Delany Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Ann Humphries
Lovely old hotel. Food was delicious, we had the lunch steak and chicken Caesar salad. Very generous portions. We sat outside and was very happy there was no "music" playing.
5 Star Review by Harold West
Good atmosphere and good music! Staff are friendly, female ones in particular absolute belters! Would rate a 6 star if they kept the Kalyn Ponga/Kurt Mann plaque in the cubicle
3 Star Review by Ruby Cooper
Good food options. Lots of drink options but waited 20 minutes for a cocktail on a Saturday night. The dance floor upstairs was fun.
1 Star Review by Laura Lucia
Nice staff, food was absolutely disappointing. We had Jacks Creek Rump and everything looked so mediocre. Wont come back again.
5 Star Review by wendy B
Gr8 meal for the price, $27 plus free drink, steak cooked perfectly and fresh salad, a lovely and very helpful staff member and very wheelchair accessible too, which is rare around Newy Pubs
1 Star Review by Johanna Trainor
The food was terrible - very basic pub food. They did not have half the white wines advertised on the menu. Ended up ordering a beer.
