We only ended up here due to a rude encounter at another venue. So glad that happened. The food here was absolutely amazing!!!! Strongly suggest the prawn tacos and the convenience of the cocktail jugs was really handy. Great atmosphere with live music!!

If you're in Cessnock and looking for a fantastic spot for lunch or dinner, this place is a must-visit! We tried a bit of everything, and all the dishes were delicious. Especially impressive were the roasted cauliflower, gnocchi, and beef cheek - absolutely amazing!

The beer was cold, the customer service was good, and the meal overall was decent. The Thai beef salad could use more beef, but it was still tasty. I plan on returning to see if the beef portion improves so that it lives up to the name of Thai 'beef' salad.

Two pictures attached. There is a modest selection of Asian options along with traditional roasts This place is no stand out but pretty good value and tasty foods. Drink prices also very reasonable.

I think they need to up their game and starting tasting their food before serving to the customers. Very disappointing

Definately not a bad place to stay for the weekend, can vouch for that read more Hahah this place livens up the stillness of the Hunter valley Region at night :D!!

The restaurant is clean and service is helpful. There is a good range of food. There are salads including a very nice seafood salad. A couple of soup options. There is a roast section. When we were there the roast ham was lovely. There is a range of vegetables including cauliflower cheese. Hot dishes included butter chicken, lasagna, a lamb curry, baked fish etc. There is a Chinese section with a couple of noodle dishes, sweet and sour pork, a chicken and beef dish as well dim sim honey chicken etc There was also fried fish and chips, spring rolls, battered crab sticks. Desserts were both hot and cold including bread and butter pudding, panacotta, trifle. Enough for everyone to find something they liked. Dishes were fresh and continually topped up - no cold unappetizing dishes. Popular venue with a good turnover. There was iced water and tea and coffee included in the price. Lunch is very reasonable for seniors it was $13.50 and $14.80 adults. Parking is easy.

Apparently there's less on offer (mainly no seafood) for the dinner menu as opposed to the full buffet for lunch... but that suited us, (wouldn't have eaten the seafood anyway).Selection of Chinese dishes, roasts and vegetables/salads and nice desserts, tea and coffee. There was plenty of food, the service was friendly and the price was very cheap considering.A few negatives included waiting for quite a while to find a staff member to carve the roast meat and the stack of clean plates didn't appear to be that clean... or maybe they had just discoloured and scratched due to age(?)For the price paid and the selection available, the 'Half-Buffet' Dinner is worth a try!
