Rosstown Hotel - Carnegie

The front bar of this restaurant is nicely designed and quiet, while the back TAB bar has a well-planned layout with a spacious outdoor area. The bar staff are friendly and attentive, and the establishment is always clean with newspapers available for customers to read and relax. The restaurant is bustling on Sunday afternoons, although I have not tried the food myself. However, the prices for drinks are very high - $20 for 4 pots of Carlton is considered standard by some, but I personally find it too expensive. Additionally, the large pokies room filled with people engrossed in the screens is off-putting to me, as I believe gambling machines like these are harmful to society. Overall, it's not a bad place to spend an hour, but I would recommend visiting a small cafe in the area instead to enjoy a beer for the same price and take in the sights of Carnegie.

Thank you, Rosstown Hotel! I celebrated my 30th birthday with you more than 15 years ago, have enjoyed several meals at your restaurant, and most recently brought residents from the aged care facility where I work to dine with you (we will be returning in January). Today, you prepared our Christmas lunch, offering us a variety of delicious options. Your staff were friendly and accommodating, and your kitchen staff and chefs were exceptional. Despite the busy day, everyone worked efficiently and with a positive attitude. From our table near the kitchen, we observed the skillful and coordinated efforts of your team with admiration. I could see the sense of accomplishment once the main service was finished - a job well done! Thank you and Merry Christmas! You all deserve a well-earned rest and celebration with your loved ones.

Food is generally good. Large portions. HOWEVER, there is no waiter service; all food and drinks must be ordered separately by going up to the bar. For the prices they charge, this is ridiculous. Also, they refuse to provide containers so you can take home what you don't eat. Also ridiculous. Cannot recommend on this basis alone.

This review is for The Rosstown restaurant and bar, which also has a pokies gaming area. Even on a Monday afternoon, The Rosstown can be bustling with people enjoying lunch. The staff in the dining area are very attentive and clearly enjoy their job, without being pushy. The layout design is modern and sleek, with fireplaces at each end, reminiscent of other pubs in the area. The food is delicious, but be aware that the portions are very generous, even on salads. It's best to order a few dishes to share with a large group of friends, so you can try a variety of offerings. Alternatively, they have lighter meal options that are cheaper. The downside is the prices, as they are a bit higher than what you would expect for a pub, with most main meals priced between $30 and $35. However, considering the decor and the variety of options on the menu to suit all tastes, it's forgivable. One highlight during my visit was the dessert menu, which had a wide array of choices for those with a sweet tooth, such as panna cotta, sticky date pudding, waffles, and churros. Yum!

Visit here all the time for the Parma. The best Parma in the town hands down. Rest of menu is pretty large quantities. Expensive for pub grub. But as I said a must for Parma lovers
