Let me say from the start I seldom eat in a pub/tavern so standards may be relatively high across the board these days. In my youth, I know there was a great variance in quality. I have rated this as a pub which is what it is!

The tavern is styled on ye olde English taverns complete with a Tudor frontage. Lots of heavy wood and a big open fireplace in the centre of the room, unfortunately heating the drinkers not the vast bulk of the diners.

Menu had several standard pub meals but also items that you would expect on more upmarket cafes or wineries. Quite a few things looked appealing. We settled on garlic prawns (main-sized) served with salad and rice ($24) and their signature dish, beef and ale pie ($18) which came sitting on a bed of mash with salad. The garlic prawns were a substantial serve and were quite tasty but I have have had better, although I must say I have also had substantially worse. I had the option to have them in the butter or cream, and I had opted for the cream - it looks better for the arteries (although probably isn't)! The rice was served separately and was just your standard white rice, not jasmine or saffron or anything, just plain steamed rice. I thought a different rice would have been nicer but that is just being picky. Personally I would have rather had more rice and no salad, as although the dressing was nice, the salad itself was very uninspiring. I never realised that tomatos were so expensive as to only place one quarter wedge per plate! The meat and sauce from the pie was divine. It came served in this large pastry basket, which I thought looked rather efficient rather than tasty, although I was assured that with the sauce moistening it, the pastry was tasty as well. Similarly, the mash looked rather unappetising being a bit lumpy and stodgy looking, a bit more like the stuff you get from a canteen. These visuals though were apparently not transcribed to the tastebuds as it was deemed to also be quite tasty. Maybe it was just the angle I was sitting at!

While the main part of each meal was of a good to high standard, the finishing touches could do with polish.

While we both enjoyed our meals, neither of us would make the trip especially to eat there but would visit there again if in Kalamunda at a meal time.
