Its good but there's space for improvement. - Most of the food was a bit salty (most of the antipasto) - I understand the duck was hard to cook, the staff they were really nice and responsible, they made the duck twice, but it is still a bit over cooked, and they could leave the sauce on the table for us to adjust the flavour ourselves, cause the flavour of the duck was a bit plain, needed more sauce. - The value for food was great, I was very full.

This is the second year we have chosen to watch the Grand Final at the Dick Whittington Tavern. We loved it last year and so enjoying it again today. We live in Richmond and the local pubs we love today are of course very crowded and noisy and hard to get a beer etc. We are having a great day here with fabulous staff and would throughly recommend it to any people wanting to celebrate with friends at a great local pub with a tram stop virtually at the front door. Could not recommend enough 😄

The food there was amazing, we got the grilled bread and a crab/prawn croquet for entree and I could not recommend the grilled bread more so delicious, as a side the miso cauliflower is unbelievable and the home made chips are some of the best 100% would recommend to anyone
