birkenhead tavern

when we feel like heading out for a drive to anicewaterside pub, this is where we usually end up, unfortunately the food has never been great here! but we do like the setting.

service is pretty good and i do like their hot veg and salad bar, the vegies are simple but always good! don’t see too many salad bars around anymore!

we ordered the seafood platter to share, it’s reasonable value, but it’s not great. the fish was mushy and oily, the calamari was tender but you could still taste the raw flour, the prawn skewers were overcooked, killer oysters were okay and i believe the tartare was straight out of a jar. oh my.

we still keep returning because we just like it and maybe, one day, we will get a good meal here!

schnitzel was ok. the salad bar was aniceaccompaniment. friend swears by it. service was friendly. i am not sure i would come back on my own accord.

came here for lunch whilst working out in birkenhead, adelaide thanks to the terminal manger.

it's a verynicepub located along the water. this place was very busy during lunch and that was a good sign. then menu was pretty extensive but we all ordered seafood, i had the seafood platter.
you have to order and pay at the bar, and they give you a number for the table to bring the food out to.

they also have a free open bain-marie with salad
and veggies which is included with the price of your main meal and is self serve which is a veryniceaddition.

the seafood platter was great and included coffin bay oysters, prawns, calamari and fish fillet and chips. the seafood tasted fresh and was hooked very well. it was also a very good serving size for the price

went here for lunch today, beautiful location with a great view of the port river. customer service was lovely, didn't have to wait long for meals, which was amazing because it was really busy. we had the beef cheek and burger both veryniceand fresh. will return.

this pub has a lovely deck, with a great view of the port river. the food is good, though it would beniceto see more vegetarian options. they have a mushroom & pumpkin risotto and a salad, but all of the other mains include meat. the staff are friendly, the service is quick and the prices are very decent. i'll be back.

nice food at the port. have been there twice. tried the fish of the day and the chicken curry. the curry was too spicy for my wife, but i liked it a lot. the fish of the day was very good each time. the salad bar is also good. it's aniceplace, especially if the weather is good and you seat outside, atniceplace and with good quality food. will there again.

went back for a second time and still didn't perform. i heard such good things about this place so i went to check it out.. and was not so impressed. food is well priced, menu sounds fantastic but it just doesnt deliver.

i decided to go back again to prove to myself that it was just bad luck the first time, so i booked in for a group of 18 for my birthday. once again, food is a good price for all those on a budget but it just isn't regular pub standard.. food isnt fresh and they seem to be aiming too high for their cooking ability.

the staff are all very nice, it has a great view andnicestyling outside but the inside looks a little outdated and the salad bar is pretty terrible. i'd go back if i just wanted a quick, cheap, not great quality meal but there are much better places close by.
