Their main meals aren't great value but the portion sizes of the children's meals are beyond disappointing. For $14 you get one small piece of fish and about ten chips. I should have taken a photo but given it took all of 10 seconds to consume such a minuscule meal, there was hardly the time. I tried to politely pass on this feedback in person. One staff member quickly agreed but the other asked with an eye roll if I "go to other bistros" and know how much things cost. Ah... yep. Have been to loads and for $14 we'd usually get a decent meal with ice cream and a kids activity pack included. Maybe they don't want families there. Then why have a children's menu? Or a playground? Our kids left hungry. Sad to say we won't be going back.

Great food and great location. We have brought large groups of friends here over the last few weeks spending thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be appreciated by staff and regulars, who have made the venue feel very unwelcoming to children/families. Despite the recent addition of a children's playground.

Nice enough local. Beers are reasonably priced and bar staff are friendly. Bistro are taking the absolute piss though. $14 bucks for a tiny kids meal and they wanted $2 extra for some tomato sauce. Don't eat here, just have some drinks.

Amazing meals. We had the French chicken parmigiana, fish & chips & the chicken wrapped in prosciutto filled with Camembert cheese.....beautiful. Staff are friendly & polite. Highly recommend this restaurant inside the Asquith Bowling & Recreational Club.
The club is very friendly & we have made this our local since we moved back here a few months ago from a country town.

Have been attending the ABC as we still Ike to call it for 10 years now. I must say that over the last 6 months or so the club has improved out of sight. Special mention to all of the staff, everyone of them is taking great pride in providing first class service and iff you've not had a meal at the Lodge Bistro you are really missing out. Food has been sensational with great service and such friendly smiles. A credit to all involved and look forward to the clubs continuing success.

I absolutely loved the place and the food specially the butter chicken and the grill chi burger ?
The girl named titiksha was so sweet

Both times I've eaten at The Lodge I have been very disappointed, the beer battered fish and chips was not beer battered and the chef's special butter chicken was simply stewed chicken in a pool of runny liquid with no flavour and not many pieces of chicken either. I was told I would get extra pieces of chicken because they had run out of papadums, I would hate to see how many pieces of chicken they normally serve. I was with a group of 6 people only 2 liked their rump steak the others were disappointed with their meal. I was too embarrassed to make a fuss but I won't be eating there again.

I simply adore The Lodge! After moving to Hornsby from the Inner West, with tonnes of amazing food options, I was so excited to find The Lodge Bistro at the Bowlo. I'm a bit of a regular now:)

The menu is great - lots to choose from and they have a specials board that is next level.

Last week we couldn't decide, so went for both the ribs AND the prawn curry. Both were soooo tasty. The ribs fell off the bone and the chips and coleslaw that came with them were great too.

I'm a bit of a fan of their Thursday night steak special too;)

Do yourself a favour and try it out!

Although there were issues with our phone booking for a table of 7 (there is a glitch with their phone system atm),
there was plenty of room for us on Friday night. Two (including me) ordered the Fri night special of chicken schnitzel. It was excellent! Fresh flattened chicken breast with a crispy crumb that wasn't oily at all, perfect chips and a fresh well dressed green salad. Three had the barramundi, one the curry and one the battered flathead. All was declared excellent. Obviously a kitchen that knows their stuff! Highly recommended for a well priced meal.

The Lodge Kitchen & Bistro is consistently good. Much better than other club/pub offerings in the area, interesting variety and great specials. Topped off with genuinely friendly service - so glad to finally have good food at a club in the Hornsby area!

We ordered a whole family meal, but they forgot to make half of it because a guy needed a break outside, got the food in the end but dodgy experience :/

Not a great experience unfortunately. We ordered a steak medium rare & it was very well done. The staff were accommodating & gave us a credit for a free meal next time, we weren't really keen to come back, but thought we'd give it another chance. Next time round we ordered the schnitzel & burgers. The chicken schnitzel was so oily, & you could see that the oil was old, as it had a burnt flavour & was inedible. The buttermilk chicken burger was so dry, not moist at all unfortunately & the cheese burger was cold. It must of been sitting there for a while, whilst the other meals were being prepared.
Sorry, we definitely won't be back. Although the staff are friendly, the food is not good & service is slow. Shame because the food was great before.

Food was pretty good on each visit, but lately the salads they serve with the meals is basically a bit of greenery and if you are lucky, a 5mm section of tomato may be included. Not good enough in my books for it be called a salad. If your short of tomatoes there is a Coles down the road at a reasonable price.

Absolutely fine example of service with a smile!
Callum is a asset to any company and a dream employee!
Great tunes by Nathan Cole ?
And food to die for !
Thanks for a great night !!

Great food and beer. Not big and busy. Quite place to catch up with friends

Good food ,nice atmosphere but nothing special. Don't think it's not nice. Just good club food. Service was excellent.

Food was pretty good for the price it was cost at, If you make it on the right night there is some good people that play some music while you eat.

New chefs and menu. Top class food and great prices. It is great to see a good place to eat in the asquith bowlo well worth returning for.

Great club. Nice decor. The new operators of 'The Lodge' bistro have great food and a surprising range within the menu. Fabulous weekly members deals for every night of the week.

Quiet little club. Plenty of friendly people there and great service. The bowls games were great fun with some master tuition given by the locals. Place this on your to do list

Food was good, beers aren't too expensive. However we went for a work chrissy party which involved lawn bowling. We all found the elderly gentleman who was supervising the bowling rude and condescending. We wanted to have a laugh and try bowl. It's a game it's not premiere league.

Foods good club food although they charge an extra $1 for any meal payment under $20 made with eftpos (in my instance without any notification). That's just straight out gouging - not good.
