Ordered the was linguine carbonara with chicken breast. As you can see by the photo that the pile of bacon was crazy. So salty tried to salvage the meal. But no luck
Pasta over cooked.
Not nice at all
For the bargain price of 35.00.
When they picked up our plates to take to kitchen not a polite word how was your meal nothing.
Won't be back.

My family waited about an hour if not more for the food, my sisters nachos didn't even come with the meat she asked for, my fish was dry and the chips were cold. The man on the phone when I was booking double checked if my family wanted to sit near the kids play area, and I was confused as to why he wanted to confirm until I was sitting there for over an hour with about 25+ kids screaming and running around. Do not come here at peak hour, they are clearly understaffed and there is so much noise.

$35.00 for an oily, overcooked, inedible Parma. Hands down the worst iv ever had. Wouldn't feed it to my dog. Came with a serve of cold chips. Bowl of salad was ok. The other meals at the table were complained about for their poor quality as well. But, I didn't try any of them.

Ask for the Vegan Menu! 😊🌱 very generous vegan share platter. Plant based schnitzel was very different to the usual vegan chick'n (which I prefer) but was nicely accompanied by the vegetable ratatouille. Sadly no fried tofu available on our visit which meant not all vegan dishes could be catered for. Service was great which made for a pleasant experience

Mains meals are fantastic in variety and taste as well as value. Unfortunately the starters are as bad as I've seen . Below is $17.50 worth of duck rolls with sweet and sour. Buffalo wings and calamari cost more and portions are even smaller. Mains, good...starters , avoid at all cost. Also taking away empty glasses seems to be outof fashion. Very good venue and atmosphere though

Have enjoyed dining on several occasions at Tempy Pub. The food variety and quality is great with lots of healthier options. I was super impressed with the service when I dined with my extended family, a group of 17 people on the Sunday before Christmas. The pub was at capacity and we still managed to get our meals in a timely manner. Staff are friendly and are great at making adjustments to meals. Would highly recommend for large groups and groups with children also.

We stopped by for a rest and refreshments on our travel through the area. Great views of surrounding area. Ample parking too.
Very friendly staff and quick service.
Clean and ample restrooms.
Only downfall, elevator not working so a bit hard on the legs and back for the oldies like me.
We didn't eat but the dishes passing by looked very appetising, we'll make an effort to stop for diner next time in town.

Disappointed
A $50 steak should be reasonable at best.
I asked the lovely lady who served me if she could ask the chef what cut of meat he/she would recommend.
(No options under $45)
She went back to ask the chef and the 20 year old manager stopped her and came out and tried to explain what the cuts of meat were about with his vast experience and knowledge

The rib eye is juicy but a bit smaller
The porterhouse is a bit bigger
The rump is if you are really hungry.

The lady who took my order (who was absolutely lovely) apologised and said that she was not allowed to talk to the chef

$50 steak
Not happy Jan

Great menu with lots of variety, catered for dietary for one us and we're super helpful, pool tables are in good order and at $2 good value, good range of beers, what more can be said??'?🏼 I have to say my Parma was huge and amazing, I opted for the three pigs Parma with chorizo and bacon, I did change the barbeque sauce for Napoli but next level, bold statement as I have had alot of parmas in alot of places but it was unbelievable, the guys who ate my left overs agreed, one of the best parmas in Australia ??'?🏼🍻 everyone was happy with the meals, except Bolognese but who gets that at a pub except kids πŸ™ˆ will definitely be back to see what the rest of the menu is like 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 was definitely earned

Great place for a group function. Plenty of parking and the staff are really friendly. Food is great and portions are big. The beer is cold and the drinks plentiful. I would highly recommend coming here for a night out with family and friends. The staff are fantastic.

