Kent Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by MIDLIFE GAPYEAR
We had the $12.50 Schnitzel Special. Nice big Thick Scnitzel , lots of chips and a great salad that has an awesome dressing. If anyone complains about this they are hard to please. The gentleman serving was friendly. The tables clean. The environment friendly and comfortable for people who are not "pub" or crowd people. We had soft drinks they are a little heavy on price for post mix but hey cheap lunch, you can't complain.

Great vegan schnitty and huge vegan burger. My vegan schnitzel with a party topper included "sheese" in my opinion the best mock dairy option on the basis of taste and melting. Our garlic cheese focaccia also had this sheese and was really yummy. My partner enjoyed their vegan burger but the serving size was quite large. Heaps of fries. Wednesday is the new scnitty special night and I'll be back

Would give no stars but have to give 1! Firstly was overcharged! Twice! Had to pick up the $30 error ourselves then get a refund. The Schnitzel was absolutely disgusting! Was like I was eating a packet load of Panko crumb with some white moosh inside! Plus the signage is wrong (apparently its $3.50 more for the potato chats and veg but the sign doesnt say that as per the photo). Staff look sad and depressed mostly the woman it seemed. Was too scared to go back at the time of getting food cos all of it was pretty bad after spending close to $180. Just didnt eat it. Management (lady, wont say name) just said sorry we busy & understaffed (is that an excuse?) was gobsmacked at lack of smile and service, so much flat looking faces, the guy upon entry was the only smile and light of the whole place!

We are here for trivia most Wednesday nights and we all agreed that Alex the barman on Wednesday night (19/10/22) was outstanding. Super friendly, as soon as someone was at the bar he was there. He took extra care pouring our jugs of beer (we all know they can get a bit frothy) which was stayed at the table and overall just great service with a smile thankyou Alex!!
5 Star Review by Contessa Miseria
A dedicated vegan menu brought us here in a visit from Sydney, and wow it didn't disappoint. We had the mushroom steaks, noodle salad, Corn ribs and ginger beer battered artichokes. The mushroom steaks were sensational, as were the corn ribs. The noodles in the salad were a bit hard like they should have been cooked a little longer and the artichoke tasted a bit too vinegary, so I assume it was the type from the jar in vinegar, a rinse should do the trick to remove a bit more of it and it would have been a great dish. All up we were impressed by the creativity of the menu and the effort to make sure vegans are catered for. We will be back!
