5 Star Review by dean callaghan

Great little pub. It was like we stepped back in time. The craft beers were cold and lovely and the live band was an experience.

5 Star Review by Allison Golsby

1850s and nice to stop by the river. Quiet and good for our morning stop on our journey. Live music on the week ends.

4 Star Review by Jacqui McKenzie

Lovely historic pub. The food was delicious, notably the beef pie is worth the drive.

A quaint place! Small, secretive and always beautiful!

5 Star Review by Gemma Mann

Had lunch here on a Friday while staying at Del Rio Resort up the road. I had the pie and my husband had the pork belly. My goodness was it yum and very generous portion sizes. We were served by a very charismatic lady behind the bar and received our food quite fast considering the limited staff members. Very old world feel to the place, really enjoyed seeing the striking peacocks and chooks running about.

4 Star Review by Clodoaldo Prado

Settlers Arms Inn is a picturesque in St. Albans that is our mandatory stop when we are riding push bikes (lots of motobikers also stop there) in that area. They have a good variety of beers (Sydney Brewery) and the plates I already had there were always delicious (a little bit over priced though). It's a perfect go to spot in a sunny afternoon. Unfortunately the owners are currently selling the place. Hopefully the new management wi keep the good service.

1 Star Review by theBaron001

Not sure if they were having a bad day when we stopped in there this week. It was packed but only seemed to be two staff working, was 1hour 20 minutes between ordering and food arriving, and when it did arrive one of the meals had a ball of gladwrap cooked into it which had to be sent back. Given that and the high prices it's hard to recommend unfortunately.
