    Lovely place, great service staff who looked after us very well. Kid friendly. Food was average, not terrible but not as good as previous visits. Small problem with one of the meals that was handled well by service staff with a replacement meal and taken off the bill.

    We celebrated my mothers birthday last night and everyone had a brilliant time. The food is fantastic with very generous portions. The pork belly was melt in your mouth good. The Parmas were spectacular and my kids devoured their burgers. The cheese garlic bread is so good we got a double serve. Despite being busy the service was warm, friendly and helpful. This is a standout gastro pub with a very cosy ambiance. Great drinks selection too!

    Special occasion wasn’t recognized. Put at a table that was uncomfortable and I am heavily pregnant and dining area wasn’t full. Husband ordered mulled wine…. It was microwaved and had a dodge piece of lime shoved in it instead of advertised warm orange. If it wasn’t for the good food it would have been a complete disappointment.

    I understand that these places are struggling for staff but notification of delay would be a good thing. We eat there often and enjoy the food and staff are very attentive. Also the Sunday roast was missing probably due to staff shortage sadly. All the best guys! Our family will continue to support your business. Regards Terry

    This is such a cute place in the bush with rustic atmosphere and hearty food. Unfortunately though we had a lunch booking for 3pm, (phoned ahead and booked online a week before,) we didn’t know they were closing at 5pm for a private function and we had to be off the deck by 4pm so they could set up. And were told that they couldn’t put wood on the fire inside as they were letting it go out. The staff were lovely though super stressed as not enough hands to make it a relaxing visit. I’d given it another try but hope we don’t encounter the same chaos next time.

    our visit was a great success starting with the beautiful surrounds. Once inside you get the feel of a warm cozy English pub. We chose the roast of the day . The beef was tender and full of flavour , vegies perfectly roasted and the yorkshire pudding spot on . Staff were friendly and service was prompt

    Charged me $30 a head for kids meals which was a bowl of ice cream and chips and nuggets… nearly fell over. Understand $70 for adults but ridiculous for kids. Live local and have been here many many times but so so disappointed. Really hope they reevaluate this Matt
