Seriously the best Chicken Schnitzel I have ever had. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and lovely and buttery.
4 Star Review by Anthony Tam
Wished the menu was more Irish, couldnt find a stew, but the chicken schnitty was crunchy and tender! Great atmosphere, good for lads and kids with the beer garden and playground equipment.

4 Star Review by David Mapletoft
One of the few good meals Ive had this year. Well balanced ingredients; good portion without being the usual Australian enormous; despite a big crowd able to have a conversation with my companion. Id eat here again.
3 Star Review by Paula Hays
Was a nice place but we were booked till 6pm but we're told that we had to vacate the table 5.45 as they had other bookings we ask for the table till 6pm as we had Birthday cake to come after everyone had eaten. We left the table and went outside to the garden area and around 6.30 pm the table was still vacant so there was no need to rush us off the table as that was the main concern as we were rushed to vacate the table
