    Great food served in what’s essentially (to my mind at least) a top notch gastropub. The staff are amazing the the Sunday roast is a knockout

    Came here for a pre-show drink/meal. I ordered the burger and the food was great. Price was reasonable for St Kilda. Service a little bit slow to start with as weren't offered a drink after we were seated and for a little while after. That said once we got going, things were good. A nice relaxing English pub ambience which considering it was the F1 GP weekend was a pleasant surprise.

    Went for the steak night and was good value, I would have preferred some greens to salad with the steak but overall pretty good 👌🏽

    Very crowded, very noise, hard to hold a conversation. Distracting. However the service was good, the staff lovely, the food was good and the pricing reasonable. I will return another night sometime!!
