Federal Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Kelly
Definitely worth a stop. Great sitting out the front on the picnic tables . Gold beer. Plenty of seating. Fantastic looking pub inside and out.
2 Star Review by Marcus Boun
Was not a huge fan of what I ordered... Nachos, it was very bland. Recommend their pizza and burgers they looked awesome. Price is average $14 for kids meals, go on Sunday if u have little ones they eat free.

I love this pub but the food service at the moment is a bit of a joke. A few weeks ago my partner and I ordered the 250g rump and added on the prawns in creamy garlic sauce for $8 so $37 in total. They obviously ran out of prawns because it came out as slices of calamari and those tiny shrimp prawns that you get in a chinese restaurant, it looked ridiculous. I really don't think its right to assume that a customer would be happy with calamari and baby shrimp when they ordered prawns... The next three times I've been there I have ordered Schnitzel with mashed potato and it has come out with chips instead which I can't eat at the moment. If the kitchen runs out of something that's fine, as long as you get told at the time you are ordering so you can order something else. Or at the very least, they come to find you at your table number to let you know they have run out of that item and ask if you would like to order something else. I don't normally say anything but after the 3rd time of this happening I asked for a refund. The staff there are all really friendly except the blonde woman who was rolling her eyes and swearing under her breath at the fact that I was upset that I hadn't received the food that I ordered. She kept blaming it on the young staff (who are all great). Not sure what is happening in the kitchen at the moment but it is really letting the pub down.

Strange place the federal, last meal we had there was the worst pub meal we have ever had - laksa was more like salty water, so after 6 months we tried again , lamb shank was good but chicken snitty and lamb cutlets were deep fried and chips were old and dry , salad was good ,as our local I would like to give it a better review but probably go to the tavern or several other places close by who really do it better.
1 Star Review by Kate Madison
Beef nachoes had no beef in them, they were the size of a small dinner plate and were $25. When taken back the manager/owner was rude and abrupt and just shrugged saying well that's what it is, no offer of a replacement, money back, different meal. Nothing. Overpriced terrible meals. Definitely don't recommend plus their seating is extremely uncomfortable. Pity their isn't a nice pub in Alstonville.
5 Star Review by Jason Kirkwood
Stopped in for a beer, saw the food coming out of the kitchen so ended up staying for dinner, ribs were delicious as was the chicken saltimbocca. Well priced phenomenal service. Really looked after our kids. Worth stopping in Alvaston just for the Pub.
5 Star Review by jan dilli
The Thai fish cakes were melt in mouth. Ray's rib fillet was cooked to perfection, and vegetables fresh and cooked well. Definitely going back for tasty meal well worth the money, which by the way was reasonable
4 Star Review by Ben Smith
For pub food it's well above average, the best dinner in Alstonville, there are some items that can be a bit hit or miss, stick with the classics and you'll have a quality meal. Feddy is a great option for both individuals and families alike.
