Caledonia Hotel reviews
3 Star Review by Clayton Anstiss
Nice little pub, with friendly staff. I only popped in for a drink on my weekend motorcycle ride , so I didn't have a meal but I overheard some other bikers saying that their lunch was pretty good. Also sells zero alcohol beer which is all I drink while riding. It's amazing how many places still don't sell it . Good stopover pub
1 Star Review by Tanya (Tanya252)
Found the bar staff very unfriendly , the lady was more interested in chewing gum than serving people she was very rude while we were ordering our meals. We had to go through the the front bar to buy drinks as they werent serving drinks in the restaurant which was okay but to try and get through the tables and chairs in the front bar with drinks was a little hard as no one would pull their chairs in to let you through. The locals definitely dont like outsiders in their pub. Meals were very ordinary. Our first and last visit
1 Star Review by Beth Thurgood
Dont bother even reviewing this establishment because the owner is full of lies and excuses. My order wasnt read back to me and we werent advised it would be a 2 HOUR wait for 3 meals. The owner says it was a busy Sunday. I had sadly made the MISTAKE of coming into this establishment and It actually wasnt that busy. The staff is INCREDIBLY rude! After waiting for 2 hours we got served a cold meal! The owner of this restaurant will probably reply to this review in a very childish way, look at their interactions with other people whove said negative things. Bottom line, I recommend this place to people who want to deal with 1. A cold meal 2. A wait time of 2+ hours 3. An owner who probably spends that 2+ hours thinking of excuses for any criticism they receive online 4. Rude staff
