We immediately felt uncomfortable at this pub, while there was some beauty to be found in the vintage decor that's where it ends. Nobody was around for service 30 minutes prior to our lunch booking despite being open so we left to return at lunch. Unfriendly and apathetic staff service, observed them leaving patrons waiting long periods to order despite not being busy. Our order with simple requests completely ignored, I wanted to omit salad for the roast vegetables, was charged extra which is fine but received them with my entree. My partner also requested no salad with extra chips instead, also ignored. Clearly poor communication with the kitchen. Gravy was lumpy with an odd taste, even our lemon lime and bitters was sad, just don't bother peeps.

Stopped at this pub for lunch on our holiday travelling through because the reviews and photos of the food looked amazing. We entered the pub at the same time as two other fellas. The place was open but deserted, not a soul. The other two fellas left immediately. I wish we had as well. After singing out for someone, we were served by the most unenthusiastic, sour bar attendee I have come across in a long time. We orded the same meal that I'd seen in the google reveiws and two beers. Our beer was fine, but as the first and only patrons there for lunch, our meal took forever to come and despite an apology for the delay, our meal arrived and I was instantly disappointed. The linguini pasta was way overcooked and cut into tiny pieces, there was far too much sauce, there was a mountain of super fine grated Parmaesan cheese on top which instantly melted and made the entire meal a gluey gluggy mess. It was horrible and cost . Not happy Jan. Never returning. I'm still burping from the gastronomic disaster. Ergh.

The local rock lobster is the best! With cream sauce! Super yummy!
Ordered a second plate after finishing one😆.

We were staying next door at the motel so decided to stop on a Sunday night for dinner. Service was great, nice cold beer, Cape Jaffa Sauvignon Blanc was lovely. But the FOOD!!! Wow!!! We shared a whole cooked crayfish with garlic butter and a seafood linguine and both were perfect, cannot fault the food at all. We are not local and travel a lot for work, and both agree that for the quality the pricing was very fair. We will definitely stop again if in town!

I had dinner at the Royal Mail hotel a couple of days ago...great food, great service!
The staff really went above and beyond... I left my sunnies behind and one of the staff ran over and returned it when I must have been over 500m away from the restaurant ... Pretty sure that counts as top notch service... Thanks guys!
