Woodchoppers Inn, Mudgeeraba

We came here a couple of weeks ago for dinner with a friend one Friday night.

It’s an old fashioned pub located in the village of Mudgeeraba. We had some drinks first in the bar which was quite nice - lots of wooden tables in a cosy atmosphere but there wasn’t much seating and the tables around the corner are in another room and don’t have much atmosphere.

We went into the dining room at a table near the windows. I was slightly shocked to see that almost all the meals were in the $27 plus range - quite expensive for a suburban pub meal.

I ordered the twice cooked duck and my partner ordered oysters with crab meat topping and our friend ordered the lamb shanks. The lamb shanks could have been a lot more tender as the meat did not fall off the bone, the twice cooked duck also should have been crispier - the skin was still quite fatty and was not crisp like I’ve had at most other restaurants and I wasn’t a fan of the thinly sliced crisped vegetables. The interior of the restaurant is also looking a bit daggy and outdated but I guess other peoples view is that it has a country feel.

I will visit this pub again but I’ll probably just stick to catching up with friends for some drinks rather than dinner. Perhaps they should introduce some more mid range meal prices.
