For a slice of history and a craft brew, drop into The Pub with no Beer in Taylors Arm. Sit down with the locals in a pub steeped with memorabilia and listen to stories from a bygone era, when a flooding Kempsey river cut off the town and no beer could get through, an event later immortalised in a song by Slim Dusty. With a Murray's craft ale in hand, venture into the Cowhide Bistro where polished wood floors and floor to ceiling French doors create a light, bright, airy vibe and peruse a classic pub menu plating up dishes such as salt and pepper squid with chips, salad and housemade aioli. Perhaps chow down on bangers and mash with peas and onion gravy, or salivate over a pizza selection with choices like chicken with tomato and barbeque sauce, bacon, Spanish onion and cheese.
