Upon a visit to Newcastle, popped in here for a quick meal… expecting the usual pub affair I was pleasantly surprised with everything this pub is! But the food is the best part! Well done guys! The Nepalese dumplings are a standout and the snittys are the bomb! Great service to boot! 👏 3 day visit to Newy and I visited twice! Just had to return.
I'm here at 3:30 on a Thursday afternoon. It's quiet but that's understandable. Device was immediate and polite. The position is outstanding near buses and trams. The river and the ocean are both in walking distance. It's a Grand old hotel that still survives, thank goodness.
Arrived on a wet Friday for lunch. Very welcoming staff. I ordered a large Shiraz and a rare rump steak with salad and fries. Very good steak, no gristle and cooked as requested. Excellent salad that had a hint of something I could not identify, but very tasty none the less. Compliments to the chef and excellent service!
I am currently having some lovely birthday 🎂 beverages for my dear friend Charlotte. My shandy was delightfully constructed by the outstanding Alex who served with such gusto, guided by the ever knowledgeable Jonti. This was just what I needed for my first shandy since my hip operation in 2017 💖✨🍻
Friday afternoon late lunch - great menu, $15 specials too & serve lunch till 2:30pm which is a very pleasant surprise! Had the fish tacos - very nice with a little spicy kick. Staff were great. Pub immaculately clean and just beautiful to be in.
