Very very nice food, plus great service. However not very warm I have 4 serviettes on my knee to keep the draught away.

Very disappointed since the revamp. Had to ask what the roast of the day was plus if there were any specials. I ordered the burger and it came with items that weren't listed as ingredients also didnt get the side sauces i asked for. Had to wait a long time after being seated for the menu. Out of the 3 meals ordered the vegetable stack was the most liked.
Unlikely to return, which is sad due to being a long term customer.

The service here was fantastic. Especially Emily and her wait staff were very helpful. The surrounds were very clean and well maintained. Meal was great as well. Worth giving it a go.

Some staff have been very nice in there and let you sit after you play the pokies .But the atmoshere of the pokies in there is depressing really .Its like a good vibe and family restaurant ,then theres the pokies open for all to see and the two areas dont mix.Go for the food and coffee but not for gaming.

Service was not good we ordered three courses, and they all came out at the same time. Then they offered us a discount for the confusion but then come time to pay they didnt honour the discount.

Recent updates make this pub much better than before. Lots of seating areas good food in bar and bistro and beers at reasonable prices!

Pretty good food. Newly renovated in the usual bland, featureless manner, but at least the pokies are hidden away from dining room and bar.

Parma was ok, my partner tried the london burger was really bad was so massive it was hard to eat not that that is usaully a bad thing but the bun was all sogging from the raw egg, gristle through out the burger and the onion was said to be caramelized but was just slightly cooked salad onion and the menu didnt mention the bacon was smoked either, I might have just ordered something else instead if it didnt take nearly an hour for our food to come out 15mins after we had sat down we watched a table be seated, order, get their bread rolls then their meals and by the time we had I meals that table were leaving, when I went up to ask where our meals were and if we could grab some bread rolls they told us they were out of bread rolls which was disappointing because we watch the waitress giving bread rolls to other just seated tables after we had ordered, this was really disappointing nobody spoke with us about the wait on food or attended to us during that time, we usually always come in just for decent pub parma and bolonaise( which has been taken off the menu as a main for some reason) and the food and service is usaully pretty good tonight was terrible I wouldn't complain if it was decent pub prices but my partner paid $24 for a burger he couldnt eat we could have got a better burger for nearly have the price, unfortunately wont be coming back.

Not the most pleasant place. Ordered the fish and it smelled off. Don't know when they get deliveries or how they store it but not a good way to run things. When we sent it back the "chef" was angry and argumentative. Never again.

Not great to be honest since I last dined there.
The menu has drastically shrunk and there is not a lot of variety. Food seems expensive for the combination of the quality and the quantity of food served but it was ok.
I would probably go to the bar with friends for drinks in the future but I wouldn't be in a rush for a main meal anytime soon.

Nice local hotel. Pokies and bistro. Food selection not bad. Could to advertise their offerings a little better and could also offer incentive to regulars playing the pokies to incorporate more of a food offering as well as playing the pokies. Need to offer customers a little more value.

It's actually called Camden House (the bistro/restaurant) a choice of 4 or 5 beers on tap, the Furphy Refreshing Ale was very refreshing. It hot the spot. The menu is similar to most restaurants in pubs. A mix of steaks, chicken and fish dishes with a few pasta dishes for vegetarians. I had the Wagu burger. You can't really ruin a burger. It was good. Although I'm not sure why people do Wagu burgers. It seems to me to negate the Wagu characteristics.
Friends had barramundi, chicken parmigiana and one vegetarian had gnocchi. The sauce was nice and fresh shaved parmesan to add at will was appreciated. But the gnocchi was a bit rubbery. Everyone had a good time and it was quiet enough for conversation.

I took my Wife there for lunch today and had the toughest scallopini dish I have ever had in my entire life. I passed it onto the lovely waitress and she passed it onto the Chef. No refund offer or a desert offer. 👎👎

I absolutely loved my first time at this restaurant! The food was so beautifully presented and tasted amazing! Really good serving sizes too! My BF said the Parma was the best he'd ever had! I can't wait to go back there and have their amazing porterhouse steak again! The mashed potatoes tasted like they were made with love, using someone's beloved grandmother's secret recipe. The staff were also lovely. I wish I caught the name of the young lady who served me. She was very friendly and smiley and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. I felt I had to tell her before we left that it was our first time there and that we'd definitely be back because the food was so good!

Have been here many times on Saturday afternoon to the tab lounge. The slots room is good too apparently I don't play pokies but my friends do and they like it. The courtyard is great on a warm night or afternoon. The dinning room is good meals are good too they have special meals for children and seniors. Which is really good for families.

Had the wagyu burger... Flour and fat don’t equal beef and last I checked beef was not a white meat. The offer of a free meal the next time I come is appreciated, but how do you screw up a burger???

Food quality has improved significantly since last time. Menu has changed and has less options but is better quality menu. Now has table service and the waiters were professional and attentive.

Consistently hearty, tasty well cooked food each visit! Been here countless times and never had a bad meal. Always gets everything right - and considering there are often alterations - their attention to detail is wonderful

Came with a group of 12 from a local business. I ordered the chef soup of the day which supposed to come with crusty bread. The soup came out without the bread and when I asked the waitress pointed to the empty plates in the middle of the table that did come wirh bread on them. Though I didn’t have any from the middle of the table as I was expecting my own bread served with my soup. Very dissapointed.
