Imagine sitting by the glorious Hawkesbury River on a warm sunny afternoon. There is a cold glass of Chardonnay in your hand a plate of delicious local oysters and prawns to devour. What's not to love. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, Carrie, our server, was great. Bright, bubbly and full of all the local knowledge, the food is fantastic and we had a wonderful afternoon. We will definitely be coming back. 10 out of 10!!

We called in to grab a bite to eat, what a top spot! Lovely to be able to sit outside by the river and watch the ever changing scenery. So many smiling faces, the staff were super friendly, very welcoming and informative of places to visit in the local area.
Food was amazing! We loved the outdoor rustic feel. We will be sure to promote this fabulous spot and we will be sure to return very soon.
Thanks team, keep up the good work.

Encouraged by a review in Hunter Hunter we stopped for lunch on the way home from a Sydney trip. A well organised queue system allowed one of us to sign in and line up while the other grabbed a table in the attractive riverside area. It's not cheap and not fast (but staff did tell me they have another grill on the way to speed things up) but the oysters were lovely and fresh. Even the bread was delicious with a delightful cruch on the crust. We will definately stop here again so we can try more of the interesting variety of toppings both grilled and cold.

We were excited to travel up to this place an was greeted by a lovely simple set up and beautiful views.
The place served their local oysters and smoked fish on premises. The smoker was giving off a lot of smoke when we were there but other than that, it was a lovely place to enjoy and relax.
The smoked fish was delicious but a bit pricey at $25 with a little bit of salad.
The oysters were fresh and their cheeses recommended.
My family was very happy with the place and I will visit again with other friends. A good local place to support indeed!

Booked table for 5 people overlooking the Hawkesbury River on a stunning day.
This is just such an amazing unpretentious place for lunch if you love seafood, being close to the river with great friendly service, competitive prices, freshest produce and byog.
We started with oysters, tiger prawns, smoked trout with salad and the best smoked oysters just out of the smoker.
This was our first visit and definitely there’ll be many more.
Big thanks to Peter, Deb and all the friendly team.
