What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The steak was cooked perfectly for me - med/rare but not bleeding. Fresh veges. The staff are exceptional- not only to us but all patrons. The fire was warm and the atmosphere was welcoming. I highly recommend a visit here.”
“I have been to this pub several times for lunch. The freshness of the meals, the best sauce ever. Never go wrong with anything on the menu. Don't go past this pub if you want a great meal.”
“15 of us went to celebrate a birthday. Starting with drinks near the wood fire we were made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff. Dinner was delicious, well presented and all meals arrived together. What made the night very special was the owner came out to say happy birthday to Tony and thanked us all for being there. Will definitely be going back.”
“Beer was great!!! Lunch was fabulous! Best loin chops ever with a crispy fat....they were thick and so delicious! Fish and chips were great too Huge meals. We will be back again”
“Great pub. The lady who served us was super friendly, prices of a schooner was a nice surprise and the food outstanding. I wasn't too hungry so I ordered a cheeseburger. The pattie was made there and was one and a half inches thick! Huge, tasty and one of the best cheeseburgers I've had. We were out on the balcony so it was great for watching the passing traffic. Highly recommended.”
“I was part of a tour group. We had a meal here as a group. A simple meal of barbecued chicken and salads with dessert to follow. Not really special but there were many of us and no one left hungry. The place was spotless, the staff friendly and cheerful. I would have liked a chance to go back and see what they serve when not having to attend to so many in a very short time.”
