Just had absolutely the best pub steak meal since I've been home in NZ(3 years)..Up there with a very exclusive steak restaurant I've eaten at in Perth that is 3 times more expensive. 10/10..well done..beautiful steak,perfect chips and an actual proper salad with tomato,cucumber, onion,feta and lettuce with a nice dressing.

Cold steak sandwich and fake Calamari rings, poor quality food and expensive beer. Don’t waste your time.

Appalling wait times 50minutes between first and last meal. Food was over salted, over cooked, couldn't even cut cutlery or water.
