Some of the staff require customer service training. Not friendly at all. Not able to smile. Not willing to listen to feedback concerning the food. Unable to show genuine care or interest. Poor customer service completely ruins the experience.

This was our first visit to this place as we now live in the area. We were welcomed with open arms from the bar and restaurant staff. Service came with a smile in a very relaxed atmosphere. Inexpensive drinks followed by an inexpensive meal that was simply delicious. Keep up the good work guys! We will be back.

This is a fabulous Club. The local children all play soccer and we have some good luck in the fixtures. I always see the various teams practising. It is also a great place to exercise and walk your dogs. They provide plastic doggy bags. If you go there please utilise them. The club itself has a great bar which is well patronised by the locals. Plenty of parking. Nice little restaurant - helps to book. Pokies are pretty good. Trivia night. Members cash prize draws. Support your local club. I do.

Our team played Palm Beach and they were very disrespectful and trash talked our club. The coaches seemed perfectly fine with their kids swearing at us.

Had lunch here off the $10 menu. My nachos was a good size and very tasty. My friend had the schnitzel and it was big. Sauce on the side at no extra cost!! Definitely eat there any time I am in town.
