Anyway it is a big old place - we happily sat at the outside tables as we could smoke and enjoyed a bottle of Easter veuve! I ordered the lamb rump with polenta and spinach and it was delicious! Perfectly cooked and well complemented! So a great meal and ciggie friendly - sure it was quiet but that's enough to get me back!

I was busting to go to the toilet and the pub doesn't open till 12noon - literally waiting outside the door for them to open. We booked for 5, 4 adults and a high chair. When we arrived it was set up with the right seats, ready to go. To start we shared the seafood plate, everything was fresh and delicious. It had fried fish, calamari, crab, prawns and smoked salmon. The boys both had the linguini seafood special, MIL had the salmon and I had the chicken parmy. We'd also ordered a veggie Pattie (from the veg burger) for our son. Everything tasted great. MIL said it was possibly the best salmon she'd ever had! All that and a bottle of wine came to $200 even. Excellent lunch out!

I had a couple drinks and a fantastic burger while watching America MLB! The burger was HUGE with an ample amount of fries!

We've never been for dinner, but I am sure it would be great. The location is basically in a parking lot attached to a fancy grocery store (Harris Farm), but don't let that dissuade you. The food is really good!

The food here is excellent as is the service and based on this alone I would easily have rated a five stars. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant for your evening meal and I may yet be trying out their breakfasts.

In the early days, prisoners were detained in the cellar of the sandstone inn! Place was hopping on a Sunday afternoon but we were able to order food at the counter and grab a seat in the taproom. Very cozy, with the fireplace going on a chilly winter day. Ordered a burger and the fish and chips at the counter and it was brought to us in the taproom. along with a glass of wine and a ginger beer. Everything was tasty, ambiance was nice and staff very professional and friendly! Overall a lovely stop in Berrima, a cute town.

We stopped here for dinner as part of a wildlife tour. I was impressed by the menu--not what you…read morewould expect from a small, remote inn. I had the beef burger, which was well cooked with scrumptious house made pickles. The chips here were fresh and crispy and tasted amazing. I'll never care about American "French fries" ever again. My husband had the fish and chips and his fish was battered perfectly and he loved it. Other members of our group had steak or duck and all were very pleased. They had chicken dishes on the menu as well as pasta. The menu was small, yet diverse, and impressive. The staff was all friendly and helpful. The best thing about this place was the feeling of stepping into another world. So much of the original feel is intact, including original stone work and woodwork. You feel like you're in an 18th or 19th century pub. I could have sat here and chatted with people and sipped a drink next to a fireplace all night.

The place is very large and fairly new and also has a good motel attached which would probably be the pick of motels in Mittagong. The dining room was well organised and comfortable and the food arrived in a reasonable time. The menu was pretty much the standard RSL fare. The roast for $17 (large) or $11 (small) was popular. The portions and size of food seemed very large to me as were a fair number of the clientele. My calamari rings were twice as big as I have ever experienced before and I have a big appetite but couldn't finish them. (See photo) - in summary recommended if you have a large appetite otherwise choose carefully and go for the small or entre options.
