Went there for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Interior was spacious and well laid out. Had the ribs which were super yummy. Definitely go back.

We hosted our Ivy Training Christmas Party at in Terrace of the Willoughby Hotel and it was absolutely perfect. The platters were a hit, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. One bartender in particular, Jack, went above and beyond and made our event amazing. He was charismatic, customer service driven, and was even remembering people by name! Highly recommend the Willoughby Hotel for any event or function (especially if you get Jack behind the bar)!
5 Star Review by Alec Deimos
Ive been coming to this pub since I was 8. My dad would bring me in for dinner and I when I hit 18 I started drinking here. The hotel has been a home away from home and a place I can go to and feel great. As the liscencee Lisa has done such a great job of showing her locals that we are a family that can belong here. In my time Ive seen bartenders come and go but one constant is the customer service level. Most of the time I come in just to see that smile when I get poured a fresh Carlton. No matter if Im having the best of days or the worst. I know I can count on the brown dog to cheer me up or keep me cheerful. Ive never had an altercation or fight here. Every staff member and every local are so respectful and its a priveldige to have such a great place as my local. This hotel is not a place that just kicks you out if youve had too much. The team show empathy/sympathy and care and if you have had too much they will look after you and get you waters, check in on you and in some cases make sure you get home safe. It really is a family to me that I can count on no matter what Im going through and thats something not only I but many many people have spoken about. Ive made so many great friendships through this hotel and Im a better person for it. Thanks for being my home away from home team. Keep up the great work
