  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

Ferny Grove Tavern – The Review

Last updated: October 25, 2015
Ferny Grove Tavern

Right next to the Ferny Grove Train Station, is a family friendly tavern that is a popular dining spot for locals. An indoor playground and child friendly menu make this bistro well worth a visit. We all need a night off from cooking sometimes!

Ferny Grove Tavern Bistro

Ferny Grove Tavern Bistro

This small bistro is open every day of the week for lunch and dinner. The menu includes vegetarian and gluten free options, old favourites such as steaks and salads, and more sophisticated meals. There really is something for everyone, and prices are reasonable. Even better, the Ferny Grove Tavern is committed to being a sustainable kitchen. This means that the beef, chicken and pork is sourced from free range Australian farms, the seafood is from sustainable Australian stocks, and the fruit and vegetables are also sourced fresh from Australia.

Ferny Grove Tavern Kids Menu

Ferny Grove Tavern Kids Menu

The kids menu at Ferny Grove Tavern offers more than just the standard kids fare. There are the perennially popular items, such as chicken nuggets and chips, as well as healthier options, including grilled fish, and spaghetti bolognese. ย Each meal comes with the side option of salad and chips, or potato with seasonal vegetables. There are a number of delicious options for dessert too, including french crepes and banana splits.

Ferny Grove Tavern Kids Playground

Ferny Grove Tavern Indoor Play Area

Because the bistro is quite small, you can easily see the indoor playground area from every table. Inside is a maze playground, skill tester machine, arcade game, and television. The children’s menus also double as an activity and colouring-in sheet, and coloured pencils are provided.

For more information, or to make a booking, visit theย Ferny Grove Tavernย online or phone 3351 2390. Ferny Grove Tavern is located at 1348 Samford Road, Ferny Grove.
