Displaying 1 - 5 of 5 Reviews 1 Posted 14 Aug 2008 by doughnazi Well, taste was good. However, the pasta was just warm, and the lamb shanks (that looked absolutly fabulous) was so undercooked I should have ordered a special steak knife with big 1" teeth on it. Seriously, this lamb needed at least another 2 hours in the oven. It was cooked, but it was "so tough"!!! Even a housewife knows lamb shanks need a long, slow, roasting in the oven, it should be falling of the bone. The staff (English girl) who I complained too, was brilliant. She offered to bring me another meal, which in hindsight (as I hacked closer to the bone!) I should have accepted. These are all simple things, the flavour is there, but staff should try it before selling it. Posted 07 May 2008 by kitty0 Last time I went I was missing the sauce off my meal, when I asked where it was, the young man went back to the kitchen and came back with nothing and proceeded to tell me that it was on there I and the chef said it was and that was it. I re-read the menu as I thought it had changed, no, showed the young man, then he continued to tell me it was there when it obviously is not. Its a simple mistake to rectify for the price you have to pay. Posted 02 Jul 2007 by batmanuel I think the BT is sliding further downhill, as the kitchen can't seem to determine whether they are doing a pub meal or going for the mid-priced kind of fare. At $16 you'd expect the veal parmi to be huge, and full of chips with a nice salad selection. Instead it was small, not fresh, had no ham on it, the chips were soggy and there was bugger-all of them. For $10 this would have been acceptable, but they really need to increase the quality of the food if they are going to keep charging non-pub meal prices. Still, the purpose of the night was to get drunk. And the BT does this quite well, because I was feeling about as average as an underdone veal parmi the next day. Posted 12 Jun 2007 by SecretSquirrel It's not the greatest pub on the coast for food. Inside is a large open dining area and being 'family friendly' this place gets really LOUD with all the kids running around. The food is just passable passable. The roasts are often fatty and the menu range isn't great. Service is quick though which is a bonus. I prefer to come here just for a few drinks and in summer it's nice to sit outside. Posted 16 May 2007 by batmanuel We went to the BT on mothers day so it was packed out. This made the line up quite long, but nothing a beer traveller couldn't fix. Staff were friendly despite the pressure of the day. Had the salt and pepper calamari which was very tasty. However the sides were pretty average and the size of the meal wasn't what you'd expect from a pub. Especially seeing as the people across the way got a massive hunk of ribs for an extra $2 or something. So the BT is great for a beer but the food is a touch expensive for what you get.
