Riverina Hotel reviews
3 Star Review by Kerbray
Typical pub food which was reasonable, although we had to wait quite a while for food when busy (nearly one hour). The food arrived staggered, so some dishes went cold by the time others came out. Staff were friendly nonetheless, salads were nice but the seafood basket could have been better.
4 Star Review by Sharon Theiss
Very busy bistro. We were there early luckily at 6pm. Staff snowed under. Felt very cramped as well. Food was ok my salmon was over cooked.

Every time I travel to Hay, I always grab a great pub meal from here. It's a country pub with friendly service and great meals! They are large and delicious! They have a great setup for their bistro and the venue has been upgraded. Will be back again I n the future.

Only Dinner in Town? Very full, below average. We ordered a grilled Barramundi that was chewy and harder than expected. At some stage, we thought it was rather a Bassa fillet. Maybe it was not freshly grilled. Dissapointing. The second dish ordered was a flathead with chips. It was less fish than batter, but ok. The grilled pork chops were very chewy. The chips were brownish, and a piece of bread with butter was a bit old to be served. The salad was very good, though! Overall, it performs below expectations of a standard hotel dinner. It was very full and despite any stress the staff was very polite. Unfortunately, the lack of good options for dining, it makes Hay unattractive for a future stay.
