Reviewers – Lee & Nikki

First things first - We were advised by the (super friendly and attentive) staff of the St. Andrews as we ordered that a new menu was being introduced today. Literally a day after we ate this parma for review. I can’t find details on the new menu just yet but will update as soon as I know whether or not the parma made the cut.

The last few weeks of parma reviews have definitely been interesting here at ParmaDaze. We’ve had a Pizza place, a Parma Festival, A cafe, a food truck and another Pizza place in recent weeks, yet we haven’t had a good ol’ fashioned pub parma since our visit to the Oxford Scholar back at the start of May - And as interesting and unique as this last month of parmas has been, I was really craving a good old school parma at a pub.

So I did what I always do when I’m a bit stuck for ideas. Fired up Google Maps, typed in “pub” and just scrolled around. Hovering over Fitzroy something interesting caught my eye - A pub name I didn’t recognise. The St. Andrews Hotel.

I zoomed in and realised what was up. A pub we had visited in the past has changed its name. Fitzroy’s Pumphouse Hotel has rebranded itself as the St. Andrews Hotel.

I always liked the Pumphouse. You can read about our 2012 visit here. So was curious to see how things had changed. (I also noticed on the menu that they have recently won “Burger of the Year” at the 2018 AHA Vic State Awards for Excellence, so their pub grub can’t be all that bad. We loaded up the Parma Bus and headed to Fitzroy.
