Absolutely the best service! Staff were all delightful with my rowdy kids, great sense of humour and friendly. The play area is the best in town with jumping castles and a telly in the dining areas so you can sit and enjoy the delicious food without having to check on the kiddos. Will definately be back every time we visit Ballarat! We had the beer battered flake and the lamb shanks. Couldn't be better!

We were there at 6.30 on a sat night and the hotel was packed. It was a very cold winter night and unfortunately the hotel car park is very small, so most patrons would have needed to park in surrounding streets, which are very poorly lit, and walk to the hotel. The dining areas were full of diners.

We have young grandchildren, so we checked out the children's playground. We found it in a room that felt very small and overcrowded with children, ranging in age from pre-school to teenagers and equipment. One of the jumping castles looked very tired; its vinyl covering was cracked and had a large repair patch at the front where children climb into/onto it.

The meals tasted nice, are very big, served on large plates, a large amount of chips and a salad that consisted of lettuce leaves, a little grated carrot and a couple of small pieces of tomato. There wasn't too long a wait for our meals.
The bar & wait staff were welcoming and efficient.
The venue was definitely warm, which was lovely on a very cold night.

Went to this hotel for the $20 T-bone steak as advertised online. Turns out, in person it's $23!!! When mentioned to staff they shrugged and said it was an old website! (And false advertising!!)
The t-bone itself was thinner than a slice of bread and full of gristle. I was hard pressed to get through it and left more than half of it on my plate! The chips were inedible and the salad at least was well dressed.

The one saving grace was the busy wait staff who was happy, busy, attentive and respectful! She worked hard and still met our needs with water, lemon and lime! The bar staff could use a bit of her personality!

The $42 bottle of pepper Jack Shiraz was average, and with Dan Murphy next door I expected better value for money.

Atmosphere was hampered by a card night set up adjacent to the meals area where the dude on the microphone wrecked our ambiance!

Went back the following week... t-bones better quality this time, but card night MC'd by dude with a booming voice (no Mike in hand this time!!!)

We visited this pub on our brief holiday in Ballarat. The food was unfortunately average, but the playground made up for it! Great place for families with younger kids. We have 2 toddlers and had arrived in Ballarat late in the day and wanted to eat at a place where we could let the kids run around a little bit without having to worry about disrupting other people. This is your place! They've got a decent play area and also got cameras in there which beam a live feed to TVs in the eating area, making it easier to monitor your children. A very nice touch. They've done a good job in separating the family section from the rest of the restaurant, so people without kids can eat there too without much disruption.

My wife and I called in for a bite to eat. Unfortunately it was half an hour before the kitchen officially opened. The staff were very accommodating and said that they would open the kitchen specially for us. After looking at the menu we chose the waffles - they were yummy (and reasonably priced. Can recommend

Came for the pokies and decided to eat. The pookies room is small but most of the new machines are here.
The staff are friendly and attentive, choice of 33 parmas is good, the parmas themselves were well cooked but nothing special when it came to taste. The chips were good and side of onion rings also.

The massive range of Parma options is a bit of a gimmick. Especially when you can't cook the basic component of the Parma properly: the schnitzel.

My schnitzel was soggy on the top and burnt on the bottom. The cheese isnt melted.

Honestly there are so many better options in Ballarat, don't be fooled by the gimmick of a carbonara parma

Chef can't cook a steak for the life of him, asked for a med to well cooked, instructed the Waiter I'd like it pink but not bloody! First time come out well done with cold chips. Second time come out well done but manage to get hot chips, not ideal that one person was now left without a main meal for the night because a qualified chef can't cook a $40 steak!! You were also heavy handed on the salad dressing that you couldn't even eat that without getting a cringe of vintage taste.
After so much trouble a refund was given for that meal and a comp dessert was give. (A main meal to eat would have been nice)

We came early on a Thursday night, managed to score 2 Parmas for $30, and they were huge portions and nicely cooked, as were the flake and chips. Lovely staff, quick service. Kids enjoyed the playground.

Love the wide range of Parma options but the place was so busy that it took over an hour for our food to arrive, which meant the kids had a late night. Some of our meals weren't very warm either, probably waiting until the whole table was ready. Staff were nice though.

I was there tonight and used a senoir card for my meal 1st time as I've just turned 60. What I got was a portion size meal for a 5yr old child, or 90 yr old on their death bed !!! A 1/4 of a schnitzel!! 2florets of broccoli ,one of cauliflower, a tblespn of mash and a little gravy.Seriously ???? Never again... very disappointing. . I Should be been told they were tiny !!!!!

Fantastic food and service. Don't go near the play ground. . Some real potential for serious injury in that place. Clear rules written on door that a parent must supervise however this is not enforced or even monitored. Feral kids charging into other younger kids, kids in their teens mouthing off to others, meanwhile all parents dine oblivious to whats happening. More so an issue with parenting than an issue with the restaurant however it should be monitored more closely before a serious injury occurs. We ended up leaving due to this.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and an even more amazing playground for the kids. Definitely a family fun venue.

The meals were nice and service was good. Our only concern was the playground. There were older kids being extremely rough. I copped a hit to the head and my kids were too scared to play. While staff can't be expected to supervise children, it would be good if they could check in every now and then in case parents need to be reminded to monitor their children's behaviour. It was quite dangerous.

Really nice quiet place for a meal or drink. Very clean venue with friendly and helpful staff. CC on tap??'?

Customers expected to line up for 25 to 30 minutes to get service, like herded cattle, and then wait an hour and a half for food to come. My plate apparently had food on it, but it was hidden under a thick layer of oil. I fail to see how any of the staff were being covid safe too. Terrible experience all round.
