We establish ourselves inwards South Yarra on Sabbatum in addition to took the chance to revisit The Sweetwater Inn. We got at that topographic point pretty early on in addition to establish things pumping along - the outdoor surface area was full, the bar loaded in addition to every spare tabular array was reserved. Luckily, they could offering us a corner topographic point provided nosotros could consume in addition to deed on inwards a twain of hours. We were in.
The bill of fare has changed since our concluding see - the pie floater is sadly departed, every bit is the ham steak. The BBQ prawns remain, every bit create the fish in addition to chips in addition to the rissole sandwich, amongst the 2 novel dishes that nosotros sampled. First upwards the smoked BBQ chicken, char-grilled in addition to basted with a BBQ glaze ($18). The chicken was really like to the mock-meat that the Cornish Arms base of operations their parmas around, but the glaze kicked things upwards a notch in addition to the tangy bbq sauce was smoky in addition to delicious. Each primary comes with 2 sides (choose from chips, coleslaw, Irish Gaelic patato salad in addition to garden salad) - nosotros both loved the loving cup o' chips, which were perfectly crispy.
Our minute primary was the pulled mushroom blend lamb roll, a shredded mock lamb coated inwards a pasty BBQ beetroot sauce with coleslaw on soft damper bun ($15 - there's a double version for $20 too).
This reminded me of the lamb that Madame K purpose inwards their massman curry - it's quite a meaty rendition, with the stringiness of the 'pulled' version adding slightly off-putting realism. It was pretty great, although it's a fleck much to endure paying $15 for a smallish mock-meat roll.
The Sweetwater Inn create the Americana/Australiana combo pretty good - there's loads of hot sauce varieties, lots of kitschy decorations (including stuffed birds in addition to bull horns, which mightiness position around people off) in addition to a bill of fare amount of classic mock-meat based dishes. The staff are lovely in addition to the make of booze impressive (their ain Sweetwater Lager is a pretty decent beer option), but it's busy, noisy in addition to a fleck on the pricey side. We're Sweetwater enthusiasts, but with the Cornish Arms much to a greater extent than conveniently located we'll likely stick to our electrical flow schedule of a twain of visits a year.
