Good to hear there's some of that going on there! We're not too bad in a lot
of areas over here, can get some really fine brews in some quite high-end
places. However, I prefer the more down to earth, local produce and food
style places - can find some *really* excellent food treats which are much
better value, as well as a relatively huge selection of good brews.

Here ya go - this has gotta be one of my favourite *very* local places to
eat, a part of the small Northcote group:

The food is definitely stunning, even the simplest of it.

Virtually everything food wise is sourced locally, *very* locally:

Anyone in the group lives near enough to this place, or ever passes close -
you should def. pay a visit!

I don't care that they call that place a 'pub' - they serve better food than
I have had in upmarket places for 5 times the money. I suppose partly
because you just aren't paying for pomp and pretentiousness.

And they got the beer! Heheheh...
