    Scott reckons:

    Standard parma this time and while still very excellent it isn't quite as good as the Wednesday special. Size is brilliant, chips are flawless. Parma was a touch overcooked and topping did need a little something to perk it up. Salad again was very basic but still good. Bonus point for a great venue and service. Still my most reliable place for a brilliant parma.

    A good solid parma all round, if anything could have been just a little bigger with a few more chips but not to bad at all. Great pub too with warm decor and pleasant staff

    What an unexpected surprise. I went thinking I'd be having a good parma, what I got was easily one of my top 5 parmas ever. Overall meal size: Huge, Parma: Infallible, Chips: brilliant, and I'm being EXTREMELY picky when I say that the chips could have done with a flavour other than salt, because they did also include tomato sauce. It just happens that tomato sauce isn't my thing. The salad was nice but a tad basic, normally I'd be excepting of it but when it's up against a parma and chips like these it really stands out. The +1 is for short shorts. You'll have to go there to see what I mean ;-). The service and venue are top notch as well. Simply amazing.

    Popo the Monkey reckons:

    Date of consumption: 7-Apr-2010 Topping had pretty good cheese on it. Not too bad value for only $15, but the size of the meat could improve before this parma challenges for the best in the CBD. Apologies, no pictures this time around.

    Brad reckons:

    This was the Hawaiian parma from their "parma's of the world" menu available on Wednesday. The chips were well cooked and crispy but needed a lot of salt. The biggest concern of the dish was with the chicken quality - the texture seemed very un-breast like.

    Soggy, too much cheese & weird tasting ham. Not worth a visit... and certainly not worth the price.

    Great parma- thick chicken breast with a nice topping, chips were possibly the best i've ever had with a very generous serving of them. Great Pub, worth checking out the wednesday Parma special.
