Pembroke Hotel Reviews
We were staying ion Sorell to help relatives move into their new Sorell home, and decided to stay at the Pembroke Hotel overnight on the Friday. The room was very clean and cosy with everything needed for an overnight stay. Plenty of parking at the rear, and very busy bar being Friday night. There was a band playing, but nice music, not head thumping loud music, and we slept well in a comfy bed. Bathroom was clean and shower was good. Had lunch on the Sunday in the bistro, and the food was excellent, with the group having lamb cutlets, crumbed scallops and blue eye trevalla. All were very yummy. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.

We stopped here for a quick, early dinner on the way home from camping. Excellent value for money - it’s simple pub food, done well. Very generous serves. The kids were really happy with the kids meals.

Went to this hotel for tea last night, have been a few times always good. However this time I was a bit disappointed as my meal was just OK as to really nice. I think maybe because it was busy kitchen staff were under the pump!

Went to the restaurant it was great. Husband got a gluten free Aussie Parma which he loved and I had the seafood feast which was amazing. So many gf options well done. Only problem the place was a tad cold.

Very nice food and the service was great.
There was an innocent misunderstanding with my sons meal, but staff were very apologetic and fixed it with no hassle. I love a good chicken parmi, and the Pembroke has a fantastic Chicken schnitzel/parmi range.

This isn't pleasant review but needs to be said.|Thought we'd go out & have a nice dinner & drinks.... wasn't I wrong. The girls behind the dining room bar seemed to be inconvenienced by us being there.|Order a nip of rum & can of coke, no we keep the rest of the coke for the next person....WTF|New then we should have walked out.|Ordered dinner Pork Cutlet & vegs $32, Crumbed Trevalla $43 chips & salad, extra $3 for a side, only get chips or salad or vegs with main meal. Both meals very average.|Never again, only out for as much as they can get out of you. |So if you're looking for a place to go & have a great meal with good service, avoid his place like the plague.|

The food is ok but won't rush back. I have visited this place twice, and each time, it just fails to get any better

So it's not the Ritz! If you want a good pub meal then come here. ||||The staff are friendly and helpful. The food came out in a reasonable time. The servings were generous and the food was clean and wholesome. Generous portions, everything tasted like it should. ||||We had a couple of steaks with veggies. Yum. They have about 16 different parmigianas if that suits you. They are awarded the best parmis in Hobert. ||||The place was warm, the beer was cold. What more could you want! Thanks and will come back.

Not flash but clean and comfortable. I finally worked out how to open the windows on my way out which would have made my stay more comfortable.
Well situated with short walk to Coles or Macca's.
Sorrel is a gateway town with routes to the east and west. Loved the clean friendly town, and flower gardens.
I will come again!

My car's fan belt broke as I approached Sorell and I was forced to spend the night in the only place I could find, The Pembroke Hotel. At first glance I worried that it would be too noisy, being on the main street and with a popular gaming parlour downstairs, but the bedroom upstairs was immaculate, quiet and comfortable; the hot water sprang from the shower immediately, the kind manageress at the bar lent me an i-phone charger and allowed me to stay all next afternoon while waiting for my car to be repaired. I would recommend it warmly.

Met with family for a meal here, worst food I have had not one of us could finish our meals they were over cooked, oil running out of the battered fish, prawns & scallops, only decent thing was the side salad that came with the seafood. Wasted over $150 as none of us could eat our meals.

I have dined at the Pembroke many times now, and have never been disappointed in the food
The restaurant is always full and I know why.
For a family or couple it is reasonably priced and the food is spot on, I always have their Tassie crumbed scallops and they are the best I have had. The coleslaw that comes with it is really nice complement to a fried dish as it absorbs some of that fat.
If you are a big eater don't go past the chicken Pharma
The venue is pretty basic and the staff are friendly enough, not enough to say they are wonderful but not bad service either.
One of the things I like about the Pembroke is that they do take aways, I think its from 5 to 7
I love this pub, I go there over and over and cannot complain about the food I would highly recommend you try it, make sure you book though, even though they try to squeeze you in don't take the chance

I dined here with family last Thursday night and food was alright, the service from wait staff was great however the chef was speaking to our waitress (holly or molly her name was) so rudely that we could actually hear him swearing / abusing her in the kitchen from where we were seated. Really ruined our whole dining experience. We felt so bad for the poor girl. Appalling behaviour by the chef.

Hotel room: well that was quite an interesting experience 😅 we had the spa room. It was above the bar.. quite and clean enough. The floor could use a better vacuum and shower class was not cleaned at all, could see someone else’s conditioner there.. but other than that the jacuzzi was beautiful and clean. The bedding was nice and clean as well. It has a “western movie accommodation above bar” feeling to it in a way.. 😅 probably wouldn’t stay again but not regretting visiting either 🙂

Had dinner here for the 1st time Saturday evening. To start, the service was amazing. Only one girl working the bar, but she was great, not the best selection but the outstanding service makes up For that. We tried the arancini, tempura mushrooms, seafood feast, pasta of the day (fettuccini carbonara) and kids fish and kids burger. The Aranchini was mushroom and black truffle, beautifully cooked served with aioli and salad. The mushrooms and pasta were both good aswell. Seafood feast, the prawns, squid and scallops were done perfectly, the fish was cooked well but flavourless. The kids fish was great, cooked well and really fresh, wish we’d got this fish on the feast instead of the other one.
A great place for a small family dinner, the dining room isn’t huge so prebook where possible

Great pub meals, quick, attentive service. Excellent selection of Chicken Parmies! Good for families, couples or solo. Nothing to complain about. Didn't have to wait long for meals. Be sure to book a table if you plan to go on a Friday night as only a small dining area. On tap beer selection and cider choice ordinary but overall a they won't let you down for a good ol' fashioned local pub meal with some keno if your into it!

Flew over from Vic for a wedding and stayed here , beside having to go up and down stairs to get to our room it was a good quiet place to stay .
We didn't have much interactions with staff but when we did it was excellent they fully catered to our needs or requests ☺️

Enjoyable lunch for 3. Started with tempura mushrooms - delicious and large serve to share. Stuffed and baked chicken breast with dijon mustard sauce with fresh corn, baked beetroot and chat potatoes was excellent. 2 x chicken parmas were huge. Doggy bags for all 3 mains required.

Best steak sandwich, with tender chargrilled steak, bacon, runny egg etc. Great value for $20 with chips included. Also can be takeaway meal. Pembroke never fails.

AMAZING food! Probably average on prices (i.e. not cheap), but portion sizes were huge and our family ate their fill. We spent on average ≈ $30 per person for dinner main meals. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating despite our late arrival to the menu board.
Only travelling through, otherwise we'd stop in again. Great Job, Pembroke Hotel! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
