Sir Joseph Banks Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Vanessa
Great vibe! Went for a Sunday lunch with my friend & it did not dissapoint. Food is well priced for the portion, quality & taste. Staff at the bar are friendly & serve you promptly. Loved seeing dogs & children amongst the patrons. Lovely place, will be back to enjoy a long lazy Sunday. Note, best to book a table. Noticed it got busy quickly & most tables were reserved.

Went to watch the footy and have a meal last night and Accidentally left my wallet behind. Honest person handed my wallet in and picked up the next day.. Had a large some of cash in my wallet and not one dollar was missing. Thank you to the honest person who handled it in and the bar staff for holding onto my wallet until I was able to pick it up.
5 Star Review by diogo martins
I strongly recommend this hotel!!! I did a wedding function on a saturday. The place have the ideal size, we could fit all our guests, everyone were confortable. The food is good and the prices are super fair. Also we could connect our music, bring our cake/sweets and do our decoration. The function place is super nice and we didn't spend a huge money to leave the place in the way that we imagine! The staff are super friendly and I have zero complains about them. A special thanks for Natalie and Marvin who looked after us in there! If you're looking for a place to do a function this is the place!
4 Star Review by Toby S
Good area out back for families/ to watch sport on big screen. Dog friendly also. Tap beer selection is poor however. No Balter, nor anything else that is of much interest except Newtowners. Shame they dont have anything from the local brewery One Drop. Youd think that would be a given.

Great local pub with friendly staff. Prices of drinks are good and the food is okay, though the side salads are very small

We had dinner here. Worst chicken snitty ever. Pepper sauce was runny with no peppercorns. Salad was a small slop of grated cabbage and carrot with some mayo. Fries were terrible. My partner had octopus salad. Not great.
