Bought- Chicken Schnitzel with gravy. Cost $13 inc. gravy ($2 extra for parmy)
Size- 2.5
Size was about 20cm x 12cm. So not very large and the chicken had been heavily
tenderised and was only about 0.5-1cm thick. The crumbing was way too much,
making the schnitty look thicker than it actually was. Very deceiving...
Taste - 3.5
The gravy aided to majority of the taste as it was real gravy made with the fat
of a roast. However, according to my colleagues, the chicken was actually quite
dry. But taste was better than I thought. My colleague had the parmy. Noted it
was left under the grill to long and had dried out a bit too much, and taste
was average. They gave it 2.5/5.
Sides -3.5
Simple salad with hollandaise or french dressing. Small but ok.
Chips - didn't come pre-salted. But tasted Ok, similar style to KFC chips.
Portion was a tad small.
Value - 3
at a cost of $13, size of schnitty was proportional to the cost. However, the
hospital cafe also makes a schnitty of only slightly less quality, but same
size for $8.90. At a cost of $15 for a parmy, value would be a 2/5
Experience - 2
We were in the front bar, next to a busy main road. So noisy. Sort of felt like
we were in a country bogan bar. However, you can also get served in the dinning
section, which I'm sure would have been much better. Also, a bogan burped
really loudly next to us.

The Verdict: You heard the doc… give it a miss. Hospital one sounds like good value though…
