We had a lovely evening! The steak was delicious cooked just the way I like it and I'm very fussy! The service was friendly and efficient! The view of the mighty Clarence River is stunning!
Thank you, Jack, for welcoming us to the Tavern! I appreciated your suggestions on what I should order!

This is restaurant quality food. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Well worth the detour off the main highway. Camped out the back on grass with power.

I had lunch at the tavern today with a large group booking, in addition to the usual Saturday trade. Meals are great and despite the big crowd the wait was still reasonable. The grilled chicken breast with bacon and Camembert was delicious. Add in the view of the river. Thoroughly recommend this pub.

Best all round pub meal's my wife and I have had yet. Good cheap van parking out the back but, be quick , first in best dressed.

Fantastic atmosphere and meals. Staff were very friendly and amenities very clean.
Camped out the back in self contained van. Excellent value and a great night with friends

We have a big group on Saturday lunch here and the food was tasty with reasonable price, very busy but we didn't wait that long , also nice country style setting, I would come back for sure??

Food destinations Northern NSW do not disappoint,wonderfully drive out from Yamba hidden in the cane field are these pubs crossed over on a ferry into Lawrence, the food is country on the Clarance River oysters scallops to steaks just a great Sunday drive with a rewarding lunch by the river

Had the chicken with bacon, avocado and prawns and partner had the special salmon. These are simply the best meals we have both had, ever. Many places fry salmon leaving it dry, overcooked and oily. This was cooked properly for salmon, poached and perfectly cooked. Staff were friendly and attentive. They had signs up saying don't disrespect staff etc. How could you do that when the staff are so nice? My only complaint is at the bar, the horsewhipping was quite audible, despite only one or two paying attention. Perhaps the people that didn't win watching little people with squeaky voices whipping horses were the ones causing trouble. Also, children were allowed unaccompanied in the bar that had the horse whipping. This breaches licensing laws. As a mature society, most people hate seeing and hearing horses being whipped. Perhaps mute the animals being whipped. Will recommend and come back.

Too good not to share. Even though I selfishly want to keep this gem to myself!
Ferry ride over the Clarence was cute and short. Run's 24/7
Food was really great. I got lucky and arrived on the $12 Gourmet Burger night Tuesday. Excellent value for money and very tasty. I had the bbq pulled pork & slaw & Miss Lilly had the chicken, bacon, salad and Camembert. Both came beautifully presented with side of chips. Really friendly staff made me & my date for the night, my pup Lilly, very welcome.
There's about a dozen vans and campers here at the moment room for more maybe 2 more on the grassed area... but we are fairly spread out. 2 showers and a toilet unisex. Very clean and a book exchange -$10/night What more could you want?
I give this stop over a 10/10.
What a way to start a road trip! I'll be back on the return trip for sure.

Absolutely worth the drive from Casino NSW.For a beautiful lunch.We will be back

Stay behind the Lawrence Tavern on lush green grass, amongst the trees.
The unisex facilities are cleaned to sparkling by John. Toilets, shower, power and a book exchange for those inclined.
The drive here past cattle, sheep, sugar cane and corn was wonderful after hours of hwy.
A delight to find this place

Very nice pub located near the clarence river. Very busy when we went but still managed to get a table. The food was delicious and the drinks were cold. Highly recommend and not far off the highway if you want to take a more scenic route.

The food was fantastic and staff not only very busy,but effective in managing the sunday rush of customers.

Great food and near the river. Great trip over on ferry. Worth the trip.

Food was excellent nice menu and cooked spot on. Staff were friendly and helpful

Good meals and Canadian club on tap made this an enjoyable lunch!

Yum!
Take away only when I was there, and I think it's better to phone ahead to check out the opening hours.

We arrived for lunch and sat outside under cover with gas heaters . Very nice. I enjoyed Chicken Parmagiana. It came with salad and chips. All very tasty. Even the salad was delicious which is not always the case in some restaurants. I would recommend the Tavern to everyone.

Food was of its usual high standard, except it was not hot. Disabled access is nonexistant. There is also no lock on the Disabled toilet which is also a Mother's room. Hope to see improvements all round.

Great little Tavern.
Award winning meals.
Donation camping out back with toilets. showers.power and water.
Fishing across the road.

Good food, drinks and great staff. Relaxed atmosphere and a comfortable environment.

Sunday night is special at the Lawrence Tavern, they make woodfired pizza - absolutely delicious!! The rest of the week has a varied menu, no less enjoyable. A very relaxed atmosphere with friendly and efficient staff.

One of the best pub lunches I've had in a long while. Well managed and well presented. I'll be back...

Not a bad place in general, very hospitable and good food, BUT (and it's a BIG but):

One would think that a pub located on the biggest river on the east coast, with trawlers and a huge fishing industry, the Lawrence Tavern would do good fish and seafood dishes?

The choice of inexpensive fresh or cooked seafood on their menu is very, very disappointing. Really, instead of mimicking typical pub grub that can be got at any pub in Australia, they should raised the bar a bit and make use of their location and local abundant resources.

Thanks a wonderful tavern.

Wonderful find, flat grass area for camping and quiet but limited space, tarmac road all the way. $10 per night for 2 adults including showers and toilets. Food at the pub is fantastic service just as good. Very good value and great selection on the menu.
Wonderful country pub ?
