Two parmies and two pints for $24 on Thursdays and Saturdays was always going to be too great a temptation to resist. And my resistance came crashing down in delicious style. Schnitzel lovers, this is definitely one to try. The Havie schnitty rates up there with the best of them. It’s very thick, has a top-notch crumbing, and tastes amazing. You get a good serving of gravy, a healthy (I use the term loosely) serving of chips, and the salad is nothing to sneeze at.
Neither quantity nor quality has been denied, and the price-tag would catch the eye of any keen bargain-hunter. At that price, you’re effectively paying six bucks for a quality schnitty, delicious (and numerous) chips and a damn good salad on the side. The size of the schnitty (and the overall meal) is enough to satisfy the most ravenous of hungers, without leaving me feeling like I need to have a siesta. A happy medium if ever there was one.
The Havie is a decent pub as well – located on the eastern side of town, with good ambience both in the bar and the restaurant. A great place to eat, drink, watch some sport and catch up with mates. I’ll definitely be back.
The verdict: Hard to fault.
