If you are visiting Phillip Island with the family, the multi award-winning Lone Pine Bistro at Phillip Island RSL is the perfect place to stop and grab a bite to eat.
Located at the gateway to Cowes, the bistro is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Lunch is between noon and 2.30pm and dinner is seated from 5.30pm through to 8.30pm – perfectly timed to enjoy a delicious meal after a visit to Phillip Island Nature Park to see the penguins, which are currently waddling back to their burrows about 6pm.
Look for the daily specials which now include a vegetarian and seniors’ option. The menu features many gluten-free options such as seared scallops, lamb back strap or Gippsland Natural corned beef and there’s even a daily gluten-free dessert to try.
Kids have their own menu to choose from and it doubles up as an activity sheet to keep them occupied until the meal arrives. Colour in the drawings to win a $10 venue voucher.
The Joey’s Kids Club is free for kids to join if their parent or guardian is a financial member of Phillip Island RSL. Benefits include discounted events during school holidays, their very own membership card, a birthday card from Joey and exclusive competitions. Applications are available at the bistro.
If you plan to stay on the island for a while, make sure you bring your bubs to the free playgroup – Playful Puggles – held each Wednesday from 10am in the Kids Room. There are different activities each week co-ordinated by Dr Rebecca Overeem.
On the last Sunday of each month, kids can let their creativity flow at the Sunday Funday from 12.30pm to 2.30pm on the deck adjacent to the bistro.
After your meal, go for a wander and marvel at the amazing array of military memorabilia on display both outside and inside the venue. A real favourite is the 1914 Triumph H motorcycle on display in the members’ foyer.
