Kiama Produce Markets (with Kiama Council)

Another great weekend and sold out all the Bokashi Buckets from Kiama Council. Stayed at The Sebel Harbourside. Nice central spot and good rooms. Loved the markets

Where to get a pub lunch: Balmain

Quiet business or social lunch in Balmain, mid to late working week?

Previously I have been known to have lunch as much as 4 times in one week at the same place [Monkey Bar]. Yesterday we drove up and down Darling Street and agreed on The Town Hall Hotel. As we entered, great bar service downstairs (draught cidre), then upstairs to the diningroom/balcony seating.

Good: Gotta say, The meal came in goodtime. I had chargril beef rumpsteak with frenchies or salad and pepper sauce. My partner had steak sandwich with the same options.
(Incidently, Rump or Chook Schnitzel Special $12.xx) I was glad to see the pepper sauce was fine in consistency and plenty-awash with palatable green peppercorns.

Bad. I know this is essentially a pub bistro, but guys, put some condiments out at the cutlery station so I don't have to ask you for sauce for my "pommes frites"

The balcony was nicely sheltered from the sun at 2.00pm with a soothing breeze coming up off the inner harbour. I'll be coming back next week to enjoy another lunch.
