This week, Roy decided he wanted to take his Grandpa out for a special meal to celebrate Fathers Day. He has many restaurants which he loves, but Mungerie House had a special attraction – great food, a lovely location and a small museum! He has been to Mungerie House before (when the photos were taken) and the food was absolutely delicious.
If you would like to visit Mungerie House it is located at 16 Bellcast Road, Rouse Hill. The house is not far from Windsor and not only is there a wonderful house and cafe to enjoy, there is an excellent playground only a short walk from the house. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a family outing.
Mungerie House is an amazing place – with a mysterious history. As Roy discovered last week, the house may be just the top story of another house altogether, Hambledon Cottage. Others think the house was specially built in the 1890s, or Roy has even been told as late as 1910! Whatever the story, Mungerie House is a beautiful old home, and a wonderful little museum. When we were there, one of Roy’s friends, Pam, was working was working in the tourism office, and she showed him around and told him all about it. The volunteers will happily show you around too! One of the places Pam showed him was the old well they discovered when they restored the house. The well is now safely covered over, but you can see where it was in the door of the restaurant!
The food at Mungerie House is provided by the wonderful Meze Me restaurant, which serves Middle Eastern cuisine. The menu is varied, with something for everybody, and even better, they serve excellent breakfast tagines, delicious lunches and exotic dinners! Roy went for lunch and shared a delicious tasting patter with me and his Grandma. Grandpa enjoyed a tasty Middle Eastern ‘pizza’. Desserts were particularly popular and we all had wonderful gelato.
