This place is genuinely welcoming. The young American waitress from Seattle was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was amazing; I've never seen such a huge burger, and the Ballan grill was delicious. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Charming country pub with fantastic staff and delicious food—what more could I ask for? Every time we visit, we choose a different dish, and so far, everything has been perfect. I'm quite picky, so that's high praise!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed, reminiscent of traditional pubs—no gaming machines or distractions. The Parma was fantastic, generously topped with cheese and tomato, accompanied by hand-cut chips and a salad featuring the best aioli I've ever tasted. Next time, I'm definitely going to try the fish and chips, which looked amazing as well. Thanks, everyone, for a truly great lunch!
