Reviews for The Cauliflower Hotel
Sydney Meetup
What an interesting hybrid pub with its name and ground floor like an unassuming sports bar yet its upstairs having a "Pirates of the Caribbean" ambience. The Forgotten Cask is undisputably the area to visit for a chill weekend sesh - Hayden, Luke and the team kindly booked us the entire space and happily rearranged furniture. Cheap monthly drink specials and Chef's dishes of the week worth having a look.

Walked a long way to try the cocktail bar. Finally arrived and it was closed for a function. Decided to get a drink in the main bar. Found a table only to be advised that the section of the bar we were in was about to be closed for another event! Went to the last remaining table of what was about five tables in the only unbooked part of the hotel. A lovely waitress brought one drink to the table then went back to make the other? Poor music. Waste of my time sadly.

The food at The Cauliflower Hotel in Waterloo is an absolute delight! I tried a variety of dishes, and every bite was fantastic. The roast chicken with broccolini and potatoes was cooked to perfection, with the chicken tender and juicy, and the vegetables adding a fresh, vibrant touch. The nachos were a standout – loaded with toppings like guacamole, sour cream, and jalapeños, every bite was bursting with flavour. The crispy battered fish and tacos were also hits, with each dish delivering on taste and presentation. The portion sizes were generous, and the balance of textures and flavours made for an enjoyable dining experience. Whether you're after pub classics or something with a bit of flair, The Cauliflower Hotel has it covered. Highly recommended!

Our second time enjoying a family get-together at the Cauli! Just like the first occasion, the second time was great (that's why we came back and we visited from out of area, Caringbah South)! Great Bar and choice of bevvies (Cocktail Bar upstairs), Food was delicious. Most of all, the team working there (on Mothers Day 2025) were very friendly, courteous with jovial and efficient service. Mike, in particular is a master of service with a smile! We'll be back.
