Well run pub. . The food is above average & tasty The beer is reasonably priced. They told me the rooms are renovated, have not tried yet? ... working in the area occasionally and hard to find accommodation. Coles supermarket is next door , very convenient
5 Star Review by John Fejsa
The steak was cooked to perfection, salad was crisp and delicious, and chips were done to my taste. In addition, staff are always friendly and professional. Great place to stop for dinner and drink or two.

Review for the restaurant: It was a fairly quiet Sunday evening, a group of family was finishing and there were just 2 tables (Inc ours) that ordered food. Ordered via QR code and waited more than 30mins for food to come. Ok maybe it's due to labour shortage so things are a bit slow. However, the quality of the food was poor. Ordered $32 medium rare steak, came as well done with dry boiled veges. Chicken burger was cold, chips weren't hot. Food definitely sat behind the counter for a while. Was anticipating fresh and hot meals after a long wait but very disappointed.

Came for lunch and it was delicious. Everyone in this party of 8 enjoyed their meals. Relaxed open setting. Easy parking at the rear.

1 Star Review by Warren Pfeffer
Food is really average. Meals here used to be very good but not anymore.The nachos had dry stringy beef with very little cheese or cream. The grilled chicken was tasty but had heaps of baby spinach with very little panacea, pumpkin or asparagus. Seems like the chef is cutting corners.
