Had the best lamb shank I’ve had and my partner’s grilled salmon was cooked to perfection with delicious vegetables and salsa verde. Staff very welcoming, friendly and professional. Sat right next to the fire on a cold and wet winters night. An overall great experience- thank you!

We held our cocktail style wedding reception here. The function packages and inclusions are very reasonably priced and good value. The planning process was easy and communication was good. On the day of our function, we had people arrive to setup our decorations and put together the final touches, only to be faced with a function room which had not been cleaned from the night before and the room not setup at all (tables, linen etc) as we had been promised in our consultation. Instead of setting up our decorations, time was spend rushing to clean up after previous guests and no assistance was provided by staff. The bathrooms also had not been cleaned with male guests opting to use the bathrooms downstairs instead of the function ones due to the state of them. As our function commenced I queried the inclusions of our drink package only to be told we did not have one. We had paid for one but the information had not been relayed to the staff member assigned. The food platter ordered were good and guests complimented the food. However the gluten free platters we ordered had not been noted on the run sheet and were not provided (normal instead). The kitchen staff scrambled to provide some GF food for our guests, which was appreciated but should not have been necessary. The function was understaffed and we had one fantastic staff member who worked the whole function pretty much by herself, serving drinks to 90 guests as well as collecting glasses and liaising with the kitchen to coordinate everything. If it were not for the fantastic staff member we had working the function this would be a 1 star review. She went above and beyond to try and resolve the issues we experienced. And before I am told to email the manager to discuss, this was already done a few weeks ago with no response.

Generally staff were friendly and efficient. Venue could have done with more heating in a chilly evening but the faux open fire was a nice touch. The food was generally disappointing though. I had salmon that was so overcooked it was black and the driest fish I have ever eaten. Was offered a re-cook but was on a time constraint so no good. Only 1 dish of three was described as acceptable (and we are not hard markers on on food)

Food wasn't that great. Chips tasted of fish and salad tasted like citrus detergent. Sticky date pudding was great

Pork belly was so overdone it was as dry as sticks in your mouth.... Sauce on it was lovely, it was the only way to get it down. We both ordered the pork and both meals were the same. Staff were lovely and Atmosphere was also good. Easy walk from where we were staying.
