Lunch at Watervale Hotel in Clare Valley

It's been a long time since we've got out of Adelaide. Bronwyn informed us that Walter and Kay were hosting an open gardens event at their Clare Valley property. Since we have multiple needs for a hire car over the next month, CJ has deemed it easier and less expensive to hire the vehicle on a monthly rate.

On the way to the open garden, on Kay's recommendation we lunch at the Watervale Hotel. 

A young couple has taken over and remodeled the dining room, hired a new chef and revamped the menu.

Our waitress is knowledgeable on the wine and food. She is a delight.

The food is magnificent. We begin with carpaccio, the house special fries, and kingfish starter.

For the main, we enjoyed delicious duck sliders and a very special serving of mashed potatoes.

Since it was a cold and threatening day, we had been seated inside. This is the advertised beer garden with a wood burning pizza oven.
