As our accommodation had a good BBQ facility we decided that we would find a butchery & buy some meat for dinner. The nearest place was Branxton so we called in on our Wednesday morning Hunter Valley tour complete with cooler bag to buy some meat and salads & then continue on for the rest of our tour while we were waiting for the boys to finish their game at the Vintage. I was very impressed with the magnificent red bottle brush that was growing everywhere in the Hunter Valley. Branxton had rows of them in the main street & it really does look good when in full bloom.
We checked out the bistro at the Royal Federal Hotel - the "Swill & Grill". It was a very old fashioned hotel and on Thursday night they were having a $10 'snitchel' night so we booked in for dinner the following night.
The dinner at the pub turned out to be better quality than expected - again the hotel had a 'reserved table' for us & the service was good. For $20 per couple it was a good deal.
