Hearty home cooking is on offer at Phoebe’s @ Ten Dollar Town Motel on Mayne Street in Gulgong. Housed in the historic charm of the old Royal Hotel, Phoebe’s muted pastel décor and open fire place create a cosy and intimate ambiance for locals and tourists alike to enjoy dinner in a restaurant named after storyteller Henry Lawson’s aunt. Take a seat on magenta coloured chairs and admire artwork adorning mint green walls, while contemplating starters like deep fried camembert served with cranberry sauce and Turkish wedges. Enjoy crispy skin duck as a main option, on a bed of Asian salad, with won ton noodles and orange sauce, or perhaps delve into spiced lamb rump with a chargrilled vegetable stack and side of Greek yoghurt. Save room for a sweet treat such as decadent Mississippi mud cake.
