    Where to eat and what to order ? Glenelg Public House is EXCEPTIONAL- no other word for it. We have been there over 50 times in the past few years and have NEVER once had an imperfect meal. The wagyu eye, roasted pumpkin with orange sauce, mash potatoes, house made bread and butter-PERFECTION. Great atmosphere- cosy industrial styled dinning and great welcoming management. You will not be disappointed- generally you have to book ahead a few days or you won’t get a table- we would recommend to anyone wanting to get or have a truly magnificent steak. Love love love this place.

    We regularly attend this restaurant, however tonight the service was extremely slow. Our meals seem to have been forgotten as we waited over an hour for them to come out. Furthermore, we weren’t informed that there is a 10% surcharge on a Sunday night. Overall, food was wonderful as it normally is.
