We recently stayed in Scone for the weekend and chose here for dinner because of the appeal of the building. Clearly a historic hotel and is being or has been refurbished to capitalize on the area's history. Plenty of parking at the rear.
First we walked in through the rear beer garden where there appeared to be some type of presentation occurring. It stopped and we were glared at until entering the building.
Went to the dining room area because of the kids and ordered our meals. Went to the bar and was made to wait while every apparent local got served before me even though arriving after me.
The meals were Sydney CBD prices and not that great. Some of the meal was dropped on the floor as it was brought out. The guy apologised but left the food on the floor. I picked it up later when it was clear he wasn't going to. One of my kids spilt his drink and I asked for a cloth to clean the table up. I was directed to the napkins and used half a packet! The wife had a pasta dish which was very ordinary to top it all off.
Disappointing experience but in love with building's appearance and condition. read more
