The Post Office Hotel

My partner and I had a meal at The Post Office Hotel a few nights ago. The décor of the pub looks great and first impressions are great and that the food would be a few levels above your regular pub styled cuisine. Sadly, this was not the case. I ordered the porterhouse which was horribly dry and flavourless, with the exception of the charcoaled outer shell of what was once called meat. The carrots were nice although a man cannot live on carrots alone. My partner ordered the pakora which, when served, had the appearance of deep fried emaciated sparrows. This notwithstanding, there did appear to be an ample supply of Buzz Alrdin space food inside the dead sparrow. A mushed up conglomerate of orange coloured vitamins to get you through the harsh environment that is The Post Office. In summary, the pub food is mediocre at best. The staff and ambience were fine but this is definitely not enough to bring me back to Coburg. I think I would much rather dine at the now defunct Pentridge hotel rather than take my chances at this pub again. Rating 2.5 carrots out of 10 carrots.
