This was a great experience for 4 of us. O am a local and like the Dick Whittington experience. I was hosting friends, one from Wollongong and two from Brunswick All of us were in praise of the experience. Furthermore, when I went to pay I realised the Senior Meals were from Tuesday to Friday. We were given this option, the Senior Meal deal on a Saturday. Was it due to the fact I’ve been here before? Thanks very much!

I've been there heaps in each section but hadn't sat to eat for a while and it was lovely and we had a great time. The two-three staff were so helpful and appeared to be going out of their way to work hard and get things clean for us and we felt very looked-after.
