I ate here on a Sunday night before a show upstairs. The venue has plenty of space and is tidy. The seating area less than half full. Plenty of options to watch football with dinner and this was expected, given it is a leagues club. The venue has two eateries, one an Asian servery, the Lion's Fortune Bistro. The other, a cafe style service option called Chaddies, located in the same dining area at the main bar. Both offer hot food. The cafe offers desserts and sandwiches also. The Asian servery offered Australian options in addition to Chinese and Thai. I opted for the Chicken Schnitzel with Chips and Vegetables with a Dianne sauce. Twenty five minute wait, $22.90 with no table service. My plate was loaded. Large portion of chicken with a crust that was good. Five varieties of vegetable including greens, somewhat warm, but what ruined the meal was the Dianne sauce loaded with Worcestershire sauce to a point that it was watery, soaking into the schnitzel, and barely edible from the tang of over-powering Worcestershire.
My wife ordered from Chaddies. Salt and Pepper Squid with Chips and Salad with Tartar Sauce. For $17.50, table service, served in 10 minutes. The squid appeared to be of a 'frozen and fried' variety.
I would consider eating there again if I had reason to be there, but wouldn't seek this venue out for its food alone based on this experience.
