I've always wanted to go into the Hawthorn Hotel, I've seen some negative reviews regarding food and service, but I wanted to try it for myself. I had a really pleasant time there, I had a lovely young lad bringing my drinks out to me, he was really lovely and always had a smile on his face! I didnt realise that cocktail hour stops at 9:30 (roughly around that time, cant remember exactly) I went upto the bar and they were even nice enough to make me some cocktails a few minutes past which was awesome! The food was good and it was overall a really nice meal and night! So I'm not quite sure about the negative reviews and why people have had such bad experiences? The place was clean, give it being busy for parma and trivia night. Overall a really good job, thanks Hawthorn Hotel 🥂

Great value for money, especially the Sunday roast with lots of roasted vegetables on the side. The sides are advertised as bottomless but we were given so many vegetables on a separate plate that we couldn't even finish, so we never need to use that option.

Ordered a drink using the QR code and while others arrived mine didn’t, had to go show receipt after 20 mins waiting. Lamb was good but definitely needed a steak knife to cut. Bathrooms pretty grim, some missing seats etc - right next to the university I feel like this place is equally propped up and hammered by proximity.

Walked in to a big welcome and smile, the food is INCREDIBLE! We had the cauliflower wings and OMG amazing, for mains we had the Sunday roast which was incredible a whole plate of vegetables and potatoes along with a whole plate of meat and gravy for only $28!! 100% worth it, partner had the Parma and hands down one of the best his had! The service was great super quick to bring your food and very polite and happy to be there! Came to check we needed anything and that we were happy with everything!! The atmosphere was amazing the lay out and setting is a beautiful place to enjoy a family dinner to a few drinks with mates!!
