Reviews
"This is one of the few places in Sydney doing a “proper” Sunday roast! Great pub, nice atmosphere. We often come in winter when the fire is going. Friendly staff and good service. Kid friendly too. Highly recommended."
"We were looking for a late lunch with nice sunny spot and we found this place which is very good. Old historical building, very tasty pizza 2 for 1 Tuesday, friendly staff, good beer"
"Ok, so first off, service wonderful and faultless. Pleasant upstairs dining room too, unfortunately my table was opp the one external door which as expected in an old building had the coldest of drafts blowing into my legs, meaning I was uncomfortably cold. Ordered their Sunday roast. Very disappointed. The gravy was so full of mustard seeds it was all I could taste and it was like a swimming pool on my plate. Yorkshires were burnt (cleverly on the underside) so were very dry with a bitter after taste. The only vegetables on my plate were onions and beetroot, also swimming in the gravy. A very brown plate. No fresh green vegetables or cauliflower cheese or bright orange carrots as one would expect with a roast that said roasted vegetables. I love roasted beetroot but it can’t be the only vegetable on the plate surely?! Roast potatoes were lovely but as they were sitting in a huge puddle of gravy meant they had no crunch. It would have been better to serve with minimal gravy-if at all and brought the gravy out in a gravy boat thus allowing the diner to decide how much to put on one’s plate. The meat was tender and cooked nicely but over shadowed by the rest of the underwhelming plate of food and covered in so much gravy, yet again mustard seeds was all I could taste. The Brussels had some recognisable flavour but again were over cooked and had more of a burnt flavour than a crunchy crisp flavour which I believe was the idea. Maybe I went in with too high expectations, maybe the chef had a bad day, but this was pretty underwhelming on the verge of unpleasant meal and I’m still picking mustard seats out of my teeth! Such a shame, had high hopes. 5 stars for service but I am afraid it was quickly overshadowed by the awful plate of food served in a swimming pool of gravy."
