Went for a birthday.
2 meals were ok

Service was no existance.
Have had good experiences in the past. Seems to be hit and miss now.
Entertainment was great.

We held a birthday lunch for my mum’s 98th birthday on Sunday. The management very thoughtfully put some hellium ballon’s on table 11 for her. The service was top notch, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and the food and selection on the menu was good, something for everyone and the batter on the fish and chips was crunchie as! Thanks for making our family day very special and memorable.

We have just held our daughter’s 18th birthday party in the garden. The events manager Adam was fantastic and all the staff on the night made sure everything was perfect and ran smoothly.
The food platters were amazing!! Definitely recommend

We had my 60th here in December. It was a cold and wet day, but the beer garden was warm and inviting. The platters were amazing, the service just brilliant. It was just the perfect place for a great celebration.

We enjoyed their $15 lunch special menu. It was a lovely meal of great quality and the customer service was just as great. Highly recommended!!

We both had beef schnitzel, worse "food" we have had in a long long time.. a strip of beef jerky with a thick coating of concrete crumbs should have been the description in the menu. They need to retire the "cook" and hire someone from MacDonald's!

Was here for a friend's 40th. Lots of finger food and nibbles - all of it was good. I had a great time

The staff are great, the atmostphere is great, really liked the outside bar area with the seating, tents and pop up bar. Whilst there is a handful of vegan options, I was kind of disappointed. The last time we went they had amazing vegan options and a few more than currently. This time I shared the panko cauliflower (this was the best thing and was absolutely delicious), the falafel burger (I understand what they tried here, it just wasn't all that great and a bit dry- and there was heaps more chips just someone had eaten them before I could get a photo) and the veggie bowl - this was mostly rice with a little of the salad in it. I think if they had added more of the salad this would have been amazing. By all accounts from non vegan food was good according to the people I was with.

Recently had our daughters 21st here. Adam and his team were fantastic. The venue was spectacular and our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. Thanks for a great night

Pretty good local pub, food offering is great and plenty of beers on tap. Dining rooms seperates the bar and outside dining so plenty to offer suiting all types.
Friday/Saturday nights are busy so book in early

Pleasantly surprised after changing up from our local on new years day. Simplified menu with generous portion sizes and fresh flavours.
Plenty of seating inside and out in the beer garden.
Some staff friendly, some very flat and disengaged.

My salmon was very overcooked and disappointing. It arrived late after spending too long on the plate warmer in the kitchen. Our tables were not cleared an hour after we finished eating.

Just celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday here and we had a blast! The guest were all amazed how beautiful the place was. The garden decor was perfect with my daughter’s party theme, we hired somebody for the background wall and it complemented the whole area perfectly. Used the small tv for the slideshow and the huge tv for like fixed wallpaper and video greetings.
Alex was very accomodating and helpful, he made sure everything would be arranged as planned. Food was great the crew did a great job!

I just held my baby shower here in their function room , I can’t thank Alex and the team enough for all of the help when organising and making sure my day was organised and perfect! I hired their green wall as well which helped tie everything together so perfectly! It was absolutely beautiful, the food was amazing and I will most certainly be back here for my future events!

Great staff and atmosphere. Clean facilities. Usually, they have some awesome bands playing. Not much dancing rooms but it is what it is. Outdoor spaces are decorated nicely and encourage a friendly environment with a separate extended beer garden providing a small smoking area.

Decent pub grub. Crazy loud on a Friday night but maybe we were just unlucky with a few birthdays near our table.

Celebrating friend's 70th at this place. The food was ok. Staff members are friendly. Fried chicken is a bit dry. Venue is fine.

Celebrated my baby shower in the beer garden and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the whole process of organising everything was easy.
Adam was very helpful when going through the event details and made it a great experience.
Definitely will be recommending the grove to anyone who needs to host an event.

Bit hard to share the experience. Son in law booked a table for 5 for my grandson's 12th birthday, which was on the same day. Arrived to be told no booking was made, did he ring up a different hotel. How insulting, no he did not. He made a booking at Grove Way, proof on his mobile. Thankyou for making us come out on a very cold night. Thankyou for making my grandson's birthday a sad day. Yes worse could happen but take responsibility for it. Being a function coordinator for over 35 years, sorry but again, so insulting.

As we were having a small Wedding, just under 65 people including the Wedding Party, we wanted somewhere for the Reception that was open but intimate. The Grove Garden area is this plus so much more. I had numerous meetings and discussions with Alex about a vision for the Reception and we could not believe how accommodating he was and the prices for a sit down meal with options of how many entrees, mains or desserts you wanted was less than half of the prices I was getting for other venues. We went with 2 entrée choices and 3 main choices with beef, chicken and fish the options. We had cupcakes for our dessert so we did not need a dessert option. We included canapes for when the guests arrived which were so delicious, it was arranged that the Bridal Party was given a plate of the canapes when we arrived. Alex also added in a chicken main for me as I wasn’t loving the choices on the function list. The guests could decide which meal they wanted it was not alternative drop. The amount of food was so impressive, no-one I spoke to was still hungry at the end of the night.
At the last meeting we were introduced to Jordan who was taking over Alex’s position. Jordan certainly knew what she was talking about and put us at ease due to the change over so close to our Wedding Reception. When I emailed or called Jordan with last minute questions etc just as I found with Alex, Jordan was very accommodating and easy to talk with. When we arrived at our Reception we were over the moon with what Jordan and her team had done. It was everything I had envisioned for our Reception and so much more. Defiantly look at The Grove for your Wedding Reception. 10/10
