The Booloominbah Collection - Armidale

Delicious breakfast, lovely ambience in the historic old mansion. Also great takeaway options and good coffee.

Stopped by for a coffee and lunch. Beautiful old house in serene gardens. Pleasant light and airy dining room. Frindly unobtrusive waitstaff. Limited lunch menu with enough variety. We enjoyed all our meals. Gluten free, vegan options available. Battered fish 'n' chips and Sweet potato and pecan salad.

Working business lunch in popular Bool location where parking is difficult. Staff attentive, coffee pleasant, generous servings of well presented delicious fare rated as 12/10. Wine list available.

Usually my stop for a morning coffee, I decided I'd treat myself to some lunch. I chose to takeaway, because I had a short lunch break and thought I could chow down at my desk. The waitress was very polite and helpful, as are most of the female staff there. The gentleman at the counter was a little prickly though, and often is in my past experience.It was a little busy and it took a little while to receive my food - about 15min. Still gave me enough time to get back to the office and eat.I'm going to be brutally honest - I expected more.I paid $19.50 for 3 chicken nuggets, some under dressed coleslaw and chips. The chicken itself was very chewy, though the seasoning was nice. The dipping sauce that came with the meal was nice with some fresh herbs in it. I really feel like I've wasted my money. I'm still hungry and my bank account is $20 lighter. Might just stick to the coffee in the future.

Table service is fine. Food to the table is slow. The menu is odd to say the least - perhaps trying to be inventive but alls short. Food quality is not good. Really should stick with a 'parmy and chips' as that is what they seem to serve up well.
