The restaurant is located in a beautiful building, but reviews were mixed. Vegetarians found limited menu options, while some enjoyed the Sunday roast. Some diners felt the food was lacking in quantity and underwhelming, while others praised the excellent service. The Christmas menu received positive feedback, despite some feeling rushed between courses. Many highlighted the friendly and welcoming staff, delicious food, and pleasant atmosphere. Overall, the Puffing Billy is recommended for a warm and tasty dining experience, with a few minor improvements suggested for an even better visit.

After I was a little greedy, I watched everything to complain about everything because a drink was missed by our order. I gave a 3 star review after feeding my toys from my stroller and about the reflexion this pub has great eating, great atmosphere and beautiful staff. Many thanks to all those who have worked very hard at such a busy night and I want to publicly apologize for my original 3star review and would not hesitate to go back 5 stars all over.

We had a lovely Sunday roast at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and we were promptly served. The restaurant was bustling with a pleasant atmosphere, yet it didn't feel overcrowded at all.

I had never visited this restaurant before. It is situated in a pleasant location near the estuary. However, I found the meal to be disappointing and lacking in quantity. The vegetables were undercooked and there was not enough of them. I did not feel that the meal was worth the price. On the positive side, the service was good. Unfortunately, I do not plan on returning to this restaurant.
