And the setting is cosy and welcoming. What more could you want? We came with our puppy on a sunny September afternoon so sat outside, which was easily accommodated by the waiter. I had the steak, mushroom and red wine pot pie with buttered vegetables and rustic mash. Whilst the husband had the local Bridge Road brewery's beer battered fish and chips and salad. So yummy! We then shared a locally grown apple & berry crumble with vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was divine!! Our waiter was so friendly and after chatting about our little furry friend a couple of times, came back bearing a doggy biscuit treat for the spoilt munchkin. How lovely. We will definitely be back! It's so worth the drive from nearby Bright or Wangaratta for a quaint but delicious country pub lunch. Keep up the amazing work guys!!

This is an awesome pub located in the bushland surrounding Bendigo.

It fact it ws really worth the hike that I made to get here, namely because when I arrived I was literally blown away as to how awesome the pub was. It really does have a true bush feel about it, and in fact it has a real historical charm to it as well, namely because it is one of those old style wooden pubs. Oh, and the beer selection is amazing, though unfortunately they really don't have anything on tap. Still, it is definitely a pub worth checking out.

The place has grown substantially over the years and has heaps of separate areas to congregate in. There's even a kids play room for the little ones to burn off some energy. We had the bruschetta, garlic pizza, mixed grill a chicken schnitzel and a couple of kids meals. The bruschetta was a decent size and could've easily been enough for a main. I got the mixed grill as I haven't had one for years. It was big and had a nice piece of pork belly on it also. The garlic pizza was good nice and salty with a light dough, it hit the spot for our starter as we were getting hungry. The place was packed and thought the wait time for the meal would be long but was surprised at how quick it was. The food is pretty good and not over priced. The meals are a decent size and the staff were all nice and helpful. Will go back here again one day with out a doubt it's a good place for a work dinner or a few beers with the guys for the Xmas breakup.

Went here in a Monday night for an easy meal after work. There was a few people in the bistro as it…read morewas Monday night special (buy one main meal and get and equal or lesser value meal for free). The staff were friendly and helpful. The prices of the meal I think were inflated for the special. We had steak for one main and seafood and salad for the other. Don't mind paying $33 for steak and it was scotch fillet steak so not bad, $30 for some fish and battered seafood was just a bit steep I thought. But second meal was free so worth it. You had to pay extra for the gravy for the steak which is normally include in most places. The kids had the old faithful nuggets and chip as there not the most adventurous eaters but a safe bet they will get eaten. The meal wasn't bad the steak cooked as required and a decent serve of chips and salad to fill you up. It's definitely not worth raving about but a decent pub meal. They do have specials on most nights of the week that may take your fancy like a cheap parmy night or $12 of steak night. I would return here again as it was not bad wouldn't mind trying the parmy. It's a fairly simple but old favorite of many.

The other thing is that the beer selection honestly wasn't all that fantastic, though I suspect that that might have more to do with it being a country pub, with a country style, than anything else. Still, it was okay, just not particularly great.

Absolutely delighted by this place! Went on Tuesday for the $10 steak night. Had a delicious rump…read moresteak with Tasty steamed veggies. Had a choice of chips, potato bake with either salad or veggies and about 5 sauces to choose from (but I was endeavouring to be healthy so I gallantly declined those options). It was really nicely cooked, a little but more cooked than I usually enjoy in a rare steak, but for $10 I was pretty impressed. My mates absolutely loved the Diane and mushroom sauces and said the chips were crunchy and delicious. We then found ourselves involved in a hysterical trivia night, where we all lost something shocking but had great fun trying (don't ever ask us where any mountain ranges are located!). We subsequently moved onto desert and indulged in a tantalising variety of cakes. They each came in massive wedges of deliciousness with pots of both whipped cream and ice-cream on the side. The only negative I can think of is that it's quite chilly inside in winter as it is in an old wool shed (hence the name). The venue itself has a great atmosphere and is all decked out in vintage farming relics with dainty fairy lights twinkling from the wooden beams across the ceiling. All in all we were quite delighted and entranced by a place that, let's be honest, we only visited for the $10 steaks.

However, despite the lack of nice beers on tap, this place still did have some charm, and the service wasn't bad either. However, I'm unlikely to make the trek back out here again for another one.
