Great pub and grill friendly attentive staff great food large portions highly recommend here
Shepherd's Rest Pub excelled in every category (food, staff, ambience). We ate here for dinner on two nights (four meals). The salmon was a really good portion, cooked through yet moist and tender. (We eat a lot of salmon and this meal ranks among the best.)The Haddock was also a good portion with plenty of tender, moist fish with a light crunch batter (definitely more fish than batter). The Mex-style burger was tasty and cooked perfectly (moist but cooked through). The grain salad with chicken was also great. We have been critical of meals elsewhere, but not the food we received at this pub on these two nights. The staff were super courteous and upbeat. They were also very busy, yet served us quickly. Just took more time to get the bill to pay. Shepherd's Rest has a classic pub ambience (difficult to describe it, right?), which made the meal and experience that much more enjoyable. One suggestion is to add other salad meal options beyond the current one, such as Caesar/Cos or tossed/house salad meal with choice of a few add-ons (chicken or salmon or prawns, etc.). Also, the slaw side salad should have less dressing and more of the shredded slaw veggies.
It’s a nice place to eat, the food was really good, you should definitely try the nachos! However, the service could improve a little bit.
Quite possibly the worst Sunday dinner I’ve ever had. Horrible frozen veg, overcooked meat - missing items and when asked for my beef I had the worst grissly pieces with barely any meat. Hardly any gravy and not fresh roasted potatoes just your basic frozen garbage. My other half had a nice fish and chips and one waitress was very nice but definitely won’t be back.
Got hungry on the way to Costco and hubby said we should give this place a try rather than eat at our usual places. He said he's been here once with workmates and it was good. Glad we listened! Food was surprisingly good and at a good price too. It's a pub lunch I would be happy to come back to.
