    My friend and I had a wonderful lunch at Palmwoods Hotel today. The staff were so lovely and helpful and the food was amazing. I had the Lunch Coconut prawns with salad and chips and my friend had the Lunch Belly pork with bok choy and rice. Absolutely scrumptious and the servings were incredible. We will definitely be returning!

    Hi, We've noticed that our favorite meal, the Fisherman's Plate, has slowly declining in size and i offering. The large Flat chips I've come to enjoy, well my plate was given small offcuts of chips of which I've recommended to my friends that I would go there, and order just the chips cause they were so nice. Soft on the inside crunchy on the outside, perfection. However my husband received the big flat chips that I've come to enjoy. The amount of chips have been much more generous in the past, but not yesterday. Why didn't I get the same? The Calamari is usually large flat tender pieces, this time I got 3 thin calamari pieces. The Salad had no greenery, 1/2 a tomato piece and covered in mayonnaise, just carrot and beetroot shavings. Usually I recieve 2 pieces of crumbed fish and only received 1. I always count the amount I receive every visit. I was the first order in, so running out would not have been the reason. We sat at table 54 if you want to check our order. Overall, your generosity on the plate is diminishing. I would think at least chips and salad could be more generous, as it used to be.

    Had to try the Palmwoods Hotel Parmie night and it did not disappoint. Three different Parmies on our order. All three were of ample size with a good serving of chips and salad. Highly recommended

    We were left standing at the sign that says, wait here to be seated for quite a long time, they opened at 4pm this was now 5pm, fortunately a young lady arriving to work there, stopped to check us in and show us to a table, at this time there were more staff hanging around in groups talking than there were customers. Went to the bar to buy a drink and a male staff member looked at me then turned back to carry on his conversation, eventually he came over to serve me. I next went to the meal order counter, no staff member was present, a cook in the kitchen rang a bell to get the attention of any staff member, after some time, the young girl who had led us to our table served me, still rest of the gathered in groups chatting. When the meal arrived it was bearly warm, obviously took sometime after it had been prepared to be picked up and delivered to the table. When we finished our meals, the same young lady who at greeted us came to pick up our plates, we informed her of our disappointment with the meal and the service, I told her that if she wasn't there we would probably still be waiting at the check in, she offered to talk to the manager on our behalf and maybe get us a free glass of wine, we thanked her, but declined it was now very busy and noisy, shame its been our goto place for sometime, but not anymore.
