The beer
To begin with I ordered their newest beer, the Bunbury Blonde ($7 for a regular). I didn’t enjoy it very much as it lacked the smoothness and easy drinking characteristics that are the most attractive features of the more commercial Blondes on the market. They did however have quite a few other beers on offer that may be worth exploring in the future.
The food
There were two vegetarian non-salad options available: eggplant pizza or roasted vegetable filo. I opted for the filo only to be told they didn’t have any made up. A disappointing start to the evening but the p
izza ($21) sounded nice enough. Unfortunately, it too was disappointing. It’s not that the pizza was bad, it was just boring. The sauce was plain and personally I thought that the choice of using Danish feta instead of a chewier textured feta was a poor decision. I love the simplicity of Little Creature’s pizzas served with great beer, but the Mash’s eggplant pizza managed to be too simple. In contrast, Mash was more like my Father’s home brew served with my own homemade pizza. Not bad, but not something you want to pay much money for, and definitely not worth $4 more than the Little Creatures pizza I last had.
Atmosphere/Service
The location, on the Marlston waterfront, makes Mash one of the most beautiful places in Bunbury to dine. The design and layout of the restaurant with lots of open space, large communal tables and long windows to view the surroundings was perfect. The service was also flawless. With such competent staff and the great location, it made it even more disappointing that the food was so forgettable and the beer not to my taste.
Food 5/10
