Pig ‘N’ Whistle Indooroopilly

Didnt disappoint, sizzling satay was the best satay ive ever had and cheesy garlic bread was perfect. The tea was so good and cute in the cups

I echo a similar complaint to others. Pub food isn't hard to get right but Pig N Whistle failed miserably. A burnt schnitzel that took 40 minutes to come out, a tasteless namesake burger and a kids meal that came out last. All in all a reasonably terrible experience. Not to mention staff that fail to clear tables or communicate at all. I acknowledge the difficulties the hospitality industry has faced through covid and that staffing isn't easy but a real failure here.

The “Fish Finger” sandwich does not contain fishfingers. It’s a thin strip of fish in an over-thick, over-cooked, greasy breaded coating between two crustless oblong bits of white bread; pinned down by half a pickle and a toothpick.Two of these disappointing articles, plus chips and mayonnaise somehow justifies a $24 price tag, in someone’s head.Oh, and don’t bother asking for vinegar for your chips at a so-called British Pub, you’ll get lazy, ignorant “We don’t have any” worthy of an archetypal French waiter. The kicker? They had plenty.

This is an update of the review that I did at our last visit here in March 2021:Interesting to note the extent to which prices have increased. I had the same steak and Guinness pie that I had last time, except now (as of this writing, I’m sure it will continue increasing with each visit) it cost 33, compared to 29 last time, a 14% increase. A basic rump steak now costs 38. You will recall what I said back then about how our little Aussie peso has been devalued to nothing by our govt. But I could not have imagined how bad it would get. We ordered five drinks at the bar: two pints of lager and three cold drinks: That cost 42 pesos. Unbelievable. And it’s not as if the PnW or the restaurant industry is to blame for this disaster. The blame lies squarely at the feet of successive profligate govts and the Res Bank.Apart from that though, the PnW delivered a similarly high standard of food and service as last time.Six of us dined (five adults and one child) and we ordered a selection of dishes including the aforementioned steak and Guinness pie, a rump steak, chicken burger, chicken salad and nachos for the toddler. That came to a hefty 171. Now it’s great to be able to use the app to order, but I can’t stand the fact that they add a 1.25% “surcharge” for that pleasure, on top of the substantial prices that they are already charging. I would have thought that we should get a discount for app ordering as it clearly requires less staff involvement.My other gripe this time was the noise. We dined on a Sat night and unbeknown to me, it’s a night that they have live music. And given that the venue has wooden floors and no carpets or noise absorbers, this just made it hellishly noisy and uncomfortable and it it ruined the evening for us.And here is the original review:Four of us dined on a quiet Sunday in March. We arrived at 5.30pm, and with only a smattering of other diners, we were easily able to get a nice table outdoors, where we wanted it. But there’s plenty of seating here, indoors and outdoors, so you can take your pick.First up a couple of drinks, inc a pint of Old Speckled hen and a pot of my fav Stone & Wood pale ale, and cold drinks for the ladies. $32 for that lot, which was a good start, and set the tone for what was to follow, which was fairly hefty prices.For our dinners, we ordered two slow cooked lamb shanks with vegetables and mash ($35), a steak and Guinness pie with mash and veg ($29) and the chicken curry ($29). That came to exactly $128 for four meals, which just shows you the extent to which our little Aussie peso has become a worthless piece of paper, thanks to our govt’s insane spending spree. But despite that, we all enjoyed our meals. The food was first class, and portion sizes were generous. My steak and Guinness pie was delicious, with big chunks of tender well cooked meat in a crispy pastry and served with creamy mash and a variety of fresh and tasty green vegetables. It was the genuine article, and I could taste and smell the Guinness lager, which added a great flavour and zest to the pie. The other meals were pretty good too: the lamb was melt-in-you-mouth tender and flavoursome and the chicken curry was a spicy and hearty dish with rice, naan bread and yoghurt.Service was polite, friendly and efficient. It took only around 15 minutes from the time of ordering our meals to the time that they arrived at our table. Just long enough to enjoy our drinks and a bit of light-hearted chit-chat before getting down to the serious business of eating.Ambience was casual, laid back and relaxed.There’s easy parking in the shopping centre with three hours free, and ample toilets in the restaurant itself or just outside in the food court.An excellent venue all round with outstanding food, fast service and a pleasant ambience, if a bit pricey.

Poor customer and look likes really short staffed. Ordered grill chicken burger was burnt all I can taste bitterness. Worst restaurant I have been in Brisbane. I would give negative stars if I could.

We had lunch here for my mum's birthday.It's my first time go to Pig n Whistle and I'm a bit disappointed. First, there were not many staffs to attend our table, it could be because it's lunch time, not sure. No lunch special here! We paid around $87 and this is all the food and drink we got. The food is delicious but the portion is too small.

Made a complaint to owner who responded essentially with, look forward to seeing you next time. The food in this place is disgusting! Usually pig and whistle are quite decent but this was pathetic. Ordered a chicken schnitzel that was delivered almost raw with uncooked batter. The skin on the underneath was impossible to cut. Made a complaint to the store manager who didn’t care for any feedback and gave us a steak knife to cut the schnitzel? This place is a joke!

Lovely atmosphere for dinner. We sat in the tea room, was lovely and cosy. Excellent service and the food was so delicious! We will definitely be back to have some high tea and scones! Thank you!

English pub themed, with some traditional English pub meals eg Sausages and Mashed Potatoes with Yorkshire pudding. Fish and chips. Steak meals, burgers and wraps. Prices are $20 to $50 for a mains. Note : large size servings. Very good quality ingredients.

Online booking system for Easter high tea said booked out. They weren't, I managed to book by phone instead. Staff taking Online booking did not leave me with much confidence booking was made. Rang back few days later to confirm booking myself. Told I would get a call day before to confirm, I didn't. 2 staff on the day were quite pleasant to deal with, the third, not so much.That said, the Easter themed cocktail was extremely nice. The high tea was also very pleasant, although the only thing Easter about it was a hot cross bun & it was Easter Monday. I'm not sure what their food is normally like but doubtful I would recommend to anyone else or return.
