Great location easily accessible by light rail. Fantastic staff offering friendly attentive service. The food choices, meal serving sizes and pricing is fantastic and superbly prepared, presented and served and absolutely delectable. Their Chili Prawn Linguine is superb. Live music also adds to the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Not many options open on a Monday long weekend so the pub was the first choice. Not a bad atmosphere and the staff were pleasant. Up market pub food so the parmigiana was the choice of the night. Not too bad. The salad was a nothing fancy and the lettuce was a little limp. The chips were good, crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle. The parmigiana was a generous size. Crunchy coating, chicken well cooked and not dried out and the cheese and toppings was a nice layer on top. Please clean the floors around the bar. Very sticky. Not a bad experience and good value for money.

A beautiful old pub that’s being refurbished and has retained its original charm. The food is very tasty and the service quick and friendly. Dining area is simple yet cosy and modern.
