Lord Melbourne Hotel

The staff here are really friendly and the salt and pepper squid was delicious. A very generous portion too I felt. My only criticism would be the chairs in the dining area felt pretty flimsy and I could feel the screws coming through the seat base. It might have just been that chair as I didn't bother trying others. Other than that a really great place to grab a meal!

Was great service with a smile they even made me a drink I haven't tried before and I loved it the lady would have just got me a coke if I didn't want it so it was great that I loved it honestly, the food was cooked beautifully and presented so well I felt bad not being able to eat it all before leaving but I knew I would come back when I saw the art in the dinning room was so perfect I will have to come back to buy a piece for myself very soon as its just my kind of art (splatter paint) as we sat outside in the back in the sun it was perfect and beautifully set up i can't wait to bring people with me next time and try more of the friendly chefs delisous foods.

We had a pleasant evening here on a quiet Sun night in November 2020. The food was first class and the service was outstanding: The entrees came out within about 10 minutes of ordering, and the main meals, about five minutes after we’d finished our entree. Can’t get better than that. We ordered mac and cheese croquettes, a chicken salad and a beef schnitzel. Tot cost was $55. The food was fresh and tasty and served in perfectly sized portions, not too large to make one feel overwhelmed, or too small that you leave feeling hungry. The croquettes were soft and creamy. My schnitzel was cooked to perfection with a generous serve of crunchy chips and nutritious Greek salad. My wife’s chicken salad was also a decent serving with nice tender pieces of succulent chicken in a mixed salad with walnuts and shavings of parmesan cheese. The only negative was the noise. Even though there was only a smattering of other diners, the racket from a few rowdy tables was deafening. The indoor back area has a billiard table in it, and on the night that we dined, about six or so loud patrons were playing, and drinking heavily, which made the atmosphere in that section unpleasant. We quickly moved away. But the acoustics were bad, no matter where we sat - and we tried three different areas, inc outdoors, it didn’t matter. And that was a pity because the venue itself is spacious, airy and comfortable, with plenty of room between tables, and options to sit either inside or outside. But unfortunately the wooden floors and a lack of sound absorbers just make it hellishly noisy. Toilets are old and crummy but functional. Full marks to the owners of this warm and homely pub for the outstanding food and service. The happy hour drink specials are also worth going for, but they need to do something about the noise!
