The farewell speech
We then headed off to the Woolwich Pier Hotel for a boozy afternoon. 
A few of the guys - Left: Jen, Lucy, Adele, JP Right:Mayura, Sarah
The Food
Left: Classic Salad Nisçoise with Atlantic Salmon $16.00 - The fish was fresh and was reasonable for the price. Right: Steak Sandwich with fries (Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, Onion Relish & Beetroot) $14.00 - this wasn't a hit with us as the steak tasted like boiled meat
Left: Tempura Battered Fish Of The Day with Fries & Tartare $19.00.
Right: Garlic Prawns with chilli on fettuccini with spinach and coriander $20.00 - I found this dish to be a bit too oily, the pasta was a bit plain on its own and the prawns a tad too salty, I was left feeling a little disappointed.
Left: Scallops on Half Shell with Tarragon Butter - 1 Dozen $25.00 & Bowl of Fresh Prawns with Garlic Aioli (serves two $28.00) - seafood was very fresh and scallops had just enough flavour, would recommend.
Right: Vegetable Stir Fry with Fresh Singapore Noodles $16.00 - ordinary for the price.
The Cocktails
Our Company gave us a $500 bar tab to drink the afternoon away. And drink we did! I'm really not sure when I became such an alco but in 2 maybe 3 hours I managed to consume:
1 x vodka lemon lime
2 x caprioska cocktails
1 x lychee with cranberry Cocktail
1 x shot of Sambucca
The service was exceptional! and the barman was really sweet making his own little cocktail creations especially for us. The weather and waterfront view made it a really easygoing and fun afternoon, just what we all needed. At around 4:30pm we all hopped on the ferry to the city and finished the night with more drinks @ Opera Bar.
Before Reena left she handed me a present with these parting words of advice for me:
"Take Pride in how far you have come,
and have Faith in how far you can Go!"

Hi Di!
I think that the food looks a lot better than it actually tastes - but great location!
Hello,
I'm one of the boyz from WoW. =)
I'm interested in good food or fine dinning as well. Like this post you have on Woolwich. Location look fantastic but the menu look quite ordinary.
My gf seems to have more time searching for great food as well. We just visited "Spice I Am" on the corner of Campbell and Elizabeth st. Great Thai food if you have a knack for spice ! Price is reasonable if you order the right dishes. If you havnt been check out the menu here. =)
