Bennett Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Greg Hodson
Week I have to say I never knew this pub existed and was taken the my manager of Newcastle Brew Shop and his wife. We had a small team meeting then we tucked in to some tucker. Well once again I very impressed with the food at this great venue. I also noted that there are some excellent beers I could definitely go there for a session of beer, food, and a punt on the horses. I would call this a good day out. To all the staff at The Bennett Hotel keep up the good work and the service you should be proud of your staff.

Thursday afternoon was a great time for a quiet drink outside. Really lovely with hearing & covers. By dinner time it was hopping with a free fun raffle that patrons spun the wheel. The restaurant was busy. We didn't eat, but the food looked good.

3 Star Review by Craig Dalton
Good pub, but beware of trivia nights if you are booking a social event - trivia questions broadcast across the pub - including into the beer garden where we were having a farewell get together.
4 Star Review by John Mostyn
Good variety of beers on tap and good spots inside and out to catch up
