Hunter River Hotel

I recently had my 50th birthday celebrations in the function room upstairs. My whole experience was positive! From the communication, food and service. I had 80 people in attendance. The food was amazing by the awesome Saskia and her team and the bar staff who looked after us made sure we were never thirsty. All of my guests have commented what an amazing night it was! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart! 🫶🏻

Rump steak with veggies and Tasmanian salmon, great meal very enjoyable. Great service we recommend.

Great food. Servings were very good.
Staff were great. Order taker (Harrison) at bistro was great, especially with the kids. Happily recommend

Good food.
We came here as a big group, so tried a variety of dishes.
My partner had the fillet steak and myself the Curry of the day which in this case was a red Thai chicken curry with rice and Flatbread. We thought both were delicious, but the steak's Diane sauce was funky. It didn't taste like Diane at all and it had chunks (from Gravy powder?) In it, we didn't eat it. The curry was very flavourful but so spicy that it made my stomach hurt. I asked the waiter if it was very spicy, she said it is a bit but she also personally can't handle spice. Therefore I thought I'd very fine as I like some spice but I was mistaken 🤣 unfortunately I couldn't finish my plate as it made my stomach hurt too much at some point but the flavour was still great, the Flatbread was delicious.
We also had Bruschetta, it was good but it was a bit dry. Would recommend a bit more vinegar or Balsamic glaze on it.
The rest of the table tried burgers, pasta, risotto and salads. Everyone seemed pretty happy with their choices.
We didn't have to wait long either, maybe 15 to 20 mins and most of the dishes (for 9 people) were ready at around the same time.
We had 2 friends that rocked up a bit later and unfortunately the wait for their food was a bit outragoes. They only had one Burger and one pasta dish and they waited nearly a full hour. That wasn't nice.
Except for that the food was nice and the prices also not too bad, would recommend.

Excellent hot fresh food, very friendly staff, will visit again

Lydia was amazing. Food was fantastic. Very well looked after by the staff.

Great lunchtime food and good service

Fun night playing trivia (Tuesday) and enjoying a delish lamb shank.

Pleasant lunch time stop.
Good food .
Good price.

Staff are all lovely, I was disappointed that a busy restaurant only had one vegetarian option
Update to my post 9 Jan 24, they now have more vegetarian options and we have eaten their several times in the last 6 months and we order pizza there regularly now for takeaway as I can now get a vegetarian pizza.
We order the pizza get told how long it will be, but they don't start cooking it until hubby has been into pay for it, which means he then has to wait for them, not that he complains as he gets a schooner

Friendly, professional staff, good food. Doesn't smell like stale cigarettes like a lot of pubs, we'll be back.

Fabulous pub. Our steak was underdone but they refunded and gave us coffee and service with a smile. I will definitely go back. 😊

Plenty of parking. Great staff. A good venue to visit.

Always lovely to come here for a meal.

Definitely a lovely place to visit.
Great specials, amazing food portions and lovely staff.
The chips are always seasoned perfectly and the parmy is always crunchy!!

Pretains to the vip room only. I am yet to venture out into the main bar area or eat at the restaurant, butr
HRH has the best pokies selection around, even if the gaming area may bit on the small side with I think around 20 machines. They've got comfy chairs, clean facilities and surprisingly, for it being a smoking area, the place doesn't stink of old ash tray. You get free unlimited post-mix soda, free snacks, even if you don't ask for them, they'll come round and offer you a snickers or packet of red rock deli chips or some lollies

Food nice,want came back try again.

Enjoyable meals for the price. Will be back again

Lovely staff, nice food which we didn't have to wait long for. Will definitely be returning!

Awesome food, great atmosphere, excellent customer service. Been a few years since my wife and I have been to a place like this.
Highly recommend and is now our go to.
