Ashfield Hotel - Ashfield, New South Wales

Kevin

Are you in Ashfield looking for a place to grab a properly cooked steak exactly to your specifications and have a chat with friends and actually hear what they are saying without poker machines buzzing and beeping?

If you answered “yes” then this is the place for you.

The chef knows how to cook a steak and will make it exactly the way you want.

I like my steak rare and that’s exactly how I get it. The chef doesn’t try and second guess that I perhaps may want a medium rare or medium.

I suggest you ask for ‘no basting’ on your steak, only salt and pepper and no mayonnaise on the salad.

I bring my own condiments and salad dressing.

The staff here are friendly and I feel very welcome here, feels like home.

I have been going to this pub for years and always felt welcome until recently when Lee the manger moved on to be a regional manager. Since then some of the staff have been rude, incompetent, and come across as though they couldn't be bothered, and were more interested in fixing each others hair In the gambling area than serving customers. I asked to speak with the manager and the staff member said she was and I was shocked to the point of laughter.
They couldn’t handle an issue that had nothing to do with me, with her screaming at the top of her lungs like Banshee at another CUSTOMER, which was very unpleasant. Totally unprofessional.
When I said I wasn’t happy, I was blamed.
Until this joke of a manger is gone I won’t wasting my time or be spending my money there and have told many about this change for the worst in one of my once favourite pubs.
Much better option down the road at the crocodile.
Professional, pleasant staff and a much better atmosphere.
Such a shame for the Ashfield Hotel.
They need to lift their game big time.
How they get away with this pathetic level of what’s barely customer service is beyond me.

The cage restaurant is the best around this area between three suburbs.

The steak is cooked well and big portions for the price.

These guys know how to cook a good meal.

The pork ribs are also amazing and you get a gravy to have with the chips is ordering the ribs.

I’m very surprised this place is quiet during the week.

I don’t mind it being quiet but I want them to do well.

As to me it’s the best steak I can get between 3 suburbs and just as good as some steak houses.

I cannot say anything but as we came here I see the security staff was playing the pool and he didn't give any chance of playing us.
Had a very bad experience here
We had to return as we want to enjoy the night playing pool and having a drink.
I would like to give no any rating as our experience was ruined.

To whom this may concern, I think Lee is one of the best managers I've ever seen, always up for a mad talk. I have only been coming to this pub for 6 months max and he has always made us feel so welcome and warm. A special thanks to this pub and Lee for making our transition to Sydney a positive one with the most warming atmosphere. I think that to the people/persons who thinks otherwise should keep their opinions to themselves, Opinions are like assholes everyone's got one but some are shittier then others!
Thanks everyone for your love ❤️ Stacey, Tristan and lil man

I went there for supper around 4pm
Ordered food and drinks for me and my younger brother
When we were almost finished with our food the licensee of the pub came and asked us to leave
Even thought i had my ID. FYI there is a sign all over the place that minor is allowed with a responsible adult.
They asked us to leave immediately.
Very unprofessional and very bad management.
At least the food was good.

Great place for dinner, the pricing was good and even do specials. The service staff were very friendly and accommodating. The pub layout was very clean and presentable. The food was very well presented and delicious, very good size portions. I ordered steak medium rare with salad. The salad was fresh and the steak was juicy and tender. For dessert I had the sticky date pudding it was very moist just enough sauce it was to die for! No photo of the steak sorry it was that good my hunger took over and totally forget to get a snap shot of it.... ha ha ha 🤣. I gave 5 stars bcoz of presentation of the hotel it was clean and very well presented, the food which was delicious and the service was great.

Had a top day watching the first day of the first Aus v India cricket test. Manager was happy to put it on the big screen, enjoyed cold pints and a really nicely cooked blue rump, into the evening the atmosphere was great.

"Right I'll be back tomorrow, that was fun" I said to myself.

The next day I was there for the start of play, only person in the sports bar except an old bloke chatting to the (different) manager.

NFL was on the big screen so I ordered my pint, and then politely asked if he could put the cricket on the big screen.

"No. Not the way we are playing".

I laughed at his joke. It wasn't a joke.

"It's on the tv over there, I can turn some volume up".

"Oh ok."

The volume on the NFL was 5 times the volume of the 32"tv behind the pool table.

I had two pints over two hours, the whole time the manager stood behind the bar, arms crossed, watching college football.

At one stage there were four of us watching the tiny tv while that douche did nothing. Should be sacked but the blue
shirt and the fact he was working the day shift I doubt he will.

That was my second visit, and my last. What a knob.

It's a sports bar, sports fans don't stop watching because they are losing. The Indians were playing out of their skin and the paying customers couldn't hear the commentary.

Sorry chef your steak was delicious.
