Powell Hotel — Restaurant in Melbourne

Let me tell you a story. Imagine getting home at 530 on Tuesday, after a full 10 hours work, thinking about cooking yourself some tea. Housemate calls, 'yo what's up, not sure your plans, cheap parma's just down the road'. My eyes light up, my heartbeat quickens, a parma on the horizon, and only 6 bucks, the gods have given me this gift.

10 minutes and a $7.50 uber later I walk in, already aware that I need to give up my details to become a member to be elligible for cheap parma deals. I reluctantly give my email and mailing address to a random pub in Footscray. 'Worth it for a $6 parma' I tell myself. We go to order, given a table, grab a pint of furphy, and wait. And wait. And wait. And wait again, a full 75 minutes.. for a parma.. on parma Tuesday.

Then, after all this time, a full sized parma lands on the table in front of me. I take a bite, after 45 minutes of passive aggressive complaining about the wait, hoping with all my heart that it is awful. The first bite was delicious. The parma was juicy and big, chips good as well. I finish the parma, and I must say, I have NEVER had a better parma in all my life and for only 6 bucks.

There's no longer a "Carer Concession" Rate. $19.95 for everyone! -which other patrons/staff present appeared to complain about: said is too much cash up front for Senior Citizens and Carers who are surviving on a limited fixed pension. If, it weren't for the Carers the Patrons wouldn't even be there: Morning Melodies, as i understand it, is supposed to be about a charitable value outting for Senior Citizens; show and Lunch; most venues have a decent Morning Tea spread, and valued artist tribute entertainers. Instead staff said it appeared: Powell Hotel, Footscray was taking a stingy profit approach. Not encouraging people to come back: Quote: One our resident said: "it's too bl**dy expensive, only one tiny winy scone cookie - it's BS, mate" (Disability...
