    AWESOME DINING EXPERIENCE TO CAP OFF A WONDERFUL DAY! Upon our arrival at Killik Handcrafted Rum, much to our surprise and delight, we were shown to a private dining room. The room was beautifully decorated, cosy and had a roaring wood heater. The servers were very attentive and helped us to select wonderful cocktails. Shake That Toasty Nut: House-made Toasted Coconut Rum · Fresh Pineapple Juice · Toasted Coconut Cream · Salt · Toasted Marshmallows Jam Donut Ramos: Killik Gold Rum · House-made Donut Liqueur · Fresh Lemon Juice · Cream · Cinnamon Syrup · Sugar Syrup · Coconut Water · Albumin Powder And for the DD's lemon, lime & bitters made with house-made traditional lemonade which had the perfect amount of sourness and was very refreshing. Our meals were all delicious - House-Made Spaghetti Carbonara with pork belly, House-Made Gnocchi with Braised Lamb Shoulder Ragu and House-Made Prawn & Chilli Linguine. Portion sizes were just right to leave enough room to indulge in the decadent Sticky Date Pudding with Butterscotch Rum Caramel Sauce & Wattleseed Ice Cream. As we were in a private room the noise level was not an issue for us. Can't say if it would have been in the more open dining spaces. We thought it was very good value.

    Really good old fashioned pub. The service was friendly and quick and the food was classic old school pub fare. Roast lamb for me and rissoles and mash for my companion. Didn’t love the desserts but they have a great ice-cream bar.
