Went for a great evening with friends for the Pitmaster Class hosted by Feral Brewing Co. Super informative host going through the mindset behind the techniques he uses when smoking brisket as well as other smoked meats. $120pp is more than worth it for the price. Incredible food standout for me was the beef rib slider to start the night and pork ribs super tender and juicy. What surprised me most was the finishing desert (smoked cherry cobbler) genius use of smoked stone fruit imparted a subtle but amazing flavour to the desert. Will definitely try implementing this in my own cooking. Can’t forget the great pairings to go with each meal from Feral Brewing Co. Left that evening full to the brim with food and information and a great buzz from the drinks highly recommend definitely get your moneys worth!

I cannot express enough how disappointed my family and I were with every aspect of our visit to The Guildford Hotel. After planning our day around having lunch at the pub, we arrived with high expectations, only to be let down at every turn. We sat at a table that was half-covered with dirty glasses and plates, waiting for someone to clear it. After 30 minutes of being ignored, my wife took it upon herself to clean the table. A manager even walked past the mess, looked directly at it, and said, “I don’t have time for that,” which was incredibly unprofessional. After finally placing our order, we waited over an hour for our food, only to be further disappointed by the quality. The steak sandwich was a complete letdown—the steak was overcooked, the lettuce was carelessly hanging out of the sandwich, and the overall presentation was dismal. It was, without exaggeration, the worst steak sandwich I’ve ever had. My mother-in-law ordered the charred fennel salad, which was a sea of lettuce with only three small pieces of fennel scattered throughout. My wife’s salad was missing key ingredients, including eggs and croutons. While we considered pointing out these issues, the thought of waiting another hour for a replacement meal was unbearable. The entire experience, from the service to the food, was incredibly disappointing and not at all what we expected. We left feeling frustrated and let down after what should have been an enjoyable family outing.

The Guildford Hotel offers a delightful blend of history and modern charm. Located in the heart of Guildford, this heritage-listed building is beautifully restored, boasting original architecture paired with contemporary design elements. The ambiance is vibrant, particularly in the bar and dining areas. The menu features a diverse selection of dishes, with a focus on wood-fired and smoked flavors, offering options to satisfy both casual diners and food enthusiasts. The cocktail list is creative, and the beer selection includes both local brews and international favorites. Service is generally friendly and attentive, although the venue can get quite busy during peak hours, which might cause slight delays. Still, the lively atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for a social gathering or celebration. The hotel also accommodates private events, with versatile spaces that retain the building’s historical charm while providing modern amenities. For a night out, a casual lunch, or even a special occasion, the Guildford Hotel delivers a unique experience that captures the essence of Guildford’s rich history and vibrant community.

The smoked brisket burger was a masterpiece. The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender and juicy that was simply irresistible. It was generously piled on a bun. Each bite was an explosion of flavours that left me craving more. The chips were equally impressive and seasoned perfectly. Adding to the overall perfectly dining experience was the rustic building making it a very enjoyable lunch

I have never been here and how they have restored since the fire is amazing. I walked around intrigued at how they used some of the charred wood and mixed old with new. The service was great and the food delicious. Big serves and so fresh.
