The Cockatoo is an unpretentious pub with counter sales, a pokies room, a bit of a balcony near the warm, cozy bistro and friendly staff – but it’s got us in one helluva flap. It's because we embarked on the epic journey that is one of their mighty schnitzels. There are endless variations churning out of the kitchen, from the standard (pepper sauce, parmigiana) to the exotic (marinara, supreme), all of which are the size of Bert Newton's human head. Those who have eaten an entire plate-spanning slab of breaded cutlet are spoken of in hushed tones, their immortal names forever etched in legend. If you’re looking for a gastronomic challenge, not to mention amazing value, make the White Cockatoo your next port of call. Pair it with cleansing ale for the ultimate Cockie experience.