We dined on the spur of the moment heading home to our accommodation
Such a lovely looking pub with great reviews and a good looking menu too ??'?🏻
Husband ordered the grilled Barra and I put a twist on Carbonara with homemade gnocchi ...should be good
I had considered the Veal Scallopini but on ordering I thought a change was nearly as good as a holiday πŸ˜‰
Shortly after ordering a guy comes to our table to advise the kitchen wasn't happy with the gnocchi this evening so would I like to change to spaghetti or maybe fettuccine
Well somewhat disappointed I chose fettuccine ...and yes not only was the fettuccine in hard clumps but the saucy carbonara had split and was like pools of oil in my meal
I tolerated for a few mouthfuls but it really wasn't very palatable so I spoke to a server and was happily able to change my meal ...yes I had the Veal Scallopini ...which was delicious ...thankfully

Came here tonight. Great atmosphere and the waiter and waitress were very good and friendly. Carbonara looked and tasted great. Unfortunately the chicken parmigiana was undercooked but management and the kitchen were very quick to rectify the situation, returning with a steak sandwich. Would certainly come here again.

Food came out over 30mins so we didn't eat together. Specifically ordered gluten free butter chicken for a ceoliac. When it eventually came it after eating almost an hour it had wheat naan bread with it. My partner ate some of the rice and has been very sick since. Told the staff and they didn't care. Terrible service.

Called in for lunch on the run. The food was actually very good!
We probably shouldn't have eaten our meals in the sporting room as the atmosphere was terrible. Next time, we will check out the bistro.

Food review: Atmosphere was nice, felt like the decor had splashes of updates. But some of it felt like it is aging.

The seafood basket was good, crispy seafood and decent salad. Felt it was on the pricier end. Wanted to order the ribs special but they sold out.

Staff were friendly enough.

Nice sports bar with 2 pool tables!
Food was average only :(
Chicken in the butter chicken was a bit over cooked...
Chicken Parma was meh...
Can't go wrong with Somersby apple cider!
Good cake and ice cream selection!
Heard there's indoor playground for kids!

We waited one and half hours for our meal to arrive. I asked for a medium to well done steak but it was rare! I never complain about a meal but this was the worst meal I've ever had at a hotel.
It was the Surf and Turf $50.

The worst warm chicken salad I have had, i got a quarter of chicken fillet on mine and that is being generous, the rest of the bowl was spinach leaves with 3 olives and some cheese.
Family members had the parma, that looked delicious and they were both happy with it

Parma was good but considering it's Father's Day so pretty busy they put several day old so called roast potatoes on the plate- they were pretty bad. Golden rule: you can't re-cook spuds from the previous day/S and people won't like them. Roast Potatoes must be cooked on the day.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff, menu with an abundance of choice to suit all food requirements, coffee cake deals and not to forget their very own distillery over the bar. Next time we're back in Melbourne, we'll be sure to stop by The Tempy!

Pleasant atmosphere, good service and dishes were traditional and tasted reasonable. It was spacious and we could hear each other talk easily unlike many noisy and crowded restaurants.

Hotel has had a make over and looks bright and fresh as a result. The buffet has gone and a new menu introduced with senior pricing added instead of a separate seniors menu. The food was delivered to the table quickly and the super checked with us to make sure we were happy. We were. Noticed there is now a small seating area in the pokies, handy when waiting for the gamblers to finish. Only disappointment is the bar stools in the main bar smoking area. A great place to catch up with friends or family for a meal.

After dining here tonight with the family of 8, I can honestly say I will never return. Trust me I understand we are still in a pandemic and I understand more than most the restrictions on hospitality. The service tonight was beyond disgusting. We were advised of the 1.5 hour seating, which we understood. What I didn't understand was why our plates were removed with food still on them, some of us still eating, at the one hour 10 minute mark. We were then confronted with abuse by the manager on leaving at the 1.5 hour mark. After spending $300 for a below average meal, where they forgot meals, then receiving abuse, I have come home filled with anxiety and disappointment after what should have been a nice night. The entire place had 28 people in the restaurant, with the sign on the door advising they could have 75. This is not a place to go if you want either a decent meal, or staff that will provide basic hospitality. As we eat out 3-4 times a week, we will now be looking for a regular place that understands how to treat customers without abuse.
