Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The pub is called the friendliest pub! What a joke ! There was four of us having drinksand ‘thinking’ about having lunch. The 2 ladies behind the bar were so rude that it was embarrassing . It was also embarrassing for me as these were...friends of mine from the Uk visiting kangaroo valley, for the first time and we had spent hours driving. Neither I or my friends will forget this experience! And certainly won’t be back…More

Whilst we really enjoyed our Sirloin and prawn / chorizo linguine, I was shocked to see the chef part frying battered fish for a later refry. The attention to cleanliness and customer service were pretty poor: The laminated menus we were handed were sticky. The...lovely beer-garden didn’t have any staff trawling for empty glasses or for plate collection: to stop the birds from eating remains. There was no effort to clean the beergarden tables of the accumulation of bird s**t. A member of bar staff walked past me twice without acknowledging me as I waited to order food. The mustard on the side had streaks of grey in the pot, the chef must have used a spoon from another jar. On the other hand, the pokies and TAB were supposedly removed 6 or so years ago: this means that there are more and better places to sit indoors without noise from these things. We will undoubtedly be back, but will have to insist on freshly cooked fish rather than from the pile of half cooked ones!More

Waited and waited, but they ’lost’ my order. It was relatively busy (I’ve been here more than a few times) but not *that* busy. Ruins a night. Will keep driving next time.

Great pub, fantastic food, the whole night was perfect except for the poor quality ashtray. After enjoying a delicious beverage we found ourself in the delightfully decorated smokers area only to be disappointed by a discrepancy in the quality of ashtrays. The one we were...originally using was nice, but one further down the table looked as if it was reserved only for Roman gods. A lovely gentleman noticed our disappointment and immediately offered to share the Roman gods ashtray. The night was an absolute success. What a great venue.More

The sausages were tasteless and the Thai beef salad was dry and wilting, little dressing and gristle in the beef. A very disappointing experience.

Our go-to meal destination in KV. Menu’s broad enough for all tastes, specials are great, and service is fast. We were there on Easter Sunday, and the place was humming, but even so, our meals were ready in 20 minutes. Drinks are typical pub prices,...but there are some interesting alternatives available. Wine is good quality too, and there’s shiraz on tap!More

Food was very good. I ate the salmon with chai potatoes. Was a bit disappointed when I went to the toilet as there was no soap and they didn't seem that clean.

Food was ok, usual pub grub, nothing special, for the price just ok. On the plus side food was cooked to order. Barmaid didn't quite fill up my glass to marked level but indeed charged me full price for my white wine

We did not stay there but I am sure they have accommodation. We stayed at a cottage up the road called Halcyeon which was really nice. I sure a quick phone call will give you your answer.
