Cafe Clipper & Bar — Restaurant in Rockingham

Posting on behalf of CWA member.

I would like to vent a very disappointing lunch the ladies from the CWA had on the Tuesday of this week. At the clipper inn. Our lunch was to be a traditional Christmas followed by plum pudding. 🤷🏽‍♀️ i dont know why the turkey was on top of the ham. Chats were boiled ,hard and cold. Beens were raw along with old cold broccoli . The meats to me were very nice and some of the other ladies agreed, but why stacked together. Now you have to remember these ladies are from a time when everything was home made . They have been though wars and also hardships. . The plum pudding was , light fruit cake ( from a store )and runny custard . And for all $48. I heard one lady say on the market day , she could attend the Christmas lunch because she had some sales on market day. I just want people to to know how bad it was . I personally have been for breakfast and it was fabulous. The older ladies had been there for cake and coffee . Thats why it was the chosen venue for the CWA ...

We had a scoupon voucher. When we pulled up, we wondered what we’d got ourselves into. Since we were early we drove up the rd & read the reviews. They all sounded good. Upon arrival we were met by friendly non judgemental staff (unusual when it comes to scoupon vouchers) who delivered a value for money meal. In fact this was the best value for money we’ve ever had from scoupon. We got 6 alcoholic drinks & a platter for two for $55. Ive has scoupon platters a few times & they haven’t been as filling as this one. Even the prices on the menu seemed very reasonable & as we were walking in, we saw another couple around our age (mid 40’s) walking out & heard them saying how much they enjoyed their meal. I’m giving 5 stars out of 5 for value, friendliness, speed of service & quality of food. I’ve eaten at high end places & obviously this isn’t one of those but it’s not $90/head either. I’ll happily return to...

Four of us visited the Cafe Clipper for the Seafood Stack Special. As we entered, we could sense the homely atmosphere of the place.

The decor was minimal, sober and quite pleasing to the eyes. As one of us did not eat seafood, manager Dean agreed to provide meat items for this one person. Both the seafood and meat selections were very tasty and plentiful. All of us were quite satisfied with the serves and the taste. A complimentary glass of champagne was provided before the meal.

Hostess Jody and her colleagues looked after our table very well. Dessert too was very flavourful.

Restrooms were very clean and hygenically maintained. All in all, we had a good evening at Cafe Clipper and will...
