Whilst our meals were quite enjoyable, we were disappointed with the arrival of cold coffees and very strong tea, well after they had been ordered. Each of us had an entree sized meal, plus a drink, and 3 had coffee or tea. We were all disappointed with the cost of the meal and drinks , all eat out often and found it very expensive

Great Food and Staff....but, the size of the room and the high ceilings make for a noisy environment. However, overall, a great venue and the style of the dining area is amazing.

Service was no problem. Was able to order from a staff member from my table. Food was average. I had the burger. Bun was very dry. Onions were burnt. Very bland in flavour. Unsure if I would go back again

This is a very homey country style pub with exposed timber beams and warm brick walls to suit. They offer the traditional pub choices plus some surprises for those looking for more. Our table enjoyed the house-made snitzels and a chickpea curry. Serves were generous and the food was delicious. This pub will give you a guaranteed welcome and a great evening all around. We enjoyed the Heathcote Shiraz by Hanging Rock Winery.
