Tarana Hotel reviews
1 Star Review by Michael Dixon
I've eaten here several times. Good points: it's a great community pub, staff always friendly and welcoming, worth dropping in for a drink. Food? I have some issues. Quality is lower than it should be. My scotch fillet steak was gristly and small, overcooked on the outside, pink strip inside (order was for medium-rare). Tough. Probably quickly defrosted in the microwave before cooking. But, $38 for that steak and chips? Astonishing. I pay less in Sydney pubs. I've checked with a few people, this is not an isolated issue. Pub has recently changed hands, they are advertising for a chef. Improvements are expected. I'll report back.

Great country hotel. Over looking the railway lines. Well worth a trip. Cabins and caravan parking for over night stays, Staff very friendly, large selection of beer and wine, food is priced well and very tasty. Highly recommend trying the home made pizza. Thanks for your hospitality and look forward to visiting again.
