Play Pokies at The Lockleys Hotel

Noisy but enjoyable, construction going on which we knew about before we booked. Friendly staff, great food. Appreciated the open fire ðŸ"¥

I went there with a friend on schnitzel night and I got a chicken schnitzel and he got a beef. The first bite it tasted weird and I thought it's off or most likely undercooked. I was thinking of asking staff to redo it but didn't but my friend also felt his beef schnitzel tasted a bit weird too. We ate it all and left but felt like I should ring them and let them know and see what they could do about it. Apparently nothing because I didn't let them know at the time but I didn't want confrontation and send a meal back only to get something worse and a big drama on a date. You know I think the least they could do is give us one each on the house. I wouldn't be ringing up the next day if it was fine so a bit disappointed and most likely will not go back or recommend to others

The hotel catered well for a large crowd of people. Food was brought out close together.

The standard sized chicken parmigiana, chips, salad and additional vegetables cost $36 which is not cheap. It's good they have the option for a half schnitzel at a lesser price (about $5 cheaper). A plain schnitzel, chips and salad is a good price, so too the specials of the day which includes a 250g steak on Monday for about $22. The senior meals must be good value because the seniors were happy.

My food was Luke warm but the crowd of 40 was unusual so that's forgivable. Taste was fine. Vegetables clearly from bain mariee and with a butter sauce.

We ordered two of the same (chicken parmigiana) and shared them with our 1 and 3 year old. There was plenty to share. We got one dessert (sticky date pudding and icecream) for our children to share, but it was too much for them, so we had a good amount each as well.
We didn't realise there was a kids meal option with a drink and dessert included. Still, our method was slightly cheaper. Kids meals are best for those 4 years plus from what I've observed, when they have more of an appetite.

Plenty of room for little ones. We brought toys and they played near the table.
I'd obviously rate this hotel higher if they had a playground or playspace with toys available.

Worth a visit for a crowd.

Poor servce and attitude during closing seems everyone is already exhausted and just wanna finished their duties that led to confusion of orders and some negligence with food safety. Wont post the photo of it.But I think the staff and crew should come up a retraining before they can work and practice good attitude after the renovations Thanks to the Manager for being apologetic.
By then hopefully I can recommend the place no offense meant just my opinion and suggestion.✌️

I don't like this place. I hate the fact that they manipulated people into gambling. I think places like this should be banned. So sorry people are not seeing what gambling is doing to Australian citizens! And bring your kids to this kind of environment should be prohibited! I know you don't really see the pokies but gambling product placement is everywhere in this place. Be a good citizen and stop supporting places like this!
