The Belmore Hotel Reviews
Went there for lunch on a Sunday, ordered some drinks at the bar, asked for a kids pineapple juice and was charged an extortionate $4.30 (price for an adult) and still put into a kids cup.
Went up to the bistro to try to order food, placed the full order but when I went to pay, it didn't work, and the other girl that was standing there (came out to answer the phone earlier), only then said the pay terminal was down so I'd have to order all over again at the bar (could have told me sooner).
When the food finally did arrive, the $31 'lamb and rosemary' lamb shoulder was completely dry and had no lamb or rosemary whatsoever. Just a disgraceful dish.
Easily the worst pub experience I've had in a few years.

We booked the function room for my Dads 70th. Hayley & Dane were wonderful to deal with, very accomodating and helpful with all the questions we had.
We ordered the platter options, food was delicious & came out promptly. All the guests commented how lovely everything was.
The bar staff were wonderful and took an overwhelming number of coffee orders in their stride.
Great place to book a function.
Thank you to all the staff.

Tried to enter the venue with 2 friends on a Friday night for a quiet beer after work. We were appropriately dressed. All around the age of 38. We were all denied entry due to one of us having steel capped shoes, which are apparently a potential weapon.
Has anyone actually ever hurt anyone in a pub with a steel capped shoe? I would love to hear the story if they have. It's not an easy task to kick another person with the top of your foot.
Other than that, perfectly acceptable pub.

This place was a surprise! This unassuming pub with its traditional exterior in Maitland's main street has never appealed. But I went in today to have a late lunch and what a treat. The interior is calm and modern with a large dining area including a beer garden. The food was excellent. I had a cheese and bacon burger that was wonderful and filling. To the point where I couldn't finish the best fries I've had in a long time (although I gave it a red hot go).
Even the fresh white wine, a Pinot Gris, was on tap. Gotta love it!
It's only one visit, but I will definitely be back, soon!

Table booked for 6pm. Tuesday night. 7 adults, 2 kids a 3 and 2 yr old. Ordered cob loaf for starter. Slightly larger than a bakers delight bread roll. Main was not served until 7.30pm (kids meal came first) and wasnt correct. Adults meal came out 8pm and was average. Enough said. Do not recommend.

Stopped in for a dinner and we each had the Thursday Special - Steak, chips and salad.
The steaks we had were a little less done than what we had ordered but the flavour was wonderful!

Revisited after a few years absence. Just dropped in for a quick beer on a warm Saturday afternoon. Good cold beer and pleasant service.

Rating based on accommodation. This place tops the charts as the worst accomodation Ive stayed at. At $100 for the night, the hotel had a stale and musty odour which I expected for $100 and was able to endure. My room was nothing shy of a prison cell. No towels no soap so no way of showering which was probably because no-one ever uses the showers because they are simply dirty and atrocious. There is no way on this earth that accommodation is 3 star.
The Imperial next door which I gave 5 stars was $90 per night, the rooms were larger, cleaner more inviting came with a towel and soap and amenities which were not unpleasant given the price.

Netty. Was. Here. A typical family style pub serving your $15 lunch special during the week. I like this place for the great beer garden. Food is always on point even the cheaper special menu! I had the Snitty; made in house from real chicken breast and a nice crumb… if it’s not made in house they source quality meat. So thick and juicy chicken breast.

Main meal dishes great value for money. Roast of the day, beef burgers, chicken schnitzel burger, chicken Cesar Salad. Good portions. Food quality really good. Staff very friendly and helpful - both restaurant and bar staff. So big ticks on all those things. Disappointed with the portion of Cadbury Flake Cheesecake though - VERY SMALL for the price of $12 for a single serve. Not much bigger than a TimTam really. Also the 'doof doof' background music not really conducive to a relaxing family atmosphere. :( ... Otherwise good overall.

Lunch time specials are value for money and served promptly. Open and spacious interior. I meet here regularly with clients. Casual and friendly atmosphere.

Lovely looking place to dine and have a beer and the staff were very polite. We had dinner, it was quickly out.
The menu seems to lack variety and all meals were just lacking in quality slightly. You'll always get an acceptable meal however I've eaten a few times and never been amazed.
Pricing a tiny bit high.
Pokie room has 20 pokies not alot of variety and TAB/Sports area quite small.
Is a massive outside smoking area and inside pool table.

Location handy parking is close & not a long walk. Service was very good & staff friendly. The food was great. There also a vegan menu as well. Very popular as the eating was just about full when we going out. Clean,friendly staff, food great.

I've just been to the Belmore with my parents my dad got the Morton Bay Bug pasta & my mum got the Pork Belly Bits & I had the Cheese & bacon Burger. The bug was the worst bug I have ever seen it was soooo dry!! Over cooked!! The Pork bits were just as bad!! The burger wasn't to bad. I would NOT recommend this place for food at all. The beers were great!! 👎👎

Hi guys! Not sure how often you read these things, but I couldn’t help but give a shout out to one of your amazing staff! Unfortunately I didn’t catch her name, but she was the lovely lady working the bistro with the blonde pixie cut and wore her collar popped up on 14/01/23. Maitland was inundated with crowds due to a function in the levee which obviously attracted more walk ins to the venue. As I went to order just after 8 I believe, I was informed the kitchen may have to close as orders would be served well after 9:30. I come from a hospitality background and completely understand the operations especially when busy, which can be difficult for someone to understand if they haven’t experienced being behind the counter. She explained it in such a clear way, that surely anyone would understand regardless. I did see relief on her face when I was completely understandable, as it’s never the messengers fault to relay negative information and I would assume maybe other customers weren’t so nice throughout the night. I’m keeping this as a positive review as even though there were some staff that might have not been as hospitable due to the pressure, in the end everyone was accommodating and we were more than happy to wait for our food! I really hope this gets back to her! I could not speak more highly of her work ethic and attitude, you would not even know that behind the counter it was probably absolute chaos!

Had a meal and drinks with friends. Menu had a pretty good selection. They also had a Specials board, which looked good. The meals were big and tasty. The beers were tasty as well.. If you are looking for a really nice pub meal in a nice environment, I would recommend a trip to the Belmore Hotel in Maitland.

First time diners here. Very disappointed in the food. # people had pasta dishes and all said no taste and they were microwaved dishes , not made fresh. I had chicken schnitzel with prawn toppers, Mine was nice but the snitty was bit small for $32. Liked the decor and was very roomy and not too noisy. Dont think we will go back again.

Attended for lunch for first time, the lunch special chicken schnitzel was a decent size with chips and salad, gravy was nice but the time it took to come out of the kitchen when they weren't busy was disappointing.
Orders taken at bar and then having to be put in on opposite side by staff seems inconvenient and delays ordering/payment especially when numerous people in the group require same process.
Attention to detail here is missed in the sense of clean glasses from the bar, definitely recommend getting a straw.
Tables and rest of the bistro comfortable and clean.
Staff friendly, good menu options.
Nearby carpark on levy tight fit with small spots. Best to park a bit further away if in a larger car and walk down.

Arrived 1st for lunch , had to order from the bar we were a party of 9 , well half our table recieved their meal, I enquired about the other half, well they lost the order, " we will put a rush on it" another 20min lots of meals to other tables still nothing. Questioned again chef claims he only just got the order, we eventually recieved the meal after an additional 25min. Chips hard and dry, ribs no taste they actually had the taste of being par boiled and chicken snitzel was half the size of our guests who had finished their meal way before they bought out ours.
I doubt very much if I will return. I was quite disgusted.
