“The best meal I’ve had in Melbourne!
Together partner and I tried the Guinness and shepherds pies, and they were both amazing. Just bursting with flavour and a really good size.”- Tania Laffey

Review:

“Fantastic evening. Came with a group so we had a set menu. Food was delicious, and there was plenty of it. Excellent for the price we paid. I always feel the way a place deals with a special order is a good measure of their service. Our one person with specific dietary needs was very well taken care of and got a lovely meal, all the staff looking after us really went the extra mile.”- Claudia Long

Review:

“This is a really, really great little pub. It’s simple, honest, the food is great, the beer selection is perfect! Bar tenders have been fun and polite, and can’t ask for much more. Just a great place where you can relax, have a laugh, and some really good food and drinks.”- Jack Doherty
