A few of us went to the trivia last week and thought we would enjoy a pub meal at the same time. Food was extremely disappointing all round , the burgers we got were disgraceful, and if any of us go back it would only be for a drink definitely not the food. It’s a shame, as a local we would love to go there more, but not before there is significant change in the kitchen.

Tried the Thursday Trivia night with group of 5 friends. Atmosphere and service were good but the food was mediocre at best. Paid $20 for 4 x Anancini’s the size of a 10c coins (wish I was exaggerating … but no) Complained to the very embarrassed and understanding waitress, who offered to bring another plate of 4 x mini Arancini’s. Sad to say … we will not be back. Definitely need to change the cook.

Took our dog here and had a very nice relaxing time in their beautiful court yard. Great food and beer, including a beer for our dog! Would highly recommend! Bring your pup here they’ll love it
Kitchen Insider
Busy local pubs usually make great, simple meals. That's not our experience here. Love the place, and happy to pay $55 for a schooner, soda water, salad and side of Cole slaw...but not these ones. (Btw the white bay beer is sublime). The system is that the food is made, a bell rung and someone comes to grab it and ferry it to you. After watching our meal sitting as several kitchen team walked past it, looked at it and...nuthin, we went to grab it ourselves before the chef kindly obliged. The nicoise salad was sans pommes de terres, that is, no spuds. The beans were 4 whole beans buried under the pack of mixed leaves and halved cherry tomatoes of the lowest quality imaginable. A nicely poached egg, olives, and mediocre anchovies. If youre going to use fresh tuna, atvleaste sear the outer, tataki style to give us some interest (though the traditional tin tuna really works better (though originally, there's no tuna, but I digress). Incomplete, especially spudless but a pass, 2.5/5. Sadly, the slaw was a disaster. I'm old, I'm really old, but in human years, that cabbage made me look like kid. As cabbage ages, it loses its ability to snap when easten, even when dressed. Think of it like shaving with a dull razor. That's what eating that cabbage was like. We will come back when we pass by again...you never know, the $50 500g beef ribs (expect max 150g of meat) may be the way to go.
