We booked for joint birthday celebrations. First time at The Colonist and we all really enjoyed it. The drinks and food were great. Menu is amazing with great options for dietary alternatives and allergies. The serving sizes were fabulous! The staff were all super welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Our family dined on Xmas Day for lunch. The staff were attentive and the food was amazing. For us it was a tad too much food and we were able to take home for dinner. We had 2 vegans and one dairy free and those meals were exceptional. The dairy free desserts to die for. Thank you to the publican and staff for organising a fantastic day. Much better than slaving in a hot kitchen. Will be doing it again.

Outstanding service from Matty this afternoon. After a stressful day he left our table with an absolute uplift in spirits and put the biggest smile on our faces. He presented well, had outstanding customer service skills and was overall an absolute gem in accommodating my table. Will definitely be back for more positive vibes! Well done Matty!!

Ordered rib eye steak shared between 2 for $94. You get 2 extra sides in addition to the 500g steak, fries & salad. We got the broccolini in cashew cream + basil tomato salad. Tbh wasn’t expecting much from pub food but it blew our socks off. Restaurant quality, steak cooked to perfection as what we ordered. Both the sides are highly recommended. Fries were a bit blonde. Gravy was good. Cocktails were delicious. I must say pricing was quite high for a pub meal & atmosphere.
