The Fiddler Reviews
Whenever we pass by this place, there’s always busy. Finally, we decided to check it out, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere is great, the beer is nice and the food is delicious with great service. The meal is served quite quickly which is impressive given how spacious the venue is. It’s the perfect spot for a Friday night, and I’ll definitely be returning!

What sets The Fiddler apart from other venues, is the exceptional service. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that your experience is a memorable one. Whether you're dining with family or friends, or just popping in for a quick drink, you can expect to be treated like a VIP here.
With great food, drinks, and service, it's sure to become your new favourite local.

Went in for lunch with friends and got the pork knuckle, schnitzel, prawn pasta. The pork knuckle was very good. Perfect crackling and moist. The schnitzel had a nice crumb and was not thin. The prawn pasta unfortunately was on the dry side (definitely needed more sauce and moisture). The chocolate cocktail was great, perfect taste and presentation. Food came out very quick. Very clean premises.

Visit the Irish pub section. Lots of quirky little rooms. Typical Irish style. The guiness aren’t too bad either. Great hearty size meals. At a price

This place is massive split into different sections and styles. Plenty of indoor and alfresco dining and the food is great as well. You can order via the QR code on your table and the wait isn't too long. Great place to hang out with family and friends. Highly recommend!

This little oasis is a very popular hub. It caters to all demographics. It accommodates a large number of people without being overcrowded. The menu is diverse and inviting to the taste buds. Service was very good with an emphasis on efficiency. They work with a high degree of anonymity whilst at the same time clean up with a smile. We'll be back.

One of the best in the west. Every corner has a different vibe to it. Inside has got a lot of character and outside is funky and happening. Good menu range, drinks and coffee. Great spot for meals and to catch up with mates. Lots of parking available.
Highly recommended.

Massive pub split in two levels with multiple bars and seating. Apparently this has been here for donkeys years. The open area used for functions and a make shift dance floor on weekends. Friendly staff, good food and decent drinks. Could do better offering more choice in cocktails than run of mill

Lovely place, mix of both old world and new world specially the old pub that can transport you back in time.
Pork knuckle could've been crispier. Other than that, it's lovely place to hang out with friends and family here out north west.

I remember coming to this place when I just turned 18 and been coming back intermittently.
Must admit, the renovations throughout the years have really uplifted the place.
They have a nice sports Bar and outdoor smoking area if that's your vice.
Plenty of indoor and alfresco dining space and the food is very good. You can order via QR on your table and the wait is not too long.

I had heard a lot about the place so went for dinner. Definitely the ambiance is amazing. But the service was poor. Pizza and fish was expensive but tasteless. Did not dry any drinks this time. Will give one more try to this restaurant for it’s ambience. Hopefully next time the experience with food will be good(I am foodie and I do not like any restaurant if food is not yummy 😃)

If there is one thing we have noticed is the fiddler is very consistent with their food.
Overall the quality of our meals was very good and it all came out reasonably quickly even though it was busy.
Pizza was actually very good in comparison to what is available locally. Quality of the toppings was excellent and very tasty.
Kids meals were ok. Better than some places in the area we have been.
Overall the total cost for us was $130 less drinks for a family of 6 that was excellent value.
There is a covered area if it’s raining, cold or you just want to be indoors but it does fill up quickly.
The Bar has a good selection of wines and beer available which I’ve always found to be very cold and clean.
Parking is plenty on site.
Books at the time were not necessary but during busy times I would call to be sure.

Great food, excellent service and ambience with outdoor setting. I liked the lunch deal for Seniors, buy 1 get 1 free.

Great cozy place. Been going there for a little over 2 years. The food and drinks are amazing. The service is great as always. Shoutout to Silvia. Great work ethic.
The only downside is some of the bouncers can get a little pushy, and not so pleasant. But this has only been the case recently. Previously they all were great to have a chat and laugh with.

Good pub. Plenty of different options at the one venue with Irish bar, sports bar, balcony bar, dance floor, glasshouse, kids area, etc. Goes good

Good place, good atmosphere however the food was very mediocre. I would have liked the steak cooked a little better so I didnt have to chew a bite staright off the cow. (I ordered medium).

