    The chilli prawn pasta dish ( a special) unfortunately had mushrooms in it.This was not listed as an ingredient and would not have been ordered if this was known. When a server asked about our food and we spoke of the ‘surprise mushrooms’ in the dish, he just said to ask to have them left out next time???? Another of our group could not eat their chicken schnitzel as it looked a grey colour not golden like it should have. Also dry.

    We go to try the weekend specials every week. I had the Stuffed Chicken Breast Grilled chicken breast stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, and served with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted heirloom carrots, asparagus, and creamy pesto sauce. Absolutely amazing and a very generous meal for just $28, outstanding Thank you Palmwoods hotel staff for another great weekend lunch

    I booked a table for on the balcony last week only to find when we arrived the table allocated was taken by others, so the whole process was a complete waist of time. It only works if the restaurant in question follows through.

    Went for lunch on a Thursday and while having a coffee afterwards was told to leave as the Venue was closing at 2:30pm. Disappointed

    Great meals, kids had fun, good vegetarian options for a pub. Staff added balloons to our table which was a lovely touch for a birthday dinner. Will be back!

    3 out of 4 meals came out at once, the 4th was another 7 mins after. First waitress we saw, shouldn't have even been working she showed no interest. The pork meal that came out had to go back due to meat being way overcooked, another meal the salmon was overcooked and they had run out of mashed potatoes. A couple of staff were lovely. Overall not a nice experience 😕 have been here before and had a good experience but not last night. Very disappointing 😞

    The simple online booking process made booking a table really easy. Good atmosphere, great food, very friendly service. It was a perfect vibe for our family Sunday lunch.
