Really have to bring a group here so we can share more dishes among ourselves. YUM! And pubs these days are serving really impressive food. I'd go even further by saying I enjoy eating at pubs more than restaurants! Just more relaxed and cosyWinstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536704297054335614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-79174522636419035032012-07-06T21:10:52.835+10:002012-07-06T21:10:52.835+10:00Aw Bec I'm so glad I could play a part in an I...Aw Bec I'm so glad I could play a part in an I'm sure much-needed special day for you both!

Wonderful meal on a child free day. We had the gnocchi too, and chocolate terrine. The merlot and coffee were also top notch and we found the dining room very intimate. We booked, which I'd recommend as the room was full.

If it comes down to a choice (and I guess it does), I support high density urban living vs urban sprawl filled with chain stores, no PT and nothing to do for bored teenagers. I'd still sooner see these old pubs retained, even if it means turning into "gastropubs". Lots of pubs have managed the change well. You still see plenty of fluoro yellow-jacketed wharfies in the Station stopping off for a quick pot, despite the $30+ mains in the dining room. Hell, why not build apartments on top of a killer restaurant, bar and - therefore - community hub? Probably because no-one wants to live above a pub.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-48192275542566031802012-07-06T06:40:31.282+10:002012-07-06T06:40:31.282+10:00It's such a shame the Rising Sun on Geelong Rd...It's such a shame the Rising Sun on Geelong Rd closed!<br /><br />http://maribyrnong-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/rising-sun-hotel-to-go/James In Footscraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-33410554276119870782012-07-05T14:14:56.253+10:002012-07-05T14:14:56.253+10:00Definitely love when everything's local and ho...Definitely love when everything's local and homemade.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-67723430762845009952012-07-05T14:14:11.240+10:002012-07-05T14:14:11.240+10:00Hi Mez, if you go to their website you can see the...Hi Mez, if you go to their website you can see the menu - there are a few goodies on there that look like they might qualify. Have you heard of this mob, the Caroline Springs Animal Welfare Network? http://www.csawn.org/ They are putting together a guide to the western suburbs of everywhere vegan and vegan friendly. All Ethiopian vegetarian food is also vegan as for religious reasons, many in the Ethiopian community only eat vegan I think for like two months a year and two days every week.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-70672406918006090612012-07-05T09:34:56.378+10:002012-07-05T09:34:56.378+10:00Do they have any vegan dishes?
