Dicks Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by Ashraf Obaid
Good vibrant pub. The bistro has a decent selection of food but they tend to run out of certain things when busy. Gets very loud when very busy so if you're looking for a quieter pub then this isn't it.
4 Star Review by Lesley Bryce
Im not a footy fan, but really enjoyed the enthusiasm of the crowd, cheering on their beloved Swans. Food was great. A perfect place to farewell our dear friend, Mike.

Was a nice local pub with a great out door area! Didn't get a chance to eat a proper meal but the appetizers we did have was delicious.
4 Star Review by Sixfoot & Salty
Solid pub grub, generous serves at a good price. Enjoyed the wings, arancini and squid. Parmi was good with nice chips. Pork with Asian salad was ok, would definitely recommend cooking pork in the sauce rather than drizzling over. Fish and chips looked great though I didn't try it.
