Tenterden Top-Up

The owners are very rude. They have unwelcoming signs around the perimeter warning about the ramifications of anti social behaviour. Based on my experience, I can see that they would provoke such behaviour. Food is average and overpriced. Don't even think about stopping here. One star is too generous. The next roadhouse a short distance away is much friendlier.

WOw,the meal was amazing the service unbeatable,for such a country area we were served like royalty,we wished we had stopped there on the way to Albany,instead of just the way home,they have hand made craft,a booklet about the area that makes you feel like a local,and the Lady that owns the business was so happy to share her knowledge of this beautiful area.

After driving by here many times, I decided that today would be the day I finally stopped in and checked the place out. This fuel station and restaurant is located about 30km west of Mt Barker, and has been an established fixture here for many years, but has recently had a complete makeover. I chatted to the new owners, who took the place over about a year ago, and have invested a lot into completely re-doing the kitchen. The menu had a good range of breakfast and lunch options (I'll post photos of the menu), including many lactose and gluten free options. Seating is available indoors and outdoors. The owners told me that they plan to add pancakes to the menu shortly - yum!

This restaurant is a lovely little spot off the highway with convenient parking and speedy, welcoming service. The walls are decorated with beautiful artwork and there is a nice attention to detail in the surrounding area. Enjoy some leisurely time here with a stunning sunset view while you dine.

We stopped on our long journey from Albany back to Perth after receiving a free coffee for the driver. What a pleasant surprise! We weren't very hungry, but decided to order some chips. They were the best I've had in a long time. While we waited for the chips, my partner ordered a steak sandwich with a choice of different sauces. As we waited for the sandwich, we were offered some local newspapers to read. When my partner's coffee arrived, he was asked if it was to his liking (and his preference for strength was noted). After our long journey, it was a warm and welcoming gesture! The coffee even came with a cookie on the side.
