The Herdsman Lakes Tavern has always been a great place to stop for some typical pub grub and a pint and with its recent refurbishments, the tavern is even more family friendly.

Hidden away in Wembley near the Herdsman wetlands, this is a great spot to stop with plenty on offer.

The kids’ menu is typical of what many taverns seem to be offering these days, the “Club 4 Kids Food and Fun Pepe’s Menu”. Kids have the choice of a meal, side and drink for $9.90 with extra costs for desserts, which at $3 is quite reasonable. Herdsman actually had its own ice cream station at the bar which was of course was very popular.

The kids’ menu had plenty to choose from with gluten free and an impressive range of healthier options available. The fish and chips my daughter ordered were very generous and tasty.

One of the staff walked around and handed out flashing wrist bands that were welcomed with squeals of delight. I had the privilege of wearing a very bright strawberry one whilst Madam went off to play. Super cool. Kids also receive an activity place mat and colouring in pencils to keep them occupied while they wait for their meal.

Herdsman offers plenty of great deals and incentives to bring your children along especially on Sundays where kids not only eat free all day but there is also free entertainment between 5-8pm. Kids also eat free all day Monday too.

Of course, besides the menu, the draw card for families is the enclosed playground area which is located in a central spot. No matter where you sit in the tavern you should be able to see your young ones while you enjoy your own meal and a quiet beverage.

Like the “Pepe’s menu” the Herdsman seem to have adopted the “Bistro Menu” that is becoming quite common for taverns and hotels around Perth. We’ve had a few hit and miss experiences with the food ordered from these, however, the meals we ordered came out swiftly and were delicious.

The Herdy also offers some great deals like Tuesday night – Steak night, Wednesday night – Summer Fiesta night (Mexican fare including discounted cocktails – chilli margaritas!), and of course Thursday night – Parmy and Pint night!

There is something for everyone at “The Herdy” and is a great place to take the kids out for a meal without costing a fortune.
