Lower Plenty Hotel Reviews
We recently held our daughter’s 18th in the function room. It was the perfect venue - the food was great, the service was excellent and the space was just right. Security was really good - really diligent but with a great sense of humour. Everyone from 12 - 65 had a ball. It really took care of itself and the pressure off us. Can highly recommend this venue.

We had a Special Needs 30th at the Lower Plenty Hotel function rooms. The whole experience was so stress free. Dealing with Lane the Functions Coordinator was so painless and she was so lovely. She steered us towards appropriate menu choices etc and helped us with some great ideas. On the day Dee and the staff were fantastic. He sorted all our requirements from ladder to fixing our it issues and did it with a smile. All the staff were so accommodating and it made for a great experience.
Food choices were good. Food came out hot. The only downside side was limited gluten free and dessert party options but we were allowed to bring our own desserts so it wasn't a major issue.
Highly recommend the Lower Plenty for your functions.

We had a 6.30pm booking, our meals arrived after 8pm. On ordering they advised it will take 40 minutes. The meals finally arrived, and they forgot 2 of the meals, they came out approx. 10 mins later. No apology, just dumped it in front of the people and off they went. The meals were delicious but small servings. After the long wait, certainly didn't fulfill the hunger. Arrived home and had a sandwich. Once meals were consumed, wasn't long after we were told they were closing soon, move on. Certainly would not return.

Unfortunately the food we ordered wasn't very nice. The chicken was dry & too overcooked! There were only potatoes as the vegetables that came with it. There was too much smoked paprika that was sprinkled on the chilli yoghurt ! Plus, we asked that they not give us the chilli yoghurt, but we still got it.
The bread that came with the meal was over cooked aswell
Not a very good dish to order as you only got over cooked dry chicken & potatoes, chilli yoghurt & a few pieces of bread, and this meal was for two ppl

This is a cute little local hotel and it has a lot to offer!
I didn’t take much pictures as they are available on Google!
First of all, there is a mini casino and it has many games that pretty much everyone enjoys.
Bar and cafe as well as food area are next to each other and they are easy to access.
Super clean and decent washroom/bathroom
I was impressed by the price of coffee as it was only $3.8 or $3.9 and pretty good! The staff are all really nice and make you feel like you are actually in the hotel (unlike few others that I’ve visited).
I love the kids’ play area and it is pretty big!!
While I enjoyed my food and drinks kids can just play wild and run around!
Food is slightly more expensive like $5 than any cafe or restaurant but over all you can get what you pay for.
I ordered Lower Burger at $30 but the portion is HUGE and I could not finish my food (which is not very common in my book!) and enjoyed all! Love the onion rings and sauce👍👍👍
Kids meal is simple but at least they can get pretty good chips on the side and free dessert and all is included in the meal at $16. You spend hours as you can be kids-free and kids can have their meal and desserts before/after play time so it seems reasonable!
Service and food is great and a lady and a mate who served our table were so so friendly and nice even if our kids were loud😅.
Nice atmosphere! I will come back to play games next time without kids😜

The food is ok. Steaks are expensive and no good. Nonetheless, the parmas and fish are great although the tartare souce looked like mustard... it has been out forever. The look and feel of the place is amazing and great for kids. The service depends a lot of the day and the people. Today, I was told no to a double shot of a drink when last week I was offered a double shot. I guess today I had the person on bad mood, no even keen to help.

The Devilled pork is my favourite on the menu and I'm happy to spend the 40mins drive just to get it. Huge indoor playground that's under water theme.

Such an underrated establishment. Fantastic location, lovely vibes however by far the best aspect of the Lower Plenty Hotel is Hamish. Hamish made my whole night excellent, so attentive to each and every customer. I’ve never seen someone care so much about their customers. Thank you Hamish! He deserves employee of the month, every month. I will definitely be returning!

Recommend Wednesday nights for Quizzme Trivia Night. Great fun.
Besides their pizzas, the food is ordinary.

Ordered Nachos for entree they used just an avocado dip instead of guacamole. The steak I asked for medium rare came out well. This venue has dropped big time this is the 3rd time I’ve came back hoping it was good like it use to be but unfortunately not.

One day I’ll be telling stories to my children about Ryan, saviour of hospitality. This stunning man served me with the most beautiful calamari I’ve ever seen, and when I’d finished eating I was at a loss for words. I will be dining at the lower plenty hotel and hopefully once again in the presence of the gold standard for customer service. Thank you for making my experience one to remember, Ryan. Also he once saved me from drowning in a well.

My family went to dinner at Lower Plenty Hotel on Saturday, we sat outside and it was the perfect weather. The food was delicious but the standout of the night was the bartenders specifically a lovely girl Carly! She was so amazing getting us all our drinks with a smile on her face. I highly recommend going !!!

many times I have come to the lower plenty hotel, and many times I have been met with disappointment. I am thrilled to announce that on my most recent visit, this disappointment was no more thanks to Ryan. his food recommendations were fantastic, and his drinks were delicious. I've never had such amazing service, or such a wonderful dining experience. Ryan is a stand out in the customer service industry.

In the past the food has been pretty hit and miss, so we usually come with low expectations.
However, I was pleasantly surprised to have a good seafood linguini marinara!
The beer battered chips are also good.
Indoor playground is always a hit with the kids.

I can not fault the Lower Plenty Hotel. Food is always very good and affordable. The play ground is amazing and the kids love going there. It has become our go to place for affordable dining.

Great place to take the kids for a meal because of the large indoor playground. The food is average, some days you get good food, other days it's very plain. Staff are always friendly and again playground is great for the kids

Good size meals, comes out quickly if not super busy. There's a huge play are for kids at the end of dinning area. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Try not to sit near the entrance area as it's very cold when the doors open 'winter' otherwise we love it in here.

Food was sub par but if you have kids you go for the playground. The garlic bread had almost zero garlic flavour, and the garlic prawns should be renamed cream prawns as the garlic had gone missing again. My brother in law got garlic butter with his steak and we decided that's where the garlic had gone! Only an hour into the dinner service and they were out of watermelon salad and creme brulee. Steak was verging on blue instead of rare but since we'd already sent back cold and watery mashed potato we just wanted to eat.
Service was friendly enough. And again, recommended for parents as the playground was great. Kids meals are good too.

First time there with family. Quite impressed by both the quality of the food, the speed of service. We had a toddler with us who had a great time in the play area. This really was a great pub for families and a a good hearty meal. Top marks also to the staff who were both extremely courteous and very efficient.

Every pub and bar can serve you a drink and cook you some food, but none can make you feel at home like one of the bartenders Hamish did for me and my family at the Lower Plenty Hotel. With a “can do” attitude, Hamish made sure the food was speedy and delicious, had a great night with some great laughs, would definitely recommend.
My 11 year old son even said his new favourite superhero is “that Hamish man from the lower” 😹

By golly! I was blown away by the delicate Australian cuisine showcased at the Lower Plenty Hotel. I have visited my far share of pubs in my time, but none have stood out quite as last Friday night. The blissful balance of the chicken Caesar salad was stellar, complimented by the hero of the night, Ryan. What a charming young man. He was ever so accommodating and made sure my experience was as pleasant as possible. I will be dining again, and I recommend the Lower Plenty Hotel to any and all who desire a delicious meal and spectacular customer service.

4 stars for the great vibe of the sports bar and outside deck. Food was very good however very expensive. $28 for a burger, $12 for wedges. Noticed steak and parmas were really quite expensive.
