Spotswood Hotel

My salad was not served as per the menu. Items missing. Substitutes added. Not the same salad as expected. But the worst part was that the feta cheese in the salad was off. It smelt like Gorgonzola. It was bad and management agreed. Very poor on behalf on kitchen staff. With so many other places to eat at, I won't go back to the Spotswood Hotel.

We recently had our father's wake in one of the function rooms at the Spotswood Hotel and we cannot speak more highly of the friendly, attentive staff and how delicious the food was. Our room was perfect and Amy couldn't do enough for us when booking. Renee looked after us on the day beautifully and she was extremely efficient. The whole hotel is so unique and magnificently renovated. We cannot recommend the Spotswood Hotel and staff highly enough.

Noisy, but you have to expect that at a pub. It's expensive for a pub too.
Food, meh, average, my Paella was not a Paella, it had potential, but all I ended up with was a salty risotto, no caramelisation at all.
None of the other meals were great either, all pretty average. They look better than they taste. The best dish was the ragu, but for some reason, it was entree sized!

Ordinary
Food - To sum it up - sad
Meat lovers pizza - mass produced pizza base with little toppings. Doughy and chewy. Awful.
Fish and chips - great crust/ batter - v promising but when you cut into it - unfortunately soft soggy fish that is wet and disintegrates.

Service was great, friendly but food was not great at all.

Friendly, efficient staff that take your drink order at your table. Very reasonable food prices with special deals on some meals plus a drink for $25! Both meals were generous in servings, cooked perfectly and arrived very quickly! I am so pleased that I tried this hotel and will definitely return. Thanks!

We ordered the workers lunch and an entree buffalo wings and was pleasantly surprised at how much food we received for the money. Quality of the food was also excellent. Calamari was super tender and the chilli salsa that came with the wings is phenomenal. Will definitely be coming back and bringing others to try as well.
Love the look of the space as well. Very complimentary of the area and the heritage building.

Nice venue. We had Christmas Day lunch there. Beautifully catered for, food was plentiful and delicious, but the atmosphere was lacking. I'm a huge fan of Christmas, and there wasn't a decoration in sight, and the music was lacking.

The venue was nice enough, but the food was incredibly poor. The duo of dips had budget kalamatas straight from the jar and the crumble of feta was not worth a menu mention but the most disappointing of all was the cut up, dry and flavourless store bought pizza base that they tried to pull off as bread. Ironically, someone else ordered the philly cheesesteak, which came in a store bought ciabatta that would have been more appropriate...
The arancini lacked any flavour or filling and was not made with arborio rice...
The sweet potato wedges on the menu were chips without seasoning rather than wedges...
One of those situations where you just know they know what they're dishing up is poor.

Thank you so much for the fantastic food, service and atmosphere that you provided to us at our private function for our daughter's 21st birthday. All of our guests raved about the venue, the beautiful food and the kind and attentive staff. Thank you for making this celebration such an outstanding day!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Spotswood Hotel, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The lunch special was delicious and offered great value for money. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcomed throughout my visit. On another occasion, I stopped by for drinks and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. One major plus is its convenient location, being just a stone's throw away from the train station. I highly recommend the Spotswood Hotel for a satisfying meal or a refreshing drink.
