This pub is such a great venue, we'd been a couple of times. Our last visit was unfortunately a miss for us. I can appreciate the menu changes to suit seasonality and the local produce, however the menu was small and overpriced.
We ordered a couple of starters before our mains at lunch, and took a chance on a veggie terrine. What we got, was a few picked vegetables and a scoop of pumpkin. It was $28. In hindsight, I wished I'd sent it back because that was certainly not a dish worth close to $30. The service was slow, and to be honest, comes across a little pretentious for a place that really hasn't nailed the experience they seem to be aiming for. We waited 40 minutes between starters and mains with empty drinks on the table between the two of us.
All in all, a really clunky service that needs far more refinement, but on the other hand, a good feed in an amazing country pub and town should not necessarily be trying so hard.
