The $29 Bill Cutting Breast dish had a juicy piece of chicken breast π . It was perfectly cooked and was easy to cut + eat. Mashed potatoes π₯ was creamy and the flavour complimented well with the wine/herb sauce. Coleslaw itself was standard, couldβve done with some seasoning π§in my opinion.
The other dishes such as the mixed platter and veggie nachos had if portions, but flavours were typical of pub/bar food otherwise. Garlic bread π₯ was not too bad, I did like the taste of the butter π§ and pesto sauce.
I especially appreciated the ambiance that I experienced in my visit. The interior delivers a vintage, but kiwi style hospitality that is welcoming to both adults and children. It goes well with the friendly waitresses on the upstairs floor. Despite being a busy Saturday night, they made sure that our food and drinks arrived in a timely manner π
We went on the night the ironside steak was $25.00 was amazing meal, we had to wait a bit to be seated as the place was packed, we weren't asked if we want dessert, which we did, pretty good service, but it was the meal that got the 4* for me.
This place is great for a few brews and a feed with mates. There's a nice sheltered courtyard if you don't mind the odd smoker and the service is tops! Thank you to the friendly waitress for your recommendation about the chicken and bacon burger. I was not disappointed!
It comes with a decent amount of chicken, grilled cheese on the top and bottom of the bun, bacon, onions, tomato, lettuce and a generous amount of fries. Love the signature burger sauce - like big mac sauce just better!
Great service. Staff are helpful and really friendly. Place has a good vibe wether your having dinner or just out for a cheeky or 2. Recommend this place to anyone who hasnt tried it.
Went there for the last big test match, had a 200g steak dinner with beer. Good old Kiwi tucka, but I really loved the steak, was a true medium rare! Juicy and tender, the way I like it. Even the outer edges, where it cooks faster, were still red, juicy and well seared. Other places overcook those parts (some even cooking it till well done!) having left the steak on the grill too long, but this is one of those rare places that gets it just right. Kudos to the skills of the chef!
In summary, this is pretty good for pub food. Don't come here expecting fine dining, and you won't be disappointed.
This is a great place to go for a great meal with friends and/or family, I have been here many times (mostly on Tuesday nights)
Tuesday night is steak night (400g steak, chips, slaw, egg, and a drink, for $25)
I would highly recommend calling and making a booking (even if you only make the booking when you get into the car)
They have a great menu and will make a adjustment as requested
The food was really great and customer service was really good to start off with, but went downhill as the night went on. We booked a table for 7:30pm and were told we had to sit at a high table until our table was ready so we ordered a few drinks and waited. We were then told we should order our food quickly as there were two large groups ordering soon. We finally got to our seated table at 8pm only to wait for a further 50 min for our food. I really wanted to rate 5 stars, but waiting 50 min for your mains was way too long (4 ordered steak meals and 1 ordered the filo meal). I get it's Christmas and they're busy but should be told meals would take that long. Food was cooked well and great value.
Meet with friends for brunch...eggs are always poached to perfection and they brew a great coffee. Great atmosphere and service! Love their 2-4-1 mains ππ
I was here recently for lunch with a group of friends. The quality, portions and price of our meals was superb and the service was exceptional. We are all looking forward to returning at some time
Good honest tasty food with generous portions, easily cater for large groups of diners. Diner comes out in reasonable time considering the busy nite. The staff are helpful and attentive and billing is very accurate.
Great starters and meal! If you are a fan of spice i highly recommend the wings! They will definitely leave you "warm" or dial back on the spice and try the cajun calamari! That paired with their house chipotle sauce will leave your mouth watering for more. Moving on to my main (i had "The Ironside 400g sirloin steak meal with extra garlic butter) the steak was only very slightly over cooked for what was asked for, but please do not let that statement detract from the amazing meal that it was! The atmosphere was VERY loud, however, it is after all a Bar Restaurant so that is to be expected.
I do highly recommend if staying near Johnsonville to make a booking and head on down!
Friendly staff. Good food and fast service.
We had pork ribs and the serving is huge, good bang for your buck.
Good place with great selection of food and decent prices.
Thursday night special are worth it. Any main foe $25.
Decent atmosphere.
Only thing I have to say is make sure you pick your own beer and don't rely on staff recommendations as the ones they recommend taste like toilet water.

Tuesday night and the place was heaving. Mind you, a good steak meal and a drink for $29 and you can't go wrong. Despite being out in the courtyard on a cold night, it was pleasantly comfortable and wait staff were friendly.
This would be our 3rd visit together as a
3-some as it's usually 4 of us.
Lil sis, mum and I enjoyed our lovely starters of twister prawns followed by our lovely main meal of steak, chicken, and burger meal with lovely salad and hot chips. The service also so good as usual, considering the many diners in at the time... See you next time and thanks again for always such a great meal and likewise service.
PS Wow I had to take a pic of the cool art work in the ladies. No, I never had any alcohol(not that day!)!
πππ π΄πππ
Really busy but even so we had great service. Food was yummy and they had live music which set a nice scene.

Our party of four enjoyed our visit to 1841. Friendly service. Good food. Adequate portions. Lots of sport options on TVs dotted around the place. It was bigger than I expected. Easy parking.
Absolutely loving their steak ! Good value for money despite some small increments.
200g Ironside steak was delicious as ever. I usually get this, and I'm never disappointed! Steak was done nicely and really tasty! Chips are fresh and crispy. The garlic butter is a nice touch whether you leave it on your steak or leave it to melt over the chips:) and I never have any complaints about the rest of the dish. You will definitely be full after this meal. The protion sizes are generous at 1841.
Our waitress was friendly and accommodating. She mentioned that she was about 3 weeks new to the job, but we all thought she did a great job!
