To start with the meals were good, but to be told by one staff member to hurry up an order as we were already 15 mins late. This was at 6.45 and our booking was for 6.30, then she came to our table and gave us a lecture on our to make our booking next year. (A group of friends have been meeting there every year on the first Tuesday of Dec for annual catch-up for approx 25 years) according to this young lass you must have to order your meal as soon as you walk inMust say we all felt disrespected

It's newly renovated, the rooms have everything you need and it's clean, comfortable and even comes with free Netflix! What's not to love.

I came in recently on a rare trip to Launceston from Hobart. It is very family friendly with the excellent play area. My young son has a severe allergy to egg. Upon questioning if there was anything on the kids menu that was egg free, we discovered none of it was safe for him to have. The chef offered to cook him anything from the main menu as a kids meal, and he chose the grilled fish which he loved. Such amazing service. My chicken parmy was delicious also. We will definitely come back.

Nice venue if you like gambling.
Waiting Staff were very rude. So it started on a negative note. Food was quite nice and typical pub fare. Snitzels etc.

Food took a long time to get to the table when it did it wasn't overly hot . I had the stake very tuff and no stake knife. Also I didn't get asked what gravey I wanted they just gave me pepper gravey .so I would not recommend them.

The bedding was very poor, only 1 spare (exceptionally thin) blanket. The bed had 2 sheets and another very thin blanket on it. We froze all night even with the one and only spare blanket. The beds need a doona and maybe an electric blanket on them. Cost of the room was very good value, the room was well appointed aside from the lack of bedding.
