Had a family lunch here. First time here, at least since I was a teenager and frequented the venue onto listen to live bands back when I was a youngster. This is now a traditional tavern and well set up for food service. It was Sunday lunch and the large dining room was at least 75% full which was a good sign. On the table we had a couple of steaks, seniors seafood plate (which was large and generous) and I had a chicken parmi. The comments around the table were positive on the food. My parmi was fairly standard, not the best, but not the worst. Serving sizes were good from what we saw coming out of the kitchen. Prices were fair to good. Would go again.

A well-maintained tavern with relaxed atmosphere, super friendly staff. While the service was warm, our drinks were unfortunately forgotten when our meals arrived. The kitchen staff worked quickly, and the portion sizes were generous. There’s a kids’ playground on-site, though the room had an unpleasant smell, so my children chose not to play there. Thankfully, children’s colouring sheets were available, which helped keep them entertained while we waited for our food.

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.

Our first time at Herdsman Lake Tavern and we’d definitely recommend it for families and group bookings! There is an indoor kids’ playground, colouring in items, and the best kids’ meal that we’ve ever had. So much variety and healthy choices for the kids. Adult meals were delicious and well priced. Fantastic service by Sam ;) Loved it!
