Our party of 9 recently had dinner here for my friend's 60th birthday. Gorgeous interior and very cosy in Winter with an open fire and logs stacked around giving it a very homely atmosphere. An extensive menu to choose from and the serves were huge! I had a 'small' battered flake with chips and salad and couldn't finish it. My son who can usually eat a fair bit had the large serve and couldn't finish his either. Two of our party had steak (one with mushroom sauce, the other with pepper sauce) and they were huge too (and, by all accounts, delicious), the other meals at our table were the scallops, chips and salad, basil pesto penne, pizza, a pork dish and one child's meal - everyone was very happy with their selections and nobody could fit dessert in. Very reasonably priced for the quality and size of the meals. All the staff were super friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place and will definitely go back.So fantastic to read Sylvia - I am sorry no-one could fit dessert though!We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to place such a detailed review - so thank you. We look forward to seeing you back soon.

We went for a celebration dinner and were not disappointed. The service was exceptional, professional and very friendly. Staff were attentive, including the manager who adjusted the blinds and air conditioner as needed. It is a beautiful spot and we had a table beside the window. Mains were $30 and desserts $14. Worth every cent. One of the best steaks I've had anywhere. Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The dukka crumbed local camembert was outstanding. We will certainly be back. A thoroughly enjoyable night and meal.

What it lacked in customer service it made up for in food!! Waited a ridiculously long time to be served as the waitresses were too busy talking and gossiping between themselves. Finally was served and from then on it was incredible, good atmosphere and amazing food. Didnât like the fact the toilet opened straight out into the cafe (I feel like this is against building code)

Nice setting for a restaurant, service is good and food is okay, but been the same menu for a long time even though ownership changed, would be nice to see some new interesting choices.

As locals we have given this place many tries hoping for another decent food option in Penguin. Asian food was ok at first before going further downhill with every visit, either very bland or just plain strange flavours, small portions, below average sides and sauces. It seemed like the chef just didn't care as it had been better initially and consistently got worse. We have eaten at most places across the NW Coast and Wokking Wombat just did not stack up as being either good food or value for money in terms of Asian cuisine. Desperately hoping for another place in town besides El Perro to have a meal we decided to give it ago here again tonight, we thought if we stick to the pub classics it would be atleast ok- unfortunately not. $26 Chicken schitzel average at best, much smaller than other pubs around for same price or less, very few average chips and handful of mesclun mix with no dressing- the absolute topper was that the mushroom sauce was offensively bad, not only average but bad- left a bad aftertaste, seems like it had sweet soy sauce in it. Having eaten the same dish at pretty much every pub between Port Sorell and Burnie this was hands down the worst I've had. My partner's Garlic prawns were just as bad; absolutely no flavour, no garnish, no care, reminded me of something they would serve in a nursing home. Feel sorry for the wait staff having to serve this slop, they at least tried. Don't bother coming here, the chef has either given up or is completely incompetent- very dissapointing for Penguin as food is fine at Cafe RA and Argosy operated by the same group. I noticed the replies to these messages often say 'we normally get great feedback on our food', as someone who has been here many times now and speaks with a lot of locals I can assure you that is not the case from what I have seen, so many people I know refuse to go back, and having been burnt again tonight we are now in that camp. Please get a new chef, we want to come, but can't keep wasting money on crap food.We are always unhappy to hear any of our customers are unhappy. Our staff always check if our patrons have enjoyed their meals and very rarely get any feedback like you have posted. We would love to discuss with you personally so we can try to resolve. Should you be willing to do so please send us contact details and we will get our Food Services Manager to get in touch. You can contact us direct at the Neptune on [email protected] or if you prefer at Head Office on [email protected]. We hope to hear from you

Set in an idyllic location with views over the new cider orchard and dial ranges in the background. Sit inside at the large tables or on the veranda next to the wonderful cottage garden.Fantastic menu that changes with each visiting chef. Pork ribs are fantastic but you can't go past the tasting plate for value and range of food. Food is divine and well worth the windy road trip up the valley from picturesque Penguin.The staff are fantastic and happy to share their tales of travels and life on the farm. Don't forget to ask for a tour of the farm to see the piglets.

We were passing through and had takeaway coffees at this cafe. They were of excellent quality. Well done to the barista. I would recommend anyone who knows what a good coffee should taste like stops here to taste this brew.
