Belmont Hotel Bendigo

A great local hotel supporting local people and local sporting clubs.
Well managed and exceptional service .
An excellent menu to select from catering for most people's needs .

My greatest regret is that you can't award zero stars. Over an hour for two chicken schnitzels, a cous cous salad and a curry. Watching tables who had arrived more than half an hour after us get food before we receive ours; told more than once that our food was being plated (clearly not true); no drink service; staff not trained in basic table service (trying to clear plates before all diners had finished); staff clustered at the bar instead of circulating on the floor attending to customers; overcooked schnitzels; tasteless salad (no dressing); and then staff member was aggressive with our party member who paid the bill.

Friendly staff great food I just wish parents would control kids more but unfortunately that's everwhere

Waited an hour for meals.

I ordered the porterhouse steak, medium-rare. It came to the table well done and cold.
Other adults at the table complained that the vegetables they paid extra for were so under-cooked they were inedible.

The last time we were here (about 8 months ago), the meals were great value (prices have increased significantly since then), fresh and well cooked.
It has changed for the worse, unfortunately.

Great bar, very friendly Nick the publican is quick with the cold beers. Good kitchen as well
