Last Saturday, we got together with the group of friends which we went away with for the House-boating holiday back in May. They are three people my husband and I knew through our workplace (including two partners) - so we are a merry band of seven.... and very much enjoy catching up.
We booked a table in a historic hotel - a country pub in Willunga which started operations in 1840. I'm sorry I forgot to take a photo of the very beautiful street view of the hotel. We actually had the entire dining room to ourselves which was lovely - we said it was like eating around the table in houseboat!!
As soon as I read the board on the left - there was no further need to peruse the real menu! Duck (especially confit leg) is my FAVOURITE!!!!
In this room is a secondary bar.... with an interesting addition above the bar!
This is real life size rubber version of a great white shark caught in a seaside town, Robe. I'm not sure what is has to do with Willunga.... but the new managers here are from Robe - so maybe there is a connection there??
Our friends all arrived and after much chatting the food started coming too - this is the beer battered fish and chips
This is the Salt and Pepper Squid that the husband ordered
Last but not least - two at the table ordered the Confit Duck Legs - smothered in Red Wine and Garlic Jus...... I was a happy girl!
Can you believe we squeezed in dessert too!!
My husband has announced that he has already put on 2kg over the last couple of weeks - blaming the socialising and eating that happen prior to the Christmas Season.
Tis the season to be Jiggly...........
Willunga is a great place they have a great farmers market on the weekend
