After our first day trip out in the country side after lockdown we were all hungry before our drive home. Just by chance we pulled into here to find the carpark pretty full. Were seated and told dinner was about a 35 minute wait as they were pretty full. It was well worth the wait. Food was generous and tasty. Service was informative, friendly and helpful. Hotel looked like it has been very recently renovated, was clean and fresh. Great venue, food and service!

We went here with a group of 25 people for my sons 18th birthday for dinner. I had the $42 mixed grill, the egg was rubber, the steak was fatty and cold, the bacon was over cooked. It put me off my food so I took it back and complained the young lady was great but I was already put off the meal then later when I was spoken to by the older lady I was told if you don't like the food just don't come back. So I recommend to find a better place to eat

Beautiful building with a spacious comfortable layout, gorgeous views, food was great and not overly expensive. And the service was friendly and engaging. Thanks for making us feel welcome and comfortable. Parking was easy and plentiful, and it's easy to find at the junction there.

Great service and food. Beer garden is looking good. Lunch for 2 on a Friday. Husband said the steak was good and my flatty tails were nice too, (would suggest a little less oil in the batter) will definitely be back.
