You’ll always find locals here which, for me, is a good sign! The staff are always incredibly kind and friendly and the food is consistently excellent. I like that they have both mainstream and local beers on tap as it’s great to be able to support local businesses. The beer garden is a great feature and even better when live music is playing. Can’t beat it on an sunny afternoon!Jacki SimminsSeptember 23, 2024Thank you so much for the amazing service, food and hospitality. The rearranging of the dining room to allow for our decorations, the extra tables moved in, the additional props such as the beer barrel and the stunning location and facilities all helped to make the space absolutely perfect to celebrate 90 years of a wonderful woman. Thanks for everything, very much appreciated.Jeanie MenziesSeptember 21, 2024The amazing service their young staff provide is exceptional. All the staff were lovely and professional but we were so impressed by the obviously younger staff. Whatever you are doing should be rolled out as a training lesson!Load more
