Oh -  this turned out to be almost 100% perfect!  Easy to eat - leaving you wishing for one more bite! Lots of flavour / colour herbs etc! Crusty on the outside / nice soft on the inside! Nice arrangement!

Porcelain Platter - serviette on the side (not underneath as some do) - arriving hot but not too hot and in good time!

The ONLY markdown  - the platter had a tiny little chip at the side - which we only noticed, once we had eaten most of it!! Apart from that - yup - almost perfect!!

The menu listed this as: 

Garlic Ciabatta (V) $11 

Toasted garlic ciabatta with garlic herb butter

 

 It came out in good time and was still hot to the touch - although I think the arrangement may have suffered during delivery.  Further - seems that everyone these days is using Ciabatta bread as first choice to use! Not sure why that is . . .

Upon closer inspection you could actually see the little garlic bits - having been roasted - on the top!! Sadly - a tiny wee dash of green herbs was absent!  

There were three of us and I wonder if the quantity had been adjusted for that - even with three - there ended up one piece left behind! We should go back as a couple and see if there is less on offer for two!

Certainly plenty of flavor and seemingly genuine butter - although that would go counter to the V - (meaning Vegetarian) listed on the menu. Maybe Margarine or Olive oil was used???  Crispy skin and fleshy soft on the inside - almost perfect! Notable too is the absence of a wooden platter or the usual napkin underneath.

It was time to treat ourselves again and we bunked down in the little town of Cheviot.  A meal out was part of that treat and we visited the Cheviot Trust Hotel.

The ordered Garlic bread came out with the main meal (after the 2 plates of meal came  out first).  Hmmmm  - OK the  Garlic bread itself was nice and very hot - straight from the oven! Crusty on the outside all-round and soft fleshy on the inside! Plenty of flavor and as you can see, a healthy sprinkling of herbs. The steak knife was useful in cutting it into pieces as it needed a lot of cooling down to handle it.  Given it came with the main meal at the same time - we did have little time to savor it - and ended up leaving some behind.  I did love the plate - so much better then the usual wooden platter.
