I got the chicken burger and it had an off smell when I got it but was also almost over cooked so decided to eat it. Felt like I was going to get food poisoning but luckily I didn't.. the whole experience was just a bit sketchy though! For $24 I just felt like I wasn't getting value for money and, yea I had concerns over the quality of cooking. Review from an impartial diner!

Great authentic english pub with good food and a variety of meals. Prices are reasonable and portions are fair. Range of salads and western food. Staff are nice and friendly. Close walk to Hyde park and near sydney city offices perfect for team lunch or drinks afterwork. Online order option via an app made it alot easier and quicker.

Friendly service. Nicely chilled IPA on tap. Chicken burger was outstanding. Everything very fresh and most importantly, cooked to order. Highly recommended.

One of the last old-school style pubs in the CBD. Been coming here for 15 years and it always has a welcoming feel. The menu has steadily improved over the years with a mix of classic Aussie pub meals like burgers and schnitzel as well as more modern options. Tap beers are cold and fresh making this a great spot for a weekday lunch or to catch up for drinks after work. Only 2 minutes from Town Hall station.
