We were on a very tight schedule as we only had one hour to eat and be back on the bus to go to the penguin March. When we wanted to order another round of drinks and told him we couldn't wait 5 to 10 minutes they told us don't worry about it. We'll take a look with the order comes in and prioritize you guys. They got the drinks to us within minutes. I had the fish and chips and it was excellent. Laurie had the Sri Lankan chicken curry and it was phenomenal. Very spicy very perfect. Very good fine. The Prosecco was excellent, and the sewing blonde by the glass was delicious.

This quaint little pub has a great open air feeling and with some fabulous views. This is a sit anywhere type place. We managed to find a seat right at the windows and decided to grab a pizza. Tracking down a server was a bit of a challenge, but instead I just went directly to the bar and ordered, Easy-peasy. The pizza was out shortly and was fresh and hot. Beer was cold, pizza was great and the views were fantastic. Overall, great spot, good food and cold beer. Atmosphere was chill and some good tunes playing. Servers were in a bit of short supply, but when we did get one they were super friendly. Great spot to have a drink and enjoy the views.

Ordering the pulled pork, the bun seemed at least a day old and we'll just didn't really do much other than just be a pulled pork with a slaw. We also ordered pizzas with gluten option and it wasn't terrible though I would hope they did more to make things interesting. The cups that came with the water where scuffed and plastic whilst the tables where sticky and unfortunately because they are so close to the beach seagulls cannot be avoided outside. The staff where fine. I would hope they realise the potential they have and really step it up.

There is a decent selection of beers and a tasty cider on tap. Though I'm not sure if you really need three Ales on tap. Generally speaking there was an extensive bar here to tempt you with. I didn't have to pay for my drinks as the entire place was shut for an uber relaxed engagement party, so not sure about prices. Which leads me onto my next concern- cranky staff :( As a first time visitor, and declared newbie, I had no idea what was on tap. What was brewed on site? Could I buy some to take home?? I still don't know and the bar staff had no interest in educating us at all. The interior areas were open and spacious with a bar area and upper class style restaurant area. Whilst not in the main drag of Cowed the Rusty Waters Brewery has a lot to offer. A great spot to grab some unique Victorian beer and some great ciders before heading into town. The Bride also mentioned that the kitchen whips out some fantastic food. No doubt next time we drive on by, we will stop in for a drink or two.

It was like being in heaven, every mouth full was full of favour, we had the prawns, the batter its self had so much flavor then the sauce drizzle had a slight kick, you just wanted to go back for more. The mains even better, highly recommend ordering the kangaroo nothing compare to how well it was cooked and all the flavour, the seafood marianna was just love no need for salt or pepper the calamari was cooked so well not chewy just melted in the mouth. I will repeat eat here you will never regret it. I promise you

I'll start with the good and then get into the bad…read more I like the decor of The Pig & Whistle. Inside has a bunch of beer steins, and alcohol memorabilia, fun posters and pictures in frames, it's all fun to look at and take in. The outdoor area is nice too, plenty of picnic type tables to help enjoy the good weather. And there is what looked like a mini garden, that's nice too. On the other side of things, when you order a starter and it's brought to you, sometimes it's nice to have plates to eat on too. The calamari was not tasty and was a rubbery texture, it came with a matching portion of french fries/chips and a small salad. The best thing about that plate was the aioli dipping sauce. The veggie stir fry was dripping in sauce and was far too spicy for my liking. It wasn't an even plate, with the over-sized vegetables and the skinny rice noodles in a pool of spicy sauce. And the prices for what you're getting, that didn't please me either. I'm sorry for the negative, but it was solely based on just the look and feel of the place, for sure it'd be a five star from me.

I have been in for drinks on several cold and windy days (which are numerous up there) and have always longed to enjoy all the space they have outdoors.

Even though the menu has nothing marked as GF and DF, the staff were incredibly helpful and managed to make her kid-sized brekky and chocolate (almond) 'milk' shake and made me a delicious variation on their huevos benedictos (substituting smoked chipotle Tabasco for the chipotle hollandaise). The soy milk was gluten-free too so I wasn't forced to have an almond-milk coffee either. Hurrah! So nice to have food i didn't cook and still have it be interesting and with flavour while traveling!
