The Glenmore isn’t one of my favourite places in Sydney. In fact it doesn’t even rank as a place I’d choose to go to of my own volition, but the view from the rooftop is undeniably one of the best pub views in Sydney. Plaintive pleas of “well it might rain, perhaps we should pick another location?” had fallen on the proverbial, and so off I went on this overcast day down to The Rocks.
Meeting at noon, everyone else seemed content to drink and chat, but not eat. I started getting restless and inevitably, was the first to go and order. One’s order is identified by one’s “Pole Number”, in our case, 30. Said “pole” is attached to the umbrella and the table.
I went for the Steak Sandwich, listed as $16.50 but in reality $17 because of the Sunday surcharge.
Described as “Char grilled Sirloin with onion, beetroot, rocket, tomato, aged Cheddar & BBQ sauce on toasted sourdough bread with crinkle cut fries”, it was relatively decent pub fare, though they were a tad stingy on the chips.
Other items ordered :
Salt & Pepper Squid ($15.50)
which did not rate highly in either the taste or quantity stakes.
Roast of the day (Pork) with vegetables
which disappointed the three people who ordered this dish because of the lack of crackling and the texture of the skin.
Bangers & Mash ($15.50)
For some reason no-one seemed satisfied stomach wise with their food and fuelled by alcohol and increasingly ridiculous conversation.....
......there were then “rounds” of Sunday surchargeless chips ordered to accompany each new bottle of wine....at the time I left we were onto round 4 of the chips (and asking for gravy instead of tomato sauce). Here are rounds 1 and 2 –
