I came for their pot pie but sadly they were sold out for the day. Fortunately they have excellent other delicious options available. Front: Fish of the day (Ocean Trout). Back: Fish and chips. Middle: Vesuvio pizza. Fish of the day had a beautiful crispy skin, smooth potato salad, a dollop of beautifuly tasty mayonnaise and side. I love the fresh take on Fish and chips, not greasy, light fresh flavor. Do away with the take away Fish and chips, you can't be disappointed with this version.Their woodfire pizza was light, full of flavor and never soggy. The dough was nice and crisp, all the things you want in a woodfire pizza. Top this with a fresh cold beer and it's a fantastic way to spend a nice Sunday afternoon. I'll definitely be back. I can't wait.

One of the best food experiences in Sydney. Exquisite food. Exceptional beer. Great company and great staff. The customer service is second to none. I’ll be back next weekend. The weekend after. And the weekend after that.

Had 'pre dinner' drinks there last night. We were offered seating in the lounge area just above 'Rita's' dining area and we could not fault the service and friendliness of the staff.

I had dinner tonight with 3 teenage boys ( lucky me !) service was a bit slow to start but they are just getting into the groove. New kitchen new crew. It will take a bit. The food was great ! We had the flatbread and humous for starters and shared the slow cook lamb between the 4 of us. Nobody left hungry ! The salad was teeny tiny. Would be good if a bit bigger !! Will go back.

I generally love going to this pub... it's relaxed Irish vibe with great food always makes for a great lunch or dinner � however ... I went last night for st paddys day and I went last year as well. Last year you had this epic fiddler duo on which was awesome to dance to and enjoy the Irish atmosphere... I seriously had a very memorable and great night there and he place was packed!! But what happened this year?? A blues and roots band... seriously? They were good not giving them a bad wrap but they were not right.... the people wanted Irish!! They played an Irish song at the end after a lot of crowd pressure and everyone danced and sung!! Please please please do Irish band in the evening next year!!

Went here for a hens party , it was a really hot day the dining room with the glass roof was unfortunately really hot , management should invest in some industrial fans for this area as it was quite uncomfortable, but other than that the service was good and I had the steak sandwich which was really good I would definitely come back again .

We stayed here when we got married in Sydney. We had our rehearsal dinner in the restaurant and our bridal party and us stayed in the accommodation upstairs. They were incredibly obliging and helpful, went above and beyond to accommodate us and were generally awesome. Room for improvement on mattress comfort and fan noise, but other than that completely awesome and lovely accommodation and venue.

We had a party for my daughter at the Cat and Fiddle. Ben the manager and his staff were only too happy to help make this night a success.They arranged for an area of the Garden room for our exclusive use. The food was great.All our guests had a great time.Ben and his team had only been managing the place for a week, but there was nothing that was too much trouble for them to arrange.(just a bit of background - the previous management has not told Ben about booking so we were an unexpected party. They did miracles to make the night work)
