We stopped in for dinner and were pretty impressed with menu options and prices. Enjoyed the lamb burger and seafood salad. Will be back.

B. G.

Lovely spot to have a lovely cold cider on a 31 degree day. Also our wee dog was welcomed with a bowl of water and ice.

P. H.

Nothing I could fault this place on, Amazing staff , Tasty chicken nibbles and the creamy pasta ohhh my it left me wanting more highly recommended

T. J.

Good quality and quantity food, good beers, great customer service. Sewfood chowder is a must for anyone who enjoys seafood. It has prawns, mussels and other chewy bits of seafood in a yummy, salty, rich creamy sauce. Have it as entrée for $14, followed by anything else from the menu. I personally like combination of seafood chowder entrée followed by a lamb shank.

D. C.

Always a favourite with this family! Had a 'main' of fish chowder this visit while the rest of the party enjoyed equal fare. Service friendly and efficient and surroundings very "comfortable". A favourite of our Alexandra hosts and we can see why!!!

e. b.

Food was absolutely perfect. steak was cooked perfect, the dips and bread are amazing and drinks nice and chilled chips weren't over battered all round excellent meals and restraunt you definitely get your money's worth 10/10 would recommend

A.

Seafood Chowder was really good, sadly you have to pay extra for bread but entree size was big enough without the bread, if your not too hungry The $25 Fish (Orange Roughy) & Chips was perfect, 2 peices of good sized nicely Battered fish with garden salad also, or for $35 you get 4 peices 😊

R.

The very best beverages had to drive past a few to get this good a beer range. Well done

G. B.

Meal was really nice, but waiting time was long..asked for dessert menu but after half hour got up and left as guy never came back

Z. Š.

I was expecting much more from the reviews. But it wasn't just disappointing based on overhyped place. The lamb burger wasn't good even without the big expectation. The lamb was overseasoned with thyme. So there was basically no taste of lamb. The onion rings were overfried so they were hard. It all looked nice but didn't taste very well. Much better was the soup of the day - tomato & bacon, but it would be even better with a bit more texture by adding a bit of golden crunchy bacon on top

K. T.

Food delicious, staff friendly. Will definitely be back here again 😊

J. F.

Great food and ambience, Kind staff and very quick service with a well priced and large menu that offered plenty of options.

R. M.

Amazing Staff and beautiful cat

c. w.

Nice food and beverages , reasonable prices .And you can take your doggies in if your sit outside.

B. C.

Central to township, we sat outside in the sun. Great atmosphere, awesome friendly and knowledgeable staff. Food...omg. You gotta try!!!!

J. E.

It's alright. Nice sunny spot. Chicken salad had no pazzaz. But service was nice

A. M.

Stopped with my partner for lunch and to try their beers. His lamb burger was well cooked but he said it was a bit too sweet by the end. Our meal seemed too expensive but I wasn't offered an itemized receipt and just paid anyways and left. We quickly decided the total really wasn't right and went back inside. Turns out we had been incorrectly charged for a drink we never ordered - the staff were quick to fix it with a refund.

B. B.

What a great place. Food amazing and service excellent. thank you

C. P.

Great atmosphere, Rugby was average... lol

H. Y.

Yummy food!! I was very impressed. We ordered the lamb Greek salad and lamb burger. Both were delicious!! I also got a cuppa English Breakfast which was fabulous. I would definitely return.

F. O.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a friendly face and menus. We had a choice of seating. Beautiful day so we sat outside in the shade. Comfy seating. We had the orange roughy. Absolutely beautiful. Would definitely go again.

A. S.

Excellent food and beer, and accommodating staff. A lot of cyclists on the rail trail miss this as they come to other food places first - their loss! Would def come here again. Lamb burger and seafood chowder were highlights

Great service,great place for a drink.

R. H.

Service was great but food is basic pub food, i.e. the battery on the fish was very thick, little pricey for what I was too. Overall though the place was nice and the service great.1

V. H.

Great little pub where we enjoyed a quick lunch on the journey. Was warm and wecoming on a cold day. Standard pub fare but tasty.

S. G.

Clean pace, very quite Fire place was closed off which may not be a good thing. Little fire would be nice to see and feel in a cosy places.

J. L.

Really enjoyed the lamb meal we had the other night. Beautifully cooked. We did NOT enjoy the beef steak in the previous meal as a huge lot of fatty gristle in it, so not confident to ever order steak again.

K. H.

The speed they bring the food out is unreal. So quick! Great outside area for the kids to potter around.

M.

Great service - thank you.

D. D.

D. B.

Public holiday. Good Friday. Place full. Ordered mushroom soup which was excellent plus Main which came out before I had finished soup. Owner came out to sort and shouted next drink. Large meals. Service very good under pressure. Courtesy van to take us to our accommodation. Over all great experience. Will return next time in Alexandra.

I went to Monteith's with some of my friends to check it out, it was delicious! All of us loved their food. I personally had the chicken burger - the flavors blended together well. I will be back!

T. B.

When we turned up there was a live band playing that were way too loud. Fortunately they only did two more songs then packed up. Also disappointing is there is No WIFI there at all. The food was good though!

K. S.

Had the chicken salad, it was good. The people who had the pasta really enjoyed theirs. I was impressed with the way they dealt with the one meal where there was a glitch...Would go again.

B.

Very nice meal.

L. F.

Quiet as a long weekend, chips were good, bao buns were alright. Decent venue, probably good for a work do etc.

D. F.

I was a bit disappointed today. Service staff were not their usual attentive friendly selves and the wine I did not enjoy....perhaps just my taste. However warm environment to catch up with friends and the hot chips were amazing!!
