First - shout out to my man Chef Brad. What a hero & legend for putting on the carvery spread he did. Can’t be easy & I can imagine fraught with dangers in balancing the quantity and quality based on those who may or may not turn up. I hope he is treated well for this! $39 for a carvery is very well placed - as a fan of roasts (@sundayroastdaddy - I don’t muck around for my love of roasts!) I can healthily and honestly put this up in lights. Brad not only knows what he is doing, he makes it a pleasure to be served by him. Aside from the quality tasty Sunday roast treats, I love they have Guinness on tap & have an option to sit both inside or outside. I can’t imagine you’ll have the most kind or friendliest of patrons at the best of times - so you know these bar staff are well equipped to deal with such matters - though we’re very kind to us. I can recommend the sticky date pudding, too. Not silly-sweet and had a good serving amount for dessert. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a roast coma to embrace.

Pretty bad, service and food is horrible. Waited for over 30 minutes for food, was given the reason that the chef was busy. I hope he is busy, busy making my food. We ask the server a couple of times then the food arrives. You be the judge. My pasta looks like someone already ate it and my steak that the chef insist is medium rare. Like bro, the only thing rare here is the medium rare steak. Honestly, not sure how they are still in business.

Very pleasant pub where I enjoyed a fantastic sunny afternoon in their spacious outdoor including smoking area and dog friendly!I like the food too, loved their croquettes while calamari weren’t so crispy for my taste, still had great time. Will be surely back! UPDATE came back for a great fish and chips! However, my partner got the steak sandwich, and in his opinion it was rather small and a little burned

We had a fabulous night at the Melbourne Public, really enjoyed the live music. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Great range of cocktails available at happy hour, best cocktails ever. I had the chicken ceasar salad, it was perfect. Highly recommend.

New spot for us. Love it. Parma great and Lamb Pie delish too. Nice warm and cosy spot on the terrace. Dog friendly, friendly staff. 10/10. We will be back for sure. Update: Came back again and had another great day of meals and drinks. Our new favourite casual hang out in Docklands. Once again, bar and food staff very friendly and helpful and food and drinks great.
