Updated 2025 March Revisited this tavern, thought we’d try their steak and ribs. It’s great to see them offering Sunday kids eat free (one kids meal per adult meal) but no points or other promo can be applied. The wait time for the food was again very long on this revisit but the dining area were approx 50% occupied given their large dining area. However, they have colouring sheets, colour pencils and an indoor kids playground which is fantastic to keep kids entertained while waiting for the food to arrive. It took a while after ordering before we were notified that rib-eye steak was unavailable so we were offered scotch fillet option which there was a price difference. The refund must have been forgotten so we had to chase up the refund of the difference. That aside, the steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and absolutely delicious, likewise for the pork ribs, meat just falls off the bone and flavour was delicious. Portion size for the salad and chips were quite generous and definitely enough to feed one. They have a few kids meal options, it’s great to see healthy options offered as shown in the photo, however, they do need to pay attention to the fruit served. The strawberries were a let down with the quality and the bottom strawberry even had presence of mould which is a worry serving that to anyone let alone to kids. After speaking to one of the staff at the counter, I didn’t feel at ease as it wasn’t a straight forward apology and replacement, but rather an investigation of the strawberry brought back and took a while of investigation in the kitchen with a kitchen staff before replacement was brought out all the while me standing at the counter. Services was definitely a let down in this aspect but otherwise it is a fantastic place for family with young children and anyone who loves watching live sports on several of their TVs around the dining area. Visit in 2024 A spacious dining area with an inviting atmosphere, suitable for adults, family and children as they have a playground to keep the children entertained while waiting for meals. Staff were all very attentive and friendly and took our orders promptly. It was the wait time for food to arrive that was the let down for the evening especially when it wasn’t a full house. Kid’s meal ‘pizza chips and juice’ arrived, it was quite disappointing. Juice wasn’t even a juice box or pop top but something poured out of a big bottle/carton into a little cup. Pizza has next to nil toppings and tasted like frozen supermarket pizza… all these for $12 was definitely not worth the value. On the contrary, the Malaysian lamb curry was delicious. Flavour for the Malaysian curry was not what I was expecting from an Asian’s taste bud but it was still tasty enough for me to finish the entire plate. I personally found the seafood linguine nothing overly fancy in flavours but my husband enjoyed it. A place worth trying especially if going with kids but just pick kids meals carefully… not sure what other kids meals will be like.
Herdsman Lake Tavern is a fantastic spot for a relaxed meal or gathering, with some standout offerings that make it a great choice for families and social occasions. Here's a breakdown of my experience: Casual Dining Atmosphere:The tavern is an excellent place to catch up with friends or enjoy a laid-back lunch. The friendly vibe and welcoming ambiance make it a comfortable spot for any occasion. Sunday Roast:The Sunday roast was satisfying overall, with a generous portion and well-prepared elements. While the pork crackling fell short of expectations, the rest of the plate made up for it with hearty and flavorful servings. Steak Sandwich:The steak sandwich was a highlight, offering a delicious and satisfying bite. It’s a great option for those looking for a classic pub-style meal done right. Desserts:While the dessert options are limited, the cheesecake was a standout. Creamy and indulgent, it’s worth saving room for. Family-Friendly Perks:A big draw for families is the "kids eat free" offer on weekends, making it an affordable and appealing choice for dining out with little ones. Function Room:For larger gatherings or parties, the function room is a great feature. It’s well-suited for hosting events, adding to the tavern’s versatility. Final Thoughts:Herdsman Lake Tavern delivers a solid pub experience with hearty meals, family-friendly perks, and a welcoming atmosphere. While there’s room for improvement in certain areas, like the pork crackling and dessert variety, it’s still a reliable spot for a good meal or social event. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the Sunday roast or a family weekend outing!
Sunday Roast. Slow cooked lamb shoulder with garlic and herbs with perfect roast vegetables. Yorkshire puddings could be crispy but absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere, staff and easy ordering.
Decidedly dingey venue despite attempts to tszuj it up with expensive light fixtures. When I came the place was 95% boomers who probably don't know that they can find nicer venues. Staff are pleasant and the place doesn't smell; both strong pluses for an otherwise fairly depressing venue. Did I mention the sports memorabilia? If you are into that sort of thing you'll love the Sports Bar. It's hard to miss: that's right next to the gambling one, cough, main bar.
