It's a long way to travel, but if you like a Sunday drive or are in the area it's an excellent place to stop for a drink, wood fired pizza, meal, or visit to the on site bakery. A look through the history of the Bark mill might also be of interest.
We actually called in for a drink, which turned into.... um..oh I'm not sure and decided to book in for dinner and stay the night. So glad we did too because we really did have fun!
Drinks, hot and cold always available, wine list good, selection of beers good ,cocktails woo hoo yes!
There are two wood heaters burning away nicely, outside there is gas heating for smokers or out door diners, in the warmer weather of course. This makes the atmosphere warm and cheery and if you get a seat at a table right next to the fire,like I did, you just don't want to leave, as I did.
Menu is really good, with Great Oyster Bay oysters available natural or kilpatrick $23 a dozen, just lovely with a glass of house Chardonnay. Soup of the day is always on, bruschetta and creamy garlic prawn hot pot also sound good on the entrees menu.
Mains has a good variety of seafood, steaks, salads and a delicious sounding chicken breast pocketed with pumpkin, feta and cashew nuts. I had the prawn and scallop basket with french fries and and lime and cracked pepper aioli. One thing i would say was the salad served with mains was really boring, undressed and consisted of lettuce leaf mix with a few slivers of carrot.
The wood fired pizzas were amazing with a good amount of topping. A good choice of varieties from tropical , vegetarian, seafood , meat lovers and some of there own creations such as the Bark mill special with olives, mushrooms, ham, salami and roasted capsicum. prices range from $15 to $20.
Desserts were as per daily specials boared, which also included whole flounder, children's menu available at $9.
The place was packed with diners and drinkers which showed it has a good following, I think its a really good place to relax and unwind and enjoy your time. I give it 4 out of 5 and recommend you pay them a visit, but you must book, people were being knocked back left right and centre.
