Sir Charles Darling Hotel

Best Resotto, excellent chicken schnitzel wraps, out of the world Thai beef salad, unmatched steaks and eggplant parmi, topped with nicely heated sitting area and lovely lovely service from behind the counter and kitchen. Portions are big enough for hungry people!!

Good luck!!

Group of 4 dined here over long weekend had made a booking. We were advised on arrival they were extremely busy could be delayed meals… there were none. Sun our waitress was fantastic great sense of humour all the staff were genuinely great and friendly. All our meals were tasty 😋 atmosphere was very good extensive menu if you can’t find something to eat I’d be surprised.

Lunch here was excellent, the chicken scallopini with strands of bacon, and mushrooms on a creamy sauce was very tasty and fresh. The service was A1..highly recommended.

Fantastic food, had the porter house steak veggies and the best mushroom gravy ever. Staff very freindly. Great location in town.

Huge shout out to the staff at the Charles Darling Hotel.We had lunch yesterday and the staff are amazing and the eye fillet was cooked to perfection! We had our Jack Russell with us and they brought us out a water bowl and the kitchen gave Odie treats and some steak. Outstanding food and service.

We arrived for dinner without a booking staff made us welcomed and seated us on a table even though bookings are essential . The food was excellent porterhouse steak was cooked to our perfection the mushroom sauce was one of the best I’ve had for years. Pasta was great too. If in Geelong you should definitely eat here I highly recommend it ..

We didn’t have a booking, but that was no problem they fit us in. Staff were awesome and friendly. Nothing was a bother to them, they were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend the steak… cooked to perfection.

Amazing food and staff were amazing .
The only pub we go to when we r in Geelong.

Amazing food at great prices. So many gluten free options. Exceptional service in the bistro. Think the waitress was Sara. Best service I have ever had. Should be more like this crew
Well done

We really enjoyed The Sir Charles Darling Hotel. Our meals were very all yummy, good portions & staff were very friendly.

Amazing
Lovely food, incredible service from the two sweetest staff ever, and a super friendly and helpful manager who assisted after a slight malfunction. What a happy and pleasant place to be- five stars all round from my party

Never had a bad meal here. Always great service and food. Wish I lived closer I’d be here weekly

Great pub! Love steak night. Delicious dessert (choc lava cake)

Wonderful! The staff were so friendly, accommodating, helpful and went above and beyond. Meals were excellent. Highly recommend

The food was fresh and yum with big portions.

Food was excellent here! I really enjoyed the steak sandwich and would highly recommend

Excellent menu, classics and modern menu.
Old fashioned hospitality, my new local, try it out 👖.

The stuffed chicken was juicy and the sweet potato mash was buttery and sweet. The stuffing inside the chicken was lemony with a hint of savoury from the sundried tomatoes. The garlic sauce was 'off chops'. The best I've had.

I am in the area for work and this has quickly become one of my favourite places to eat. The staff are friendly and helpful, the meals are tasty and it’s within walking distance to accomodation and the foreshore.
