Kelso Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Donna White
We had lunch here today. I had Linguine and my husband had crispy pork belly. They were both large meals and were absolutely beautiful. I didnt want to waste my linguine and the friendly kitchen staff were happy to give me a container to bring it home
1 Star Review by Richard Johnson
Had a voucher given to us that expires mid Dec, but when our party of 5 asked about using it they told us we cant as they are no longer taking them due to new ownership. Manager was very rude and didnt want to entertain any discussion, so we left and went elsewhere. Very poor form and will never return. Better hotels in town with better service.

3 Star Review by Ben Irwin
Been going here for years. The kelso was always a great place to take the family for a cheap feed or grab lunch with mates. It changed hands recently. Not sure what the new owners are tring to acheive but the menu has changed, prices have gone up and the food quality has gone down. Very dissapointing. Time to find a new watering hole.....

5 Star Review by Matthew Holden
Fast service, even with a large group. The food is always on the high end of the pub food scale. Highly recommend the Kelso. The playground is also great if you have kids.
