Willie Smith's Organic Cider — Local services in Tasmania

If I could give zero stars, I would. We went to Willie Smiths last Friday 5th Oct for lunch. We ordered the chicken wings and the Cuban sandwich, as well as the cider tasting board. My husband asked for a coke and was told they only have house-made cola, which we happily ordered.

When the cola came out, it was clear. I asked the barlady whether it was the cola (not listed on the menu) or the Tasmanian lemonade (listed on the menu), as I've rarely seen a clear cola. She barely let me finish the question before she snapped, "that's the house made cola, it's all we have."

The chicken wings came out luke-warm at best- just warm enough to have been sitting out of the fridge for a long time, or cool enough to have been cooked long before we ordered it. We ate half of one each before leaving them for fear of getting sick

The slaw which came with the wings, the Cuban sandwich and three of the four ciders all had an overwhelming chemical taste, like fly spray. We barely had any, once again leaving them for fear of getting sick.

Great venue and the exceptional staff reminded me of Europe...as did the superb Jerusalem Artichoke Salad which I could see Ottolenghi himself giving two thumbs up. The only improvement I could humbly suggest would be to consign the uncomfortable metal chairs to the nearest scrap heap but after a few Wild Ciders you don't really notice so a rare five stars from me! Just make sure you make a booking during school holidays as every table was reserved and the restaurant...

The venue is certainly impressively presented. However, the main attraction for me, (The overly hyped Apple Pie), left me disappointed. The apples were slightly undercooked with too much crunch left in them for my liking. I prefer apple pie filling to be more caramelised and soft as in the classic French Tart Tatin. The service was also a little slow on a day when the staff outnumbered the customers. The coffee was good and I’d stop for another cappuccino if I was...
