The Peppercorn on Campbell is a delightful restaurant attached to the Comfort Inn Campbell. Having dined at this restaurant a number of years ago, it was with anticipation that we decided to try it out again (sometimes places lose their charm and their standards). But we are happy to report that they haven't changed a bit. The atmosphere is still that of a cosy restaurant that's fine for larger gatherings of 20 but is an excellent choice for that romantic dinner for two.

Now even though I and the better half were dining there, it wasn't a romantic dinner for two as we had company. When presented with the wine list, it wasn't any surprise to us as the Peppercorn now stocks 18 fine wines from the Murray River region sourced through Murray River Wines, and as we had an intimate knowledge of each wine on offer, our company wisely asked for our opinion of which one to enjoy with our meals. We chose the Stanton and Killeen Shiraz Durif (unfortunately we were limited to one bottle between four - but that's another story isn't it Ros). A nice all rounder that went well with the dishes we ordered.

There is certainly plenty of choice on the menu - with some of our group having entrees and of course the better half having dessert. The evening ended with coffee which was agreed by all to be the "right stuff". The service was good without the undue pressure some Restaurants place on their clientele to get their meals over. A very relaxed evening with good food, good company, good coffee and of course damn fine wine.

The Peppercorn on Campbell is located at the Comfort Inn Campbell, 396 Campbell Street, Swan Hill. We suggest you phone Tyrone or Jenny on 5032 4427 for bookings, they would be only too pleased to help you.
