The Chidlow Tavern
Reviews
Good food. Great service. Good menu. Jason, the chef has great sense of humour, and goes to great lengths to give you your meal just the way you want it. Great for Celiacs MOST of the menu is Glutton free;-) made my wife VERY happy as gluten free places hard to find. Give this place a go. You will not be disappointed.
What a lovely country pub. The owners a so warm and welcoming. The food has country sized servings and is very tasty. I recommend anyone looking to get out of the city for a day to come for a drive and pop in to the Tavern for lunch.
Went as a table of four to the Chidlow Inn Tavern for lunch. Arriving at 1pm, there was only one other table seated, so the dining room was nice and quiet. After taking our pick of the tables, we were promptly attended to by a very pleasant, helpful and happy waitress. We ordered our drinks (soft drinks) which were delivered to the table very quickly. The lemon lime and bitters was more of an orange coloured lemon drink, but we forgot to ask for our extra bitters (which is a regular thing we do). We settled on ordering 3 chicken parmigiana and one scotch fillet. Our food all came at once, which was very good. The chicken parmigianas were of excellent quality, the chicken was moist, with a light crumb coating, a fresh tomato sauce and cheese. The dish was served with chips which were well cooked and a salad dressed in a very tasty mustard vinaigrette. The scotch fillet was ordered as medium well, and came out a little over cooked, but by no means dead. The steak was served with a generous serve of garlic sauce, which was very tasty, if not a little too much, and the chips and salad of the same quality as the parmigiana. Overall the quality and quantity of the food was excellent. The only negatives I can think to give to the Chidlow Inn is the quality of the tables and chairs. Our four-top consisted of two small plastic tables with chrome legs, one of which creaked quite loudly whenever the slightest pressure was placed on it, the chairs were of a aluminum tube construction with padded back and seat, which whilst comfortable, tended to cut in just behind the knees. Facilities would be a 3/3 if the tables and chairs were updated to reflect the colonial style decor throughout the dining room. All in all a great little pub, and a great place to have a meal. $110.00 for four persons
