The servings were generous and all the staff were lovely to deal with.

The beef fillet was good, but not spectacular I was told. The scallop entree there was way too much chorizo crumb, so much so the scallop was very raw and bland. Service at Athelstane has room for improvement. Either they are not attentive or there needs to be more staff. Nobody checked in with us. We waited so long for the dessert menu, we gave up left.

Athelstane House has been a regular favorite of ours for breakfast for many years, however last Sunday we were extremely disappointed. Breakfast is advertised 8-11 daily, we arrived at 10.40am, seated ourselves on the verandah, hunted down the menu's, found a waitress to place our order and were told Kitchen is closed for breakfast, and this was all before 11.00am. Admittedly it was the Music festival weekend, and they could have been busier earlier however there was only one other group of people finishing off coffee on the verandah when we arrived. I just don't understand why advertise breakfast until 11.00am when they don't really want to serve you. Unfortunately we won't be returning
