He's been drinking there for years with a group of mates so there is a strong sense of nostalgia here - I totally get that, and have my own pubs that do the same for me. But without the nostalgia, I'm not sure why you'd venture to New Lambton to visit the Blackbutt - except that you get to say "Blackbutt" as many times as you like. And the nearby Blackbutt Reserve (which is free) is totally AWESOME and has wombats, so combining the two would make for a great afternoon!! It's really only a normal Aussie pub, with semi-decent pub grub, a kids playroom, pokies and a front bar. The food is ok - we had pizzas last night and the toppings were good although every one of them came out a bit burnt on the edges. But don't expect anything fancy here - stick with a Parma or a pizza and you'll be fine. Coopers is on tap here and it's cheap so that is pretty great! Staff are friendly and fine. I can't stretch to give it four stars, as its really pretty ordinary, but if you paired a visit here with the local Blackbutt reserve that would be a four star outing... Wombats!!!!

Amazing dinner. We…read morehad the salt and pepper calamari that came with two delicious accompaniments, a chilli jam and an aioli. Both were delectable. The calamari was perfectly cooked. We had a share plate of Mexican tortillas. Talk about divine! It was more than we could handle though. Certainly generous in the serving sizes. The staff were all lovely too. They had great kids meal options and a huge array of fun colouring sheets to keep the little ones occupied. Definitely somewhere we will be coming back to.
