Partner and I went here on a Sunday lunch and sat outside under an umbrella. The waitress explained how the tapas menu worked and suggestions on how many to order. Since we didn't feel like a large meal, having a few servings was perfect for us. The garlic bread was really nice and I enjoyed the chick peas w/chorizo.

By far the steak was my favourite dish, cooked to perfection and seeing who the local butcher was (who made a delivery while we were there) I knew why the steak was so good. Again the waitress was a pleasure to deal with and the bill was reasonable.

We were almost put off by earlier entries of poor food and service. We do live in the local area and took a punt on giving this place a go, very glad we did. Food, service and ambience were the best we had experienced in the Hawksbury so far.
We dined on a wet Wednesday evening and were delighted with a nice warm greeting and friendly service. We shared some bread and had entree's and mains.

My partner and I agreed that the garlic prawn entree in the hotpot would have been nicer with more sauce having been served with bread, but still very tasty. Mains, my partner had the fish and he doesn't even eat fish often, absolutely superb! I had the pork belly, also cooked to perfection. Our waitress was also very attentive, asking if we wanted a little more time between courses, which was appreciated.

We couldn't fit in dessert but were entirely satisfied with our wonderful meal. The bottle of wine we shared, which I think I drank more of, was lovely. Cheers, we will be back.

My partner and I have been here quite a few times and have enjoyed the food. The entrees are always quick to come out, the satay is lovely. The Pad Thai is a favourite Thai dish of mine and they do it well here. The vegies taste fresh as did the seafood. Always happy to pay the bill as it's very reasonable.

My partner and I have been here several times and have found the food consistently great. I had steak and it was cooked exactly how I ordered it, a rarity for a pub, with chippes and a very enjoyable salad. My partner was equally happy with his steak. Herb bread to start was very moorish. The wine selection at the bar was good for a pub. The views we great, we could see all the way to the city. Overall a nice pub with friendly staff. We will be going back. Cheers!
