The bartender didnt have a clue, read the recipe of mojito from the menu and simply put all the ingredients in a martini glass without even stirring. The image attached is supposed to be a mojito

Food was good. Female staff member was very kind and helpful, we had a small baby in our group and she was most helpful ensuring we were seated in a good position.

Good old country vibe pub! Good feed with exceptional portions, will fill up the biggest of eaters. A nice place to stop at whilst visiting the Dandenongs, sit in the front beer garden, enjoy the fresh air whilst enjoying a cold beer off the tap with a decent feed. Plenty off the street parking available.
2nd visit and didn't disappoint with the expectations that come with a country-like pub!
TAB facilities. Support local.

We ordered a chicken parma and the prawn gyoza with a side salad. The Parma wasn't anything special for $25 you could tell it's not home made and frozen and then deep fried and then add the rest. so charging $25 for that is a bit rich. the dish had Verry few chips and a small salad. (The chips were unseasoned). The gyoza was overcooked the pastry fell apart and the salad dressing just tasted like praise mayo and wasn't appetising at all. The staff member that seated us was Verry nice, however the woman at the bar didn't seem interested at all and came of as grumpy and had no customer
