Huntlee Tavern reviews

4 Star Review by Kellie Neal

Looked clean, new and nicely decorated. I had the Surf and Turf Pizza. There wasn't a lot of prawns or brisket on the pizza, so could mainly just taste the pizza base sauce. It was a decent size though.

4 Star Review by Jon Humphries

Nice venue. Worth the 10-15 minutes trip from the centre of the vineyards. Good food options. Nice cocktails. Really friendly, welcoming and helpful. Steak was good, but a bit small and pricey for pub food. A good alternative to Harrigans.

5 Star Review by Katherina Fatiguso

Beautiful pub/restaurant, spacious and comfortable, great for families. The food is tasty, very generous size (a bit too much for me), a bit pricey but it's expected for this place. The staff are friendly and helpful.

3 Star Review by Shenny Penny

Average food, with okay service. Meals came out fast. Standard pub food. Clean toilets as well. The tables are a bit unstable so be careful. Good selection of wines and drinks.
