Great local pub that has been completely transformed under the new owners, and it’s genuinely impressive. You can see and feel the care, passion, and hard work they’ve poured into every detail.
From the moment you walk in, they greet you like family. They’re not just running a business; they’re building a welcoming community.
The food is consistently fantastic full of flavour, well portioned, and reasonably priced. You always leave feeling satisfied.
What really makes this place shine is how warm and family-friendly it is. Whether you’re bringing the kids, catching up with mates, or just stopping in for a quiet drink, it has that special, comfortable feel that keeps you coming back.
Honestly, it’s a real local gem and it just keeps getting better.

Firstly congratulations to the new owners. As a bit of a regular over the last few years what a welcome change to the venue, if you haven’t been down for a while please do yourself a favour. Dropped in for a quick bite and a beer, the beef burger was delicious.

I’m a local and a sporadic regular — but since the new owners have taken over, I’ve found myself coming back more and more. The food, atmosphere, and crowd have all changed dramatically (in the best way). The renos have made the place feel way more family-friendly, and the owners and their family are not only welcoming but genuinely involved with their patrons. It’s definitely my go-to now for a great feed, relaxed vibes, and a place that feels like home.

Amazing pub dinner on the way to the snow!
Chicken burger and chips incredible quality. Karaoke Friday night was a hoot as well.

Great classic tavern atmosphere. Tiff and the team have brought a fresh vibe to the place with regular events, good menu, drink specials and a cool local place to hang out on the south side 👌🏼

Local pub that serves from what I've seen great pub food at a decent price, multiple big screen TV's playing various things two Pool tables, menu isnt extensive but I don't think that's a bad thing tbh. I had a chicken schnitzel with pepper sauce chips and salad and it was superb, the schnitzel was nice and thick perfectly crumbed, sauce was thick and had actual peppercorns in it, decent amount of salad with a actual good amount of balsamic dressing, the chips were thick and crunchy but maybe a bit salty.
