What Arabia fox doesn't like about Room For a Pony:
Came in for drinks for a special evening with friends, to be greeted SO warmly by the guy with the beard and long ish hair, and possibly glasses. Who had no problem making snarky comments about us ordering cocktails. Not like anyone’s getting paid to make them or anything. As we are all hospo workers too we were disgusted with his behaviour. Probably working in the wrong industry if a few cocktails are gonna stress y... View all feedback. What Gerard C likes about Room For a Pony:
Room for a Pony is a wonderful community meeting spot where locals, creatives, families can grab a coffee, break fast snack or dinner. There’s stacks of space inside an d out. Personally I thought it was dumb to set up a cafe in an old servo. In truth it was genius. The staff are friendly and helpful, the menu great (we love the soups) and a nice selection of beers and vino for later in the day. View all feedback.

Meals were tasty. But soup was an extremely small serving. For over $16 I would expect a full serve. The serving bowl was small too.
