CFS is all over the state and people have been all over the state. So where are the best hot spots for food?
As mentioned in a serious topic (dont wanna clog it up) Tailem Bend chicken and chip shop is the best! Also for the best burger with the lot go to Lyndoch with Birdwood a close runner up. :-)
-
The Clarendon Bakery rocks (so does the Royal Oak Hotel just up the road), also the Port Elliot Bakery is always worth stopping at.
-
OK, the Wirrabarra Bakery which has just moved to the next town (can't remember which) makes incredible gourmet pies in a wood oven.
I reckon the chicken one had half a chook in it!
-
I'm with mattb, the Clrendon bakery is awesome, real cream in the buns :-D also the Salt Creek roadhouse (and that's Salt Creek south of Meningie, not one of the other three or four Salt Creeks around the place) does the biggest steak sangas i have seen. Half a cow and load her up with everything else you can think of!!
-
Speaking of real cream, Angaston Bakery Kitchener Buns are REAL! (unlike all other places that sell them, I swear some are made of plastic)
-
Little bakery in a side street of goolwa just off the main street, you would be hard pressed to find better stuff than there. Custard berliners are made with a mixture of custard and real cream ARGGGGGGG...... :lol:
-
Mmmmmmm - but theres nothing like a farmer union iced coffee and a Balfour's Custard Tart - allways good and always consistant no matter where you go in the state 8-)
Or for any time when the sun is past the yard arm - a cold Coopers
-
How mich did they pay you for that advertising :-P
Cant fault Farmers Union or Balfours.
-
Nil payment!
Think Coopers could though - I'm a walking bilboard that their products are good (although not sure they want to advertise a great beer gut :-D :-D :-D)
-
im quite fond of the full range of coopers beers... have to admit my favourite drink at the moment is tooheys extra dry, although sometimes it presents problems in communication at pubs when ya ask for a "teds" gets quite a few dull expressions from bar-maids
-
Thought you'd just ask for whatever shirt theyre wearing :-D

"Ill have a Teds thanks luv".. *SLAP* "I said Teds, not T*TS" *SLAP*
hahaha

Well I would have to agree the food at roadhouse at salt creek (region 3) yum there fish and chips are not bad. I came across a very bad bakery the other day at lameroo felt like giving them the money to take it back... Mobil in kingston se(region 5) best hamburger and chips this side of texas......
-
Keith and Bordertown both have a great bakery, same company.
-
Yep and they are just about to open one in Naracoorte so we will have to great bakery's to get a good feed.Now here is another good eating place when doing a cfs course I would have to say the food that is cooked by the members of the Naracoorte cfs is the best and its better than what you get at STC.......

Careful what you say thems are fighting words :lol: :-P
-
as far as food in the hills you can't go past 2 places, the bakery in balhannah(my pie actually had more meat than gravy!!) and the crafers chicken shop (good food AND you get a discount if you prove you're in the CFS!
Dont bag STC food, theres some tough units up there that'll put your lights out...or poison your food. hahaha
-
All this talk of food is making me hungry :D
-
haha. yeah.
-
The food at Brukunga , that is the only reason for doing a course LOL
-
yeah especially now the BA courses that run from 8am to 9-9:30pm on the saturdays
-
Yea I'd have no trouble living at Brukinga STC !
-
yeah, i'm still yet to go there. is it true that its one of the best training facilities in australia?
-
There new slogan should be "Where the filtered hell are you"
Yes it is definitely one of the best facilities in Australia.
Great range of training facilities/props/sites - with just about everything fire/rescue/emergency services could need and better still probally the most environmentally conscious facilities around. The only thing it misses is a rubble pile (there are heaps there just not for training he he)
Truly a sensational facility and the foods great too :-D :-D :-D
-
(good food AND you get a discount if you prove you're in the CFS!
Just grab a lighter flick it with a menacing look in your eyes and say "well lets see, I burn the papers then we wait for my pager to go off, muahaha" :evil:
-
Maybe it was because I had been on a kayak camp on the Murray for a week with not the best food, go the Trangia, but Mt Pleasent bakery had the best pasty I ever ate. Even had two. Need to go back there one day and get another one.
-
There new slogan should be "Where the filtered filtered are you"
Now this if funny - just wrote in the new Australian Ad campaign slogan - see above and the 'system' has filtered it!!!!
Not even the pommy government could stop it being used!
Either this is bureaucracy at its slowest (trying to catch up with the advertising world) or a highly inefficient filtering system that is also years behind :-D :-D :-D
Either way - great laugh for first thing in the morning!!!!!!!!!
-
yeah, what the hell!! hahahaha
-
as far as food in the hills you can't go past 2 places [...] and the crafers chicken shop (good food AND you get a discount if you prove you're in the CFS!
it seems to have closed down, was shut with a sign on the door last friday when I went there anywhere!
PS why the hell is "h-e-1-1" a banned word? are we all assumed to be yanks with their weird ideas of "bad" words?
-
Youll have to ask Firefrog bout the filters........ :-)
-
yeah loosen the noose, firefrog!
i don't think crafers chook shop is closed down, it looked pretty open the other day. it does have weird open times though. for some reason i think theres one weekday where its not open at all.
good chicken though, yeah we got some heavily discounted stuff for a first aid course at the station. i think we've gotten food there on the way back from a strike team as well.
P F, just wear a CFS shirt, theres enough lighter wielding psychos out there already!
-

