I had to bump this back
to the front again on account of a recent meal that I had there. If
you've been reading these posts, then you know I've been visiting the
Hotel Gosford at least once a month to participate in the pub trivia.
February has been our best month, with an equal second place that
netted us a $30 drink voucher, which was duly consumed at the next
event that we attended in March. Last Tuesday, well it was an acronym
heavy night which affected our score, though I did win a $10 drink
voucher in one of the in-between round games, correctly identifying
Shaun Micallef in a picture question.
I arrived at to the venue around 5.30pm, having taken the #55 bus from my stop on Ocean Beach Road on the peninsula and getting off across the street from the pub, which is very convenient. Seeing I was in a rather good mood, I opted for the Chicken Parmigiana that night (a $4 upgrade from the schnitzel) and grabbed a drink from the bar. I had no sooner finished checking my e-mail when my meal arrived.
Unfortunately the
picture from my mobile phone doesn't do it justice, so I'll be
upgrading that first chance I get. (A wonderful error with the device that only allows me to take pictures as screenshots...) It was far better than the
schnitzel I had at the same venue back in Nov 2 last year and I'd go
as far as saying that it's the best schnitzel related dish I've had
since I started doing this blog, bumping the meal that I had at the
Kincumber Pub way back on May 12 2023 to second place. I may revisit
that place and another at Erina Fair that I haven't been to in years,
just to see if their parma's have improved. After all they do have
the right of reply. Lol
One of my trivia team-mates decided to have a parma as well, opting not to include a salad with the meal. Personally, I'll take the option to get some veges into my system seeing I don't generally buy much for home due to the price and that I really don't eat them quick enough, so they usually go to waste. Dining out, well that's a different matter. On this occasion, the schnitzel was resting on the chips and covered with smoked ham and melted cheese which was absolutely scrumptious. $42 all up (including the drink) may seem a bit expensive, but it's a quality meal and I may well have another one next time I'm there.
Hopefully we'll do a bit better in our May trivia appearance. Cheers!
