Tradies Caringbah

Cold food... Warm wine....
Ad libbed cocktails, because the ingredients on the cocktail menu is apparently "not how we make it"!
No sauce... with the main.
The two 'female' staff members were too busy socialising with eachother about their weekend, and rolled their eyes at us when we asked anything of them.
The shining star of our disappointing experience was Nathan. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was so cheerful and helpful. Nathan is an absolute asset to the Tradies Caringbah.
I would recommend saving your time and money and just eating at home.
I would give it zero stars, but unfortunately you can't.....

We had the seafood platter, it was plentiful fresh and delicious. The service given by Joseph was warm and friendly he made us feel like we were home. Thanks guys for a fantastic experience, we will be back with others.

At about 5 o'clock 25/5/2024 this evening we visited Caringbah Tradies. While having a drink we were playing the poker machines. We pressed the drink button, however the waiter didn't come for sometime. I cancelled it. The waiter arrived. The waiter took our order, picked up two presumably empty glasses and spilled one full glass of apple cider over me. He grunted a sort of apology and proceeded to go for our order. I was soaked through with cider. He brought our drinks back. I thought a 'complementary' drink would be in order. But no, he got some sort of cloth and almost threw it at me. I asked for a damp one as the cider was sticky everywhere and that came ...freezing. I first joined the trade union club when you needed to be a member of a union. I found the attitude of this staff member less than acceptable. I traveled two hour to my home by train wet through and sticky. I don't need to keep an ongoing membership of this club as we live way out of area but it is close when we visit family members.I do so as it has been part of our history and culture. If this is the way you treat members and visitors Highfields is just around the corner.

Delicious seared barramundi and tasting plate, good selection, friendly and efficient service, well spaced tables so not too noisy

Hard to review an establishment that refuses entry because of our location. Despite driving 31km from Bundeena to enjoy a meal there with friends, we were told we had to join the club because we lived close. Thankfully there are plenty of other choices nearby that can understand the intent behind the rules
