I didn’t realise I was part of the royal family until I was served this last Friday night, it was a feast fit for a king. The Mornington inn, or affectionately known as the Blood Valley, has come a long way in the last few years since the new owners took over. It’s no surprise as they are the same people that own the Shamrock in town. The Monster size ‘Break The Fast’ parmi which consisted of 2 proper sized parmis, topped with eggs, hash browns, bacon, cheese and of course, hollandaise sauce. It’s essentially having eggs Benedict on a chicken parmi. Now I know what you’re thinking, where the hell are the bloody chips? Under the parmis unfortunately, but I’ll let this slide, because there isn’t anymore space on the plate. Don’t let the Price tag scare you, this was worth every cent, the parmis and everything on them were delicious and well cooked, the chips were perfectly salted and fluffy inside, and the mushroom gravy was the perfect, thick consistency, none of this runny broth that so many pubs are serving these days. Did I finish the whole thing? No. Did I take the rest home and have it for brunch the next day? Maybe. Will I return? Yes.

The parmi was superb, not super big but plenty of chips and salad to make up for it. Chips were generously dusted with chicken salt and the salad was phenomenal. Paired with a Carlton dry

Good parmi. Maybe left under the grill a tad too long but overall very good. Salad with pickles was fantastic as were the chips.

$13.50. Granada. Sports bar. Actual parmi tasted like a big chicken nugget with jar sauce but depsite this I really enjoyed. chips and gravy fucking banging. $13.50. Much better than last time I was at Granada. Really can’t ask for any more.

Average parmi Had bacon instead of ham, meh. Paired with a cascade lager

Yeah not good
