Holland Park Hotel

Food Five of us dined, and two chose the 200g grazier’s eye fillet steaks with chips and salad, one had the beer battered fish and chips, one had a burger and I had my fav meatballs with mash, peas and gravy. Meals are expertly prepared with love, care and attention to detail and presented to the table on stylish white crockery. The steaks were tender, tasty and flavoursome. My meatballs had a firm and well cooked texture and were perfectly complemented by the creamy mash and fresh garden peas, with the whole concoction smothered in a rich, tangy gravy. I took advantage of the “seniors meal deal” where for only another $3, I received a slice of carrot cake with vanilla icing and a dollop of cream. The perfect way to end the meal. Ordering & Service I’m finally starting to warm to the self-ordering app, and this is how the staff prefer you to order. You can now link your Monty’s Rewards card to the app, to ensure that you get the 5% discount. I spoke to staff beforehand and they assured me that if we couldn’t handle the app ordering, they would take our orders in the old fashioned way, but it wasn’t necessary. After placing our orders, the drinks were swiftly brought to the table, but after that we waited about 25 minutes for main courses. That did give us time to enjoy our drinks, and whilst I appreciate that the place was quite full, it would be nice to have slightly faster service. But again on the pos side, we found all the staff to be polite and helpful, and it was nice to see them neatly turned out in smart blue uniforms with the H.P. Hotel logo on the breast pocket. Ambience As with all A.L.H. Group Hotels, the ambience is super casual, relaxed and laid back. We always enjoy ourselves at A.L.H. Venues and the H.P. was no exception. The interior is carpeted, with high ceilings, strong lighting, wooden panels and comfortable furniture. This works well to create a warm, homely and welcoming ambience. Tables are well spaced out making for excellent acoustics and we were easily able to converse. Being a Sunday afternoon, there was a decent turnout which gave it a lively vibe. There are a few different dining spaces to choose from, each with their own merits. We chose the main area in the middle of the venue and even though it was a chilly winter's day, it was as warm as toast inside. Cost Prices are extremely reasonable, especially if you’re a Monty’s Rewards Club Member, which will give you a 5% discount off everything inc drinks. All up, for five of us, we paid a modest 166 pesos for three schooners, a G & T, five main meals and a dessert. You can’t beat that for value for money at any comparable restaurant. Thanks to the A.L.H. Group, the owner of this, and many other fab pub venues around Bris-Vegas, for managing to keep prices low, especially for seniors who are struggling against this tidal wave of soaring prices. Toilets & Parking Toilets are spotlessly clean, well provisioned and easy to find, with ample male and female cubicles. Parking is a breeze in the huge parking area behind the venue, which it shares with the popular Dan Murphy’s liquor store. That makes it extra convenient to be able to stock up the liquor cabinet before you leave for home. Summary We had a sterling afternoon at the H.P. Hotel, and everyone enjoyed it. I especially love the calm, relaxed and unhurried vibe while the tastefully decorated interior creates a warm and homely ambience. Staff are friendly, polite and helpful. Food is of the highest quality and prices are moderate, especially for Monty’s Rewards Club members and seniors. Add to that, clean and well provisioned toilets and plenty of free parking right outside the hotel, and you have all the ingredients for a fun afternoon or night out with friends or family.

Without doubt THE BEST tavern food I have ever had. We have been to over 30 different ALH taverns in the last year in so many different cities in Australia and this trumps all of them hands-down. The chef's should be very proud of their food and I hope management sees that. The steak had so much flavour and every other accompaniment on the plate was full of flavour too. Will be returning for sure. Thank you!

For just an average suburban pub this place is really good. Food is reasonably priced but the quality of it is great. Try the jalapeno parmy.😁 Small tap beer selection but the favourites are there. Good TAB and Gaming room - both situated away from the main dining which is great. Very friendly staff. 🙂

Do yous use the same oil to fry the chips as calamari? I ordered the reef and beef and the chips tasted like the calamari...Also at 8.30pm, they opened all the doors... Freezing cold air flooded the room... A nice way of saying gtfo, we wanted dessert but left almost running away..... I can't imagine me recommending this place....
