Dined here on Friday night. Staff were wonderful considering the booking was for 36 people however about 75 or 80 came. Food was delicious, hot & plentiful and the staff remained pleasant and obliging despite the unexpected number of hungry guests. Definitely go again!

In my efforts to try every pub and winery menu since moving to wine country, the Bellbird offers decent pub grub. Try the Mix Grill - make sure you dont have breakfast first, because their portions aint small. Nice big cutlet, steak, bacon, rissole, egg, chips and salad! Wife had fish and chips and devoured the lot. Washed down with a cleansing ale .. all very good. Staff were good too - overall a pretty decent visit.
