Very disappointing visit. We arrived at 4:30 covid restrictions require table service, we were the first to arrive and the last to be served we didn’t leave until after 8pm. We were told we were forgotten not once but twice. The very very long wait...was not worth the average meals we were served. Under cooked greasy chips. The fishermans platter was an absolute joke, no bigger than the kids meal with a large bowl of fries. We were sitting outside and because dinner service had ended the heaters were turned off. What an awful night, watching others come and go before us and a waitress who continuously walked past us seemingly stressed, angry and unaware of where food was going. Needless to say we cancelled our desserts still charged full price for two of three meals and all of our drinks. (No way were we paying for the fishermans platter).More

Full car park we weren't hopeful to be walk-ins, group of 10, and get a seat but the staff worked it so we had the option of inside or outside. Great service from the young female server - she knew her menu, provided some recommendations...and what would appeal to the kids. The place was busy and she was running plates and taking orders without being flustered and with a smile on her face. You don't get that much these days. We ordered Thai Pork, Prawn & Squid Salad - it was all fried and not quite what the diner thought it would be, and would go better if they were fresh pan seared prawns Gladstone Burger and Panko Crumbed Chicken Schnitzel Burger - AMAZING Pulled pork eggs benny - huge risk as it was an unusual mix, but it worked and the plate was cleared Beef & Guinness pie - best pie the diner had ever eaten, he appreciated the layers of flavours and the mash. Our daughter is a mash aficionado and gave it a big tick Kids pizzas - our kids said the pizza was too peppery which they'd usually hate, but not a crumb left and big smiles with 'pizza was 10/10' comment Huge thanks to the chef and servers who made our unplanned Sunday family/friends meal the topping to a great weekend We've been to the Gladdy many, many times and we have to say that the menu has been stepped up, its noticeable and appreciated Will definitely go back to the greatest little country pub, and you should too, you won't be disappointedMore

If you are expecting average pub food this place is fine, the staff are friendly enough. However if you want anything more you will be disappointed, the food is really not very good. I had the Asian salad with ‘pork belly’ and tempura squid. Basically...some battered squid rings, a couple of battered prawns, a few tiny lumps of pork belly that were entirely fat with no pork and some chopped red cabbage.More
