I love me some country pub. A place with utes out the front…read moreand a kitchen full of schnitties. With locals propping up the bar and the footy on TV, at any time of day or night. This is my first time in Parkes and the 4hr drive took us 7 because of fog and traffic and accidents, and we were hungry fed up and car weary by the time we crawled into town at 9pm. Straight to the Raily, where the World's Biggest Chicken Parmy awaited me, I chose Spanish flavour with pepperoni and feta and olives and this thing is about the size and weight of a brick, when it landed in front of me I was so happy I could have screamed, but my mouth got real busy all of a sudden. Beers are five bucks or thereabouts, there's a diverse Friday night crowd of farmers and yokels and young pretty girls getting some pre-game in before hitting the town's only nightclub, it's a veritable cavalcade of people watching. Pub lyf yo.

Tried this place after reading Benjamin B's review about the 'Chicken parmeys as big as a brick'…read moreand he certainly wasn't kidding! The railway hotel was on the edge of town and of course on the railway line. It's a smallish pub but is certainly more modern and edgy than any of the other pubs in town. The staff are all young, theres funky artwork on the walls, drink coasters are all artwork, schooner glasses sponsored by local businesses, and there is something different on every night. But that aside - I came to try the parmie and it didn't disappoint! I ended up coming here twice during the week I was in Parkes. Once to try the Spanish parmey and once for the Mexican parmey. Both were massive and loaded with toppings. They're all around the $17 mark which includes your choice of any 2 sides. The sides were fries, mash, veggies, salad and some others I can't recall. The chicken parmeys are definitely the highlight of this place. $5 schooners aren't bad either! If you're in Parkes heading out to see 'The Dish' is one of those must do things. I reckon a parmey at the Railway Hotel should be second on that list!

I enjoyed fettuccini Siciliana, with loads of chorizo, olives, anchovies and cheese. Others had crispy skin salmon, lamb risotto and a pizza. All were satisfied. Food could use less salt though.

Tucked into the rear beer garden of a pub I had some of the best duck curry and soft shell crab I've ever had. The menus are scattered throughout the pub and orders are taken at the bar. Like most country pubs the beers were served up by tourists on working visas and the two chirpy girls behind the counter on this night had recently arrived from Boston. We grabbed some beers and headed out for a drink in a traditional beer garden complete with fireplace heaters fashioned from a few old beer kegs welded together. After a while a little thai bloke appeared with a massive spread of the most delicious thai food I've had in a long time. Everything was reasonably priced, friendly surrounds, and great food!
