The crew at this pub & hotel are even more friendly than those on The Love Boat! We showed up last…read morenight at the tail end of dinnertime, and the staff were quick to bring us menus and advise of the need to get an order in if we wanted to eat. Honestly, we were just checking the various seating options out, and the barman put the menus in front of me as I was getting a beer. Options abound for a meal, as available add-ons are shown as optional extras (with prices), so you can customise your order according to your appetite or budget. Most meals and burgers come with great beer battered chips - maybe the best we've had in Mudgee - and fresh salads or steamed veggies. None of the leftovers of offcuts served by lesser establishments. Don't be doubtful about the quality of food here; if something seems off or not as you expect, mention it to any of the staff there and I believe they'll be both concerned and eager to put it right for you. It's that kind of place.

I was here last year and WOW !!! What a transformation !! ..... This Hotel has been turned into a…read moredream venue for drinking, eating and entertaining ..... it's modern and refreshing, a place you can spend as much time as you desire just chilling or chatting away the hours. The new color scheme blends in well with back part of the Hotel which has extensions upstairs and spread over a few dining areas. This Hotel is a fresh and happening place for Mudgee and with a history to boot !! ...... The food has come a long way as well, with a more fancy menu, not only in choice but also in variety and presentation. The Drinks menu, also vast with all the usual suspects, my only criticism would be that it would have been cool to see any of Mudgee's local brews on the menu ..... and a pool table would have most likely earned it a fifth star !

This review is covering "The Post" steakhouse restaurant…read more Do you love a quality steak, and are you prepared to let someone else cook it for you? If the answer is 'Yes!', then I think you'll have a good experience at this venue. Linked with the lobby of one of Mudgee's oldest motels, you might think of demand-based opening hours and cooking standards. However, it looks like they want to encourage non-guest diners, as they post specials and promotions on their own Facebook page. The tables are nicely set up, with linen napkins and tablecloths, and real wine glasses rather than the less serious stuff of standard motels. Sure, service may at times be more quaint than quality, but they get the job done if you're not pretentious. Ooh, but the steak is sublime! Our 2-4-1 specials on a (unbooked) dinner Wednesday evening were faultlessly done as ordered - Medium Rare - and so much better than we've had in quite awhile. Meat is the reason you come here, and this did not disappoint. Local wine was generously served by the glass. I think this establishment is worthy of your consideration.

So long as your expectations are realistic the Woolpack is a great place to stay. I was there for 4…read morenights and it was only $50 a night for a room with an ensuite. (If you ask for room 1 it has two connected rooms with a king bed in each!). So far as pub accommodation goes the rooms are huge and very quiet. Sure they're not the most modern but they have air con, a fridge and a kettle. There was also a TV but with no aerial connection it was as good as a door stop. It's also located smack in the middle of town so you can walk to anything you need. There's parking out the back near Woolies as well. The cleaners come in each day and just do a basic tidy - emptying your bin and replacing towels. But thats about it. If you want your bed made and things wiped down you're out of luck. The only downer for me is no wifi. But at $50 a night for an ensuite room and $30 for no ensuite its the best value place to stay in Mudgee. Plus what you save on accomm costs you can then spend on food and wine!
