Good pub venue but maybe under staffed, slow meal and the "special" pork schnitzel was paper thin, well over cooked and like a piece of rubber, I'm sure just a bad night and will adjust the review next time

We arrived 10 minutes before kitchen closed and were served promptly. Food came out fast while it was still relatively busy. Staff are really friendly which is awesome. The sweet potato wedges were super tasty and crunchy. Seafood basket cooked well. Great place with plenty of space indoors and out for a no fuss dinner. Pretty good pub type food at an OK price ($$$ out of 5). One of the better places to go for a pub meal.
