Oh my goodness me! We had the double bacon burger and the lamb mint roll. Safe to say, that was literally the best burger and fries I have had. Crispy bacon, fresh soft bun, caramelised onion, flavourful juicy AF patties and all topped off with delicious BBQ sauce. The chips were fresh, golden crunchy pockets of fluffy potato, with a healthy amount of amazing chickeny salt. I never save uneaten chips, but the serving was so generous we had leftovers and I took them home for tonight! Nella herself was a gem, and the lady behind the counter with the red hair was also so delightful - both real sweethearts. We will DEFINITELY be coming back, what a fair dinkum local absolute treasure.

I came in to get crumbed lamb chops, but they ran out. The helpful ladies behind the counter suggested a tomato and onion sausage casserole dish. It usually goes with creamy potato bake, but I chose the dairy free option on thick toast. I took a seat at the rustic wooden table overlooking the hustle bustle of the popular meat place next door and the fruit and veg market. The devilled sausages arrived steaming hot within minutes. The flavour of tomato, onions, and garlic were a perfect brunch selection. It was a nice way to spend my morning kicking back, enjoying my brunch while people watching. The takeaway shop was clean, and the ladies behind the counter were busy and bubbly.

Fantastic food and service. The staff knew exactly what was in the food and were prepared to alter for allergies. Shows there's still great places to eat that aren't multi national garbage

The staff at the carvery were so accommodating for my dietary intolerances, had some recommendations for a German sausage and were able to substitute the bread for sweet potato chips for me. The store is in a small bunch of shops with a fresh food market. They do coffee and soft drinks as well. Shane to see they're selling. :(
