Peel Alehouse
Reviews
Ate here with my family (adult children and one toddler grandchild) on a Sunday, for lunch. Was far too hot to take advantage of the lovely beer garden & alfresco area, so we sat inside, under the air conditioning. The design and cleanliness of the premises was nice, and the young staff were mostly friendly, with the exception of one or two unhappy servers, who you can forgive when working in such warm and uncomfortable conditions. The food, however, was largely underwhelming, and even terrible in some instances. I order the fried barramundi and chips, and both the chips and fish were overcooked - I ended up giving my mushy Barramundi to my 2yr old grandaughter. My daughter order the paella, and she was unhappy with the equally mushy, overcooked mussels, prawns and calamari, which she couldn't eat, though said the flavour of the rest of the dish was adequate. My son ordered the pork belly, which he enjoyed, and my daughter-in-law a prawn pasta, also well overcooked. The only real stand out dish of the day was the $15.90 special, a roast, which my husband ordered. The meat was tender, moist and delicious, and he cleaned his plate. The atmosphere is family friendly and the staff seem to accept that a pub with a playground attached means that small children are often loud and boisterous, so at least it's a comfortable place to take a young family. But on the whole, the food wasn't good at all, particularly as you're paying restaurant prices for very, VERY average meals. If I were to go again (and now that Cobblers has opened again in Falcon, I don't think I'll need to), I'd only order the daily special, and be prepared for an sub-standard meal.
Orders mixed up. Generous lemon cake slices. Meat overcooked. Burgers and sandwich the same. Drinks overpriced. Cake stale. Staff is nice. Ran out of cutlery. Sexist signs.
Comfortable setting. Good choice of foods. Plenty on tap
Fantastic food and service very family friendly with a playground for kids I would give it 10 stars out of a possible 5. Prices are good too.
Good food at low prices but drinks are very expensive.
