Alderley Arms Hotel

The Alderley Arms is a really great place to have a drink and meal. It has a cosy, friendly feel about it. The staff are really nice and helpful. Enjoy!

Very much a working man’s pub. Good though and not shady or anything. Just good old salt of the earth types.

TAB and pokies.

The A.A. has a warm, homely and welcoming ambience, with carpets, exposed brick columns, low mood lamps, wooden furniture and timber features. It’s a large and well ventilated space with multiple dining and entertaining areas. We sat in the main dining area, in a booth type arrangement with comfy upholstered leather bench seating. Being a Sun night, there was only a smattering of other diners, enough to give it a bit of atmosphere but with a chilled, relaxed, and laid back vibe. Acoustics were perfect.

Both the food and drink ordering can be done at the bar in the usual way, but I prefer the app ordering. It streamlines the process and allows you to better manage your budget for the night. Payment is done automatically, once your order is complete and submitted, so there’s no hanging around after the meal, waiting for the bill, then going elsewhere to make payment. It’s all very simple and easy and in my experience it also means that service is more efficient and meals always come out quickly. You can link your Monty’s Rewards club membership to the ordering app, so that you’ll never miss out on the 5% discount on drinks and meals.

First up, the drinks: A schooner of my fav Byron Bay ale and an Espresso Martini for my wife, beautifully prepared by the bartender and brought out to the table.

When it came to the food, being just my wife and I, we shared three dishes: the Turkish bread with dips, the beef rissoles with peas and mash, and the salt and pepper calamari. The Turkish bread was hot and crunchy and came with three smooth and creamy dips: baba ghanoush, hummus and pesto. The perfect way to start the meal. The other dishes didn’t disappoint either. The beef rissoles were tender and tasty, and well complemented with the fresh peas and mash potato. The calamari was succulent and tender in a crispy batter served with beetroot salad, lemon and small bowl of aioli sauce. We both enjoyed our meals.

The Alderley Arms is a part of the A.L.H. Group chain of hotels and pubs around the country. We’ve dined at many of them and never been disappointed with the experience. What I especially appreciate about A.L.H. hotels are the modest prices. Just check out their online menu and you’ll see what I mean. There are further savings if you’re a Monty’s Rewards Club member, and long-suffering seniors get special deals too, with discounted meals and a $5 dessert. Just as an example, we paid a very reasonable 45 pesos for three meals: the Turk bread with dips, the calamari and the rissoles. And it’s not as if they’re skimping on either quality or quantity. Serving sizes are generous and the food is carefully prepared with love, care and attention to detail, and presented to the table on stylish white crockery. Drink prices are moderate too, and there are always specials. On the night that we dined, schooners of Byron Bay ale were on sale for only 8 pesos, A handcrafted espresso martini was 15, and of course, 5% of that too. This is a huge boon to us seniors, to be able to still enjoy a night out without ending up in the debtors prison. Thanks to the A’L.H. Group for making dining out affordable, especially as we endure “Weimar Republic” levels of hyperinflation.

Toilets are clean, well provisioned and easy to find, just behind the gaming room, and congrats to this venue for providing a disposal unit for hygiene prods in the MEN’S toilet, something all venues should do.

Parking is a breeze in the huge car park right outside the front door, and there’s also a handy and well stocked BWS liquor store on the same premises, so that you can stock up the liquor cab on your way out.

We had a really pleasant, relaxing and fun night out at the A.A. Hotel. Ordering is easy using the app and the food was outstanding and served in generous portions. Service was fast, efficient and friendly and prices were modest, representing excellent value for money. The ambience is casual and relaxed, with ample free parking and clean toilets. Everything you could want for a perfect night out with family or friends.

Nice pub with friendly staff and a good atmosphere. We were there on Tuesday night and joined in the free Quizzame quiz night which was very entertaining and good fun. Food looks nice with daily specials and a huge car park out the back with plenty of parking. You can play on the pokies there till 4am, if that is your thing. Enjoyed $5 schooners of Great Northern 4.2% all night and will come back again.

Jess went above and beyond for my partner and I. Every time I am at the Alderley arms she makes me feel so welcome and loved. I will not go anywhere else.

Thanks to DC, who made our day. Best service, drinks and atmosphere. Cheers!

Had birthday party there the team could have not been more helpful we eat there frequently and have never had a bad meal

Great Hotel to have a ice cold Beer with your friends or even a nice meal for lunch or dinner you can even play a game of pool , pokies, have a bet or play dart's...

Love that they have a seniors menu. Great food without over eating. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. Only thing that would improve the pub would be an outdoor dog friendly space that's smoke free.

Enjoyed my first visit and subsequent visits, 3 in all so far in 2023. Great service and they have my favorite on tap, "Guinness". Food is great and plenty of it at a very reasonable price.

Been going here on Saturdays a few times a month recently. The karaoke from Backstage Karaoke has been awesome. The security guard that is always on Saturdays and the staffs on Saturdays are all amazing. Thanks for being so welcoming.

Had a fantastic function for our daughters 21st. Food and service was excellent and DC was very helpful organising and faciliating our event. Thank you to all staff involved

Another great meal shared with my soul mate of some 57 years. The seniors meal of roast turkey was fabulous. As was the dessert. Made an even more enjoyable evening by the polite and ultra helpful staff, Annabelle in particular. As I’ve said often in the past “We’ll be back”. Thanks, this old couple had a great evening

Excellent food and great friendly staff and security and staff get up and sing in the karaoke alderley arms hotel

Good place to grab something to eat, play pool and have a drink, or 2!

Staff are
Great
Another great local ALH Pub

Have been coming to the Alderley Arms hotel once every few weeks since my partner and I moved just across the road months ago. Both service and food are consistently flawless, no fail.
My partner loves the ribs so much he holds them as a standard to which he compares all the ribs he has elsewhere; I am partial to their chicken schnitzel but ordered a variety of food over time and it’s always been outstanding.
Staff is always pleasant, professional and friendly. Service is quick and drinks are great.
Very lucky to have this as our local!

Really good pub, looks recently renovated. I had a pub counter meal it was massive and delicious. Had a game of pool and beer. Staff were friendly and patient.

My first visit, Catch up with ex work mates. I will be returning.

A wonderful place to eat, chill and have a good time. Very friendly stuff.
