I chose this hotel for a meal after driving 846km because,(a) it was opposite the motel I had booked into & (b) it was 'open' according to Google Maps. I was tired & just wanted a quick, basic, meal. The motel opposite did not open until 6pm, but when entering this place, it too, did not open the kitchen until the same time. The young man behind the bar presented me with a menu & quickly took my order mentioning that it would probably get quite busy! He was not wrong. I wandered out to the spacious ' beer garden' which is really another huge area with tables & chairs plus some Chesterfield type sofas dotted around. After 6.30pm I began writing this review with the intention of giving only one star! Just then my meal arrived! After observing how hard the staff were working, and after tasting my food, the star rating shot up to the max! My chicken schnitzel chips & salad were superb! A huge, tender chicken breast with the parmagiana option, together with salad & chips almost floored me with it's size but I managed to finish the lot!
I had been tempted to order one of the curries which the young barman who had served me originally had recommended, but sadly I reneged. I have no doubt that any item on the menu would be equally as impressive as my selection but I have bookmarked this establishment as a 'must visit' if I am fortunate enough to pass through Broken Hill again. Not ordering the goat curry will haunt me forever I think!
