generous sized parma with a tasty salad and good fat chips in support. Topping all the way to the edge. No complaints.

  bear reckons:

  Great sized parma that is tasty with good chips and salad. Quite a good experience this place, a neat and tidy fair dinkum little pub that is very popular with the locals and a certain locally based AFL club and the chefs serve you themselves here!. My only criticism of this parma is that the cheese is a little "rubbery" so i suggest the chefs use a better quality cheese, and that and the chicken itself was a little too moist and waterey. Good chips and salad in generous portions. Overall though this is a very good parma but you do pay a bit less than 20 bucks for it, and though its good its a bit pricey for the area.