Good place for a celebration and get together with family and friends. Many options in terms of food with steak, pizza, and modern Australian among the menu choices. There is a lot of seating and a playground for the kids. The kids meals are good value as they come with a drink and ice cream. Good choices of alcoholic beverages. Advised to book in advance especially if you have a big group. The kale salad was good. And so was the pizza which is freshly made. Prices are a bit on the dear side. Lots of parking and the Irish themed pub is a great atmosphere

From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance was inviting, setting the stage for a delightful culinary journey.
Starting off with the Pumpkin & Halloumi Salad, I was impressed by the combination of flavors and textures. The paprika cinnamon roasted pumpkin paired perfectly with the savory halloumi, while the dried cranberries added a delightful sweetness. Topped with a refreshing balsamic dressing, every bite was a burst of deliciousness.
Next up was the Gamberi pizza, and it instantly became my favorite. The chili base provided a subtle kick, perfectly complementing the succulent marinated garlic and chili oil prawns. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that left me craving more.
The Prosciutto pizza was another standout dish. The combination of rocket, bocconcini, and prosciutto created a harmonious blend of flavors that exceeded my expectations. It was so good that I've already made a mental note to order it again on my next visit.
The Butcher pizza was a carnivore's delight. The BBQ sauce base combined with the rich flavors of ground beef, salami, BBQ cabanossi, and ham created a tantalizing treat for the taste buds. It was a hearty and satisfying dish that left me feeling fully content.
To start off the meal, I indulged in the Salt and Pepper Squid starter, and it was simply divine. The crispy texture of the squid paired perfectly with the creamy aioli and spicy chili soy sauce. Topped with fresh chili, it was a burst of flavor that left a lasting impression.
Pizzas with gluten free options is an added advantage.
Overall, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. The attentive service, inviting ambiance, and, most importantly, the delectable food made it a dining experience to remember. I can't wait to return and explore more of their mouthwatering menu offerings. Highly recommended!

Found myself in the area last weekend and recalled the name of this pub so popped in for lunch. Was thoroughly impressed! the 200 year old section was really interesting, nooks and fireplaces all over the place. The new areas were well decorated and organised, a pleasant feeling throughout. Food was great value, good portion sizes and very tasty. Had rose on tap for the first time and was very drinkable and good value. Quaint but modern, with friendly but not in your face service.
It might be a different story at 1am, but for a lunch it was excellent in all aspects. The only negative was the limited range of beer/cider/ginger beer on tap.

Fiddler's is back in Business with Outstanding Food and Service to match. Noticed the changes when we attended a Function a couple of weeks ago after quite some time. Decided to visit on Friday for the Happy Hour (3.30-5.30pm) Beer, House wine and Cocktails and $10 Wood Fired Pizza's. The atmosphere is very inviting in all of the venues, we enjoyed our drinks and pizza in the Courtyard outdoor Dining Venue as it was a beautiful day. The Pizzas were to die for any choice from the menu and only $10.....WOW !! We will be back with Family and Friends soon. Well Done Guys, our New Go-to Place.

Came here for a surprise party for a mate of mine. His girlfriend booked out the glass house area which is it's own section in the side of the venue. The atmosphere they made there is great for a gathering of around 100 people (I think we had a little less than 100). Service is great because you scan the QR codes and they bring food and drinks straight to your table. You can also get up and order from the bar if you're old fashioned. Great place though. I'm definitely considering coming back myself for my own event. Also, I only spent in the $1-20 range because I only got a drink but I think everyone mentioned they'd spent around the $50 range for food and some drinks which is a little pricey.

Big Pub and restaurants split into different sections and styles each with a very different ambiance. One section is a bit like a museum built in 1829. My family also enjoyed exploring each part of this establishment, we took our time and stayed for many hrs.
It also has a decent playground for the kids.
Had a bite in the Glasshouse restaurant to finish up. A delicious Guinness pie and mash.
This place also has a few beautiful venues for parties/gatherings.

Been here multiple times and they’ve upgraded their menu recently, which is good. Staffs are helpful and welcoming, Eden is particularly nice, atmosphere has always been lively, bustling with activities. Appreciate their weekdays senior card holder’s discount on main menuParking has always been plentiful. A must see and visit eatery venue if you live nearby.
On 22/1 Monday we had our dinner here again. We didn’t order any drinks, so no comment. The experience this time was excellent, the place is packed with people. Atmosphere was great, noisy inside, so we were happy to sit outdoor there. We ordered pork ribs and 200g eye fillet, and they are just absolutely fantastic and delicious. Food came with reasonable wait time, and we thank the management for their ongoing works on this catering venues. Recently they have spaghetti prawn olio and we found it delicious, generous in size and now it’s one of our favourites.
