27/06/2025: Small portion for the price of it, food was average, the beef had a weird texture almost like rubber. Very expensive for what it is.

20/06/2025: Chowder was good. Very crowded and one of our groups lunch was lost.

08/06/2025: Had the classic. Great home made sausage with just the right spices. Roll held together till the end. Onions and peppers were tender and fresh.

04/06/2025: Contained in the huge English Market SC ,this place stands out from all the other exceptional vendors. Just a small stall with usually only 3 workers, it can turn out food to die for. All sandwiches are make rite on the spot. You can customize or order any of the house specials. Grab a special, find a quiet spot, (not possible) and enjoy.

07/06/2025: We dropped in for a coffee and a pastry but ended up choosing a cheese muffin as it looked delicious—and it lived up to our expectations. We also purchased a potato sourdough which has a hint of nutmeg (a German influence). The member of staff was very friendly and passionate about his craft and the produce. He also speaks fluent German, which came in handy as one client seemed to only speak German. If we lived locally we would shop here on a daily basis - but only after joining the local gym. We arrived just before 9am on a Saturday and customers were soon queuing down out the door, which is a great endorsement of the quality of the produce. Great coffee too. We also purchased a slice of coffee and walnut cake and apple strudel to take away. Both were very good - the strudel wasn't too sweet and was lightly spiced, and the coffee and walnut cake was extremely light, sweet - but not sickly and very delicious. Don't miss this place.

29/04/2025: Small bakery with pastries and cafe. Very warm and friendly proprietors.

09/06/2025: We were traveling around in out Campervan. We stayed the night in the carpark beside the community centre. We walked into the pub to watch the Rugby match. We were made very welcome by the staff and the customers. We had great crack and the Murphys was very nice. Thank you for your hospitality.

17/06/2025: Lovely bar with outdoor seating. Great selection of beers. Food truck is on site from time to time, Yellow Submarine food is top notch.

12/05/2025: I stopped by while waiting for the bus not expecting much but the female staff was super friendly!! The pub was cozy and cute. great spot to chill😊

14/06/2025: The room was dirty and there were cobwebs on the walls. The food was very good but the service and waiting time were too long. I was there several times and each time the older lady who served us tried to inflate the bill. Three times in a row they tried to cheat us on the bill. The last time I was there.

11/06/2025: I have been a regular here for years but recently the quality of the food has been very disappointing. The mains dishes have oil floating on top of them, they are absolutely tasteless and some of the dishes in our order weren't even warm. I get a takeaway here every second Friday night for years and the last 2 our family got, have been put in the bin. Never mind the 40-50min wait for out food order to be ready, Very very disappointed. It looks to me like they have started to go down the route of quantity over quality.
