College Lawn - Table reservation

The Lawn was my local for a number of years up to 2006. It has always been a warm and ambient inner city pub and it was lovely to revisit a place I have so many fond memories of.

Dinner at College Lawn with my family was a disaster. It's close by so thought we would give them another try, after long wait for meals in the past.

Ordered two steak sandwiches and two fish and chips......waited almost 40 minutes, only four other tables occupied! Meals far too big portions for 2017 eating trends. Steak sandwiches cold and overfilled with 'lettuce mix'. Wait staff apologetic but uninterested in long wait for service....maybe a regular problem? Felt ripped off and unhappy. Definitely won't be back again.

We've lately been doing the pub rounds in Prahran area, and last Sunday came to College Lawn. We had a lovely lunch in the sun, and there's some nice beers

For those wanting to guarantee that rugby union is on the TV this is the place. Beyond that great pub with excellent selection of decent beers.
