Parkes Services Club — Restaurant in Parkes

What a sorry disappointment the food was here. Family visited from 10 hours away, so we went here for my daughters 1st birthday for lunch. Cost 170 for 6 people. (6 mains) and 1 entree. Not including the drinks. The bruschetta looked sad and lifeless, was tasteless and bland. The prawn pasta was overly cheesy, too strong flavoured. Loaded fries were with fake cheese, and I thought were gross. The wings were spicy, not ideal if you don't like/ want spice. Chicken salad was enjoyed. The parmigiana, loaded was alright but just alright. Probably the best meal of the day and I personally didn't think much of it. The salt and pepper squid was an absolute rip off. Terrible taste, overcooked and full of chips. About 10 small pieces of battered squid and was completely disappointing. Especially for the price.

Do not go here for food! Especially if you're paying such exorbitant prices, it's an absolute rip off and insult.

The kids area was good, but not everything worked. The service was droopy with the staff seemingly moping around. No clear signage for baby rooms. No one to greet you upon entry.

The place is not what I remember it was a few years ago when visiting with fond memories.

We will never come back here, and I'd suggest people try elsewhere before...

When going out for lunch and dinner with two little children, I tend to try to find family friendly venues, one with a kids menu and a play area for the kids. A bonus is a parent’s room, but I can settle for a clean and tidy baby change table.

If you’re stopping in Parkes for lunch or dinner with kids, I recommend stopping here. Not only can you get yourself a beautiful meal, but also a lovely meal for the kids. Whilst waiting for your meal the kids can have a play in the Kids area, and it’s one that isn’t exposed to the elements and is separated from the dining room. There are large glass windows where you can watch your children from a table just outside.

A kids meal also includes an ice-cream voucher which you can redeem at the Bistro, which is a fan favourite for our 3 year old.

Parkes Services Club has been upgrading facilities over the last few years, and the club always looks lovely and clean.

I was visiting friends locally and we decided to lunch here after a Sunday morning recital. What a great club! It wasn't very busy although we were there just before 12noon. We ordered and in about 20 minutes the food came. There were 2 roast pumpkin salads ordered, one without dressing which made it a gluten free meal. It was fantastic! Pumpkin, pine nuts, spinach, feta cheese, just delicious! Another had a chicken schnitzel with pepper sauce which she raved about. The kids had chicken nuggets and chips and the other had fish tails and chips. Both of them cleared their plates too. We weren't drinking or gambling, so can't comment on those areas, but the food was great and the wash rooms large and clean. Highly...
