Poppies On Canterbury

I have dined here many times with a very large group. This time there were only 15 of us and we had booked well in advance. Theree were only 3 other small tables occupied when we arrived. The officious young lady at front of house told is we had a choice of soup or 1 entree , followed by a choice of chicken or fish for main course for $30 and that was it.

6 of us dined tonight and was wary having read the mixed reviews so here is an example of ignoring the reviews and check for yourself. Service was excellent ambience perfect and the food , well the food was ok but all dishes were smothered in sauce or gravy. Don't get me wrong, the veal dishes we had were cooked well and tasty but overpowered with gravy. Another had the belly pork and was good, another had the deep fried brains which were excellent another had the salmon and was good, so overall good, desserts were good and the chocolate soufflé very popular. We will go back and suggest you check it out as well

Prices are reasonable and service is good.We had curry and garlic prawns for entree, kangaroo steak with veges and mixed seafood fritters with salad. They were delicious.
