Heard good things but was extremely disappointed in the food. 3 of 4 meals were barely touched. Upside. The atmosphere was ok. Nice music. Enjoyed the wings. Good dish to share with friends. Issues: The roast of the day was chicken. Chicken was so dry it was it was uneaten. Seemed like a cold chicken reheated. Chicken hamburger and chips - chips were good. Burger was poor. The patty is low quality. Uneaten Barramundi and veg - veg not cooked. Potatoes are uneatable, and they couldn't cut through them. Barra was fine. General comments - placed the order on the app. When wings came, we asked a question about it being the right sauce. We were told it was. It was obviously wrong. Took it back. The chef argued it was what we ordered. We asked to change it regardless. Upon returning to the table, we checked the app, and we had ordered the correct thing. Even if we hadn't, from a service perspective, it was no issue to change a little container with sauce in it. Why argue? There was one lady working the floor that had a clue. Well done to her. She was diligently cleaning, serving and checking outcomes. Highly likely, we won't return to this venue.

My daughter and I were looking for somewhere to watch the Lions thrash North (and have a feed). The service was excellent from a great drink recommendation to swapping my daughter’s meal when she realised she ordered the wrong thing. The food came quickly and was what you’d expect for pub fare. I loved that every live sport you could want to see was on one of the many TVs. The only downfall was that the eating area was getting wafts of smoke from the smoking area. Thanks again for the great service.

Husband & I stopped in tonight to have dinner. He ordered the chicken parmigiana & I ordered the drunken pork chop with veg & drinks. The mashed potatoes, zucchini, carrots & sauce was great! The star of the plate, the pork chop, was a huge let down. The fat wasn't rendered & the chop was as tough & chewy as old leather boots! We've been here before & thought we'd try something different other than Chicken Snitty with gravy or a Parmy. It just gets a bit boring having that or fish & chips. He ended up sharing his parmy with me until we got something else to eat on the way home. This, was not an enjoyable meal & we won't be back.

Not a bad pub, been before and had a good feed. The Staff are attentive and quick to serve at table. This is a good thing. Snitzel was good, so was the calamari but the seniors battered fish was pathetic. Tiny filet covered in atrocious heavy inedible batter that was over cooked.... do better people.
