much better. i wrote a review a couple of months ago, and it was just terrible.
they must've changed the chef, because i begrudgingly went a couple of nights ago and to my surprise the fancy overpriced menu was out, and the original menu was back!
the food was great, service was great, there's nothing i can complain about!
well done to cobblers for turning it around so quickly!

don't bother. i've been to this pub a few times recently, and always expected good food as a few years ago it was great.
i have been disappointed everytime. firstly it is extremely overpriced. $39 for a steak?! come on - you're a pub in mandurah.
i order the crab cakes as an entree ($18!!!), it tasted like old frying oil and was extremely hot on the outside by freezing on the inside. i asked the waitress if it was possible to get it warmed up, and she gave me an exasperated look and came back with my microwaved warm entree. unfortunately the microwaving didn't give it any flavour.
i had a steak ($39) and ordered it rare, it came well done. i only complained because it was like chewing on rubber, i was told by the waitress that it would get pinker as i got into the middle.... ok then. so i spend the next 20 minutes chewing my way through a piece of rubber for $39.
just terrible.
