Had a good dinner here tonight. Some pictures attached, the place was very understaffed but the staff that was there were nice. Not every busy but it was a Tuesday night. Below are the meals our table had and what everyone thought of them.
Lamb Shanks (Pictured) - I enjoyed this meal, it was quite tasty and very filling.
Pulled Pork Burger (Pictured) - It was OK.. my husband said he has had better But his also had worse.
Salt & Pepper Squid - Not very nice. Didn't have much taste.. chips were good. But the side salad was smothered in dressing that was way to oily.. so it wasn't edible.
Fish & Chips - Average. Not great, not bad..
Kids Nuggets & Chips - Great value for money. Good size meal, kids love dino-snacks. Comes with free icecream and free soft drink... we had 1 happy kid for dinner.
Overall, we will return and try some more of the menu.

Be honest, it doesn’t offer any service except order and pay in front of the table. The simple margarita pizza refresh my taste, it is then first time to get a basil Presto in the Margarita pizza which makes me confuse whether I have ordered a wrong pizza.

Everything is acceptable & expected, not a wow experience but still a good one.
The only thing is… in my mind the 200 gm Rump Steak seemingly ended up smaller than what 200 gm should be.
Anyway, most likely will be back to try their New York Cheesecake.

This place is terrible, if you want frozen vegetables, low grade meat, boil in the bag pork ribs this is the place for you. The only half decent thing to eat at the this club is the premade sandwich they sell behind the bar. … More

Very friendly employees. The lunch special was delicious and the portion size was gorgeous. Remember to sign up for a free membership at the concierge, and you can enjoy a membership price across food and drink. In terms of atmosphere, it was a regular sports pub vibe with heaps of pockie machines. More

Checkin is easy as getting a guest pass for a week. Bring a driver's licence
Open and neat, multiple dining areas inside or on the balcony... staff are friendly. Order at the front with your table number.

Roast Pork ...how can you stuff it up. No taste in the pork, boiled potatoes not roasted, great chunks of bitter pumpkin and there was something seriously weird about the crackling it tasted like burnt sponge. The food here used to be good, big let-down.

Sunday lunch Roast Pork was tasty and the crackling crackled. the chips were hot and crispy but cooled down quickly as the plates were not heated. Worth a scoff.
The wife's burger was nice but the same story with the chips
all in all a nice lunch.
