Vernon Arms Tavern

Love this pub! Great to watch a nice Perth sunset whilst drinking one of their many brewed on site beers, which in itself is enough of a reason to check it out. But tried the ‘smokers platter for two’ last night. And WOW!! Absolute perfection on a plate. Amazing. Will make this my regular from now on.

I had been here a few years ago for a family lunch to celebrate a birthday and had no complaints at all. Food and service was great. Went there on 18th April for another birthday lunch and had the total opposite experience. Booked a table for 1pm. Our table wasn't prepared so we were all sat on stools at a big table next to the bar. We ordered drinks and looked at our menus. When we went to order our meals the girl at the bar informs us that the chef has told them not to take any more food orders for another 30 minutes, and that there would be an hour and a half wait on food after ordering. That would mean we might get our lunch by 3pm!! We finished our drinks and left. Customers expect to get good service. It isn't our fault you don't have a big enough kitchen or enough staff to service the tavern and the brewery beer garden! I won't bother going back there again unless I hear from somebody else that they have lifted their game. Word of mouth can lose or gain a lot of business.... just saying....

It's a nice location with nice drinks. Paid $26for a sort of Mexican taco meal, +$6 for extra beef. What arrived was a small salad with 2 (yes only 2) corn chips and 2 teaspoons of beef. The meal tasted ok, but would barely have been an entree size, not to mention a full size meal. Not impressed with the serving size. Won't be back.

Nice looking venue but that's the nicest thing I can say.... 2 steaks that were meant to be medium and on the bone came over well done and were a little sandwich steak with no bone in sight and the burger was raw and cold..... after complaining they were happy to refund the burger but the chef said he wouldn't refund or replace the steaks as to him they were fine. Eventually they were refunded but I would not recommend going there

Good food
