We called in for lunch (came on the train from Melbourne) having read the great reviews and it didn\'t disappoint. The ambiance was great, staff very friendly and the food superb. I was particularly pleased with the flavoursome gluten free salt and pepper calamari. I wish we lived closer (we\'re from Adelaide 😁).

Darci the bar person was friendly and great The meal was very good but don't get the tradies meal because it's really a Seniors meal for non seniors. Read the small print on the Tradies menu. Have a great day. The beer was chilled.

We love coming here on a Thursday evening for the trivia....starts at 1930. Nick, the host is hilarious. It\'s a really great atmosphere.
The pub staff are amazing. They always go above and beyond. Renee is awesome. She puts so much effort into decorating the tables for special trivia events. The Christmas tables were amazing.
All the staff are very attentive Darcy, Jake, etc.
The next trivia night is the last Thursday in January.

Stopped in for a casual meal and was pleasantly surprised! The menu had all the pub classics but done really well. I had the pulled pork roll - perfectly crispy, juicy inside, and the chips were golden and seasoned just right. My wife got the beef burger cooked perfectly it came with a good selection of sidesthat was spot on.
The staff were friendly without being overbearing, and the pub itself has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere - not too loud, plenty of space. Good selection of beers on tap too.
Great value for money and generous portions. Will definitely be back - perfect spot for a laid-back meal with mates or family.
