I have dined at The Griffin's multiple times for team lunches, and I have always walked away feeling underwhelmed with their food. Recently, I have found their prices to be on the higher side compared to other pubs and taste just mediocre. A large group of us had lunch there recently. A colleague ordered Crispy Skinned Barramundi with shellfish in a saffron nduja broth, cannellini bean and fennel. While the fish was cooked well, it could have used some bread or carbs to mop up the sauce/broth, making it more filling, especially considering the cost. I ordered the Taco Bowl, which tasted alright. Another colleague ordered the Chargrilled SA King Prawns with papaya, tamarind, chilli, grilled pineapple, and crispy fish. As soon as the dish arrived, it had a strong, unpleasant smell. The prawns were really off-putting. We have eaten a lot of prawns elsewhere and knew something was not right. She even tried to eat it but couldn't without feeling nauseous. She raised the issue with the staff, who informed her that they receive fresh produce daily and it shouldn't smell. They did offer her another dish, which was good of them.
