The friendly staff at the Lakeside Café are (L – R) Trina Potter, Vickie Fry, Debbie Neilsen and Shane Neilsen.
The popular Lakeside Take Away Café in Forbes has reopened its doors with a menu full of goodies.
Shane Neilsen and his family opened the doors a month ago and business had been great. “We are getting smashed,” said Shane. “We are advertising on Facebook only at the moment and word is clearly getting around.” There plenty of great reviews on the café’s Facebook page with many compliments for the great service, steak burgers, fresh fish, scallops with gravy, generous portions and friendly staff. The Lakeside Café has indoor and sun-catching outdoor seating situated only 300m from Lake Forbes on the corner of Wambat and Oxford streets. The family run business offers a wide range of delicious foods including seafood baskets, Cherry Ripe and Mars Bar Milkshakes, take away coffees and more. The business is open from Monday to Friday 6am to 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday 7:30am to 7pm.