Gawler Charcoal Chicken isnt open on Monday's. Wouldnt be much business on a Monday.
-
yeah but its always on the mondays when you get that cravin for some greasy chicken!
-

the sign on the window said it was for sale and it was all locked up but according to the opening times on the door it should have been open.
you don't need the t-shirt, I just ask for CFS discount and get it.
-
How much discount do you get?
-
it WAS 10-15% i think. however if what darius said is true then theres no more discounts for us :cry:
-
I travel to Bordertown to do a few jobs here and there and I don't think you can beat the bakery opposite the police station.
Great pies and pasties!!
One in main street of Penola is good too!
Regards, Mat

I went there again the other day and it was open again. The deal is that the place is up for sale and if not sold by the end of May will close for good, but until then is back open as normal.
-
CFS Should buy it :-P
-
imagine...
Region 1 chicken and chips. 50% off for all vollies.
the place would clean up big time.
and you even have a special menu!
"yeah, i'll have the pumper chicken roll, and a 14 size bag of chips"
"the 24 size is only a dollar more"
"na, i'm right. oh by the way, i'll have some hotpad chilli sauce too"
oh dear. :oops:
-
^^ Slow day??
lol
-
oh so embarassed. what was i on an hour ago???
-
Canteen food??
hehehehe...
-
^^ Nah the it was the red cordial, it still affects probie boy :-P
-
red creaming soda actually. I was bouncing off some walls!
-
Who needs that red bull rubbish when you've got that^^
-

latest news is the Crafers chicken shop will close at the end of May (pity).
-
yeah, I saw a closing down sale sign out the front the other day. How do you have a closing down sale at a chicken shop. Do you buy a yiros and get a free deep fryer or something?
-
:lol:
CFS should get free chicken and chips.
-
just to resurect an old topic: am spending a week in Pt Elliot early November, I see the bakery in Pt Elliot and Goolwa are both recommended here but what about a decent fish and chip shop? (thought I'd ask the locals)

Port Elliot Fish and Chip Shop in the main drag Dave :wink:
-
Ah so this is who I have to blame for reopening this thread and making me read through all these food and beer adverts in the middle of the night. Now I'm hungry and thirsty!!!
I say the best pasties are at Cafe on the Park in Penola (but I'm slightly biased because I do work there sometimes - but they are still the best) owned at the moment by another CFS member (Leanne - Comms)but unfortunately she has the place on the market. Bit hard to keep battling Leukaemia and running a cafe 7 days a week. Anyone want to buy a cafe???
-
SAFF at naracoorte have the best beef snitter burgers!
-
That would be because NUTTSY works there.......
Best salt and pepper squid PORT ELLIOT hotel the one next to train line,I have been looking for two yrs to find a place that does it better but not one place has come close...Mind you I hear the Mallala pub is good...
I had some great Mexican food the other night from a shop on Glen osmond road....
-
i have never really found that Mexican place very good if it is the same one as i am thinking it is.
-
Spuds roadhouse at Pimba best $15 steak snadwhich around. :evil:
-
Breakfast Pizza from Williamstown Bakery
-
Tradies pie from your local BP

-
Sorry forgot the Jonnie Walker can as a washdown.

-
For those that love Yiros, and its cheaper than the shop is......go to Specialty Foods at West Thebarton Rd,and they have YIROS KITS which has 1kg of meat, lamb or chicken a bottle of garlic sauce and 10 pitta bread for $20 BUCKS
Tastes sensational just add tomato,lettuce and onion
