The hotel is a traditional one with well cooked food. The menu could do with more seafood. It is quite meat oriented.

The food is always great and I love the old atmosphere in the whole building. You’ll always find some live music here too- from full heavy bands to bluegrass and country duos. Having a beer on the top verandah is a great way to watch the town.

A lovely evening with very good food served quicker than expected. Service prompt, very friendly and knowledgeable re wine choices and dishes. We found the noise levels from the band in the bar a bit too loud but when the door was closed it was fine for us Definitely return as a regular venue
