I’ve had the roast pork at Mac’s Hotel before and it was beautiful — great flavour, decent slices of pork, proper crackling, fresh chips and gravy that tied it all together perfectly. But this time was the complete opposite.
I went on 28 November 2025 and ordered the roast of the day again, which was pork, and it was a real disappointment for $29. The portion size was okay, but the quality wasn’t. I got three very thin slices of pork with no crackling at all — which is supposed to be the best part of any roast pork. The meal wasn’t hot, it tasted microwaved, and it was already going cold when it arrived.
The chips were overcooked, most of them stuck together, and the whole meal was bland. Honestly, I would’ve been better off going to Coles, grabbing their roast pork and some chips — it would’ve been cheaper and 100% better.
My partner ordered the lasagna, and that was just as disappointing. It was completely tasteless, mostly just a heap of dry mince with barely any cheese and only one sheet of pasta. Why even call it lasagna if it’s basically dry mince with a single pasta sheet and hardly any cheese?
I don’t know if they had a different cook on the night, or if there were too many people and they just couldn’t be bothered serving proper fresh food — but whatever the reason, it really showed.

Decided to go local for dinner and was really impressed with this pub! My partner and I opted to the rump steak, which was cooked perfectly medium rare, served with chips and salad, and a side of mushroom sauce. We finished off with a delicious banana fritter for dessert (it was huge! Kids would love this!) Doris was super accommodating and made us feel right at home!! Lovely family-friendly atmosphere with kids running around too — we will definitely be back for a mid week feed.

Delicious food. Had the Barramundi burger on the summer specials menu. Was really good. Could have done with a lil extra sauce on the side, but otherwise the patty itself was perfect. Beautifully crumbed and cooked perfectly. Children had a ball of a time at the play area. Ducking in and out for their meals.
Staff are very kind and a smile on their face despite being a busy Arvo. Special shout out to Dorris and the bar tender, manning their respective counters, so busy!

I should come here more often. Forget the food court at Woodgrove. The staff are absolutely amazing, very friendly and helpful.
The roast pork today was exceptional. And no sight of a ugly pea. They have the most delicious beans and baked carrots.
Tonight I had the pleasure of being served the most delicious scollaped potatoes.
They have reintroduced fruit tingles cocktail.
The staff this evening were very friendly and professional.
The other patrons are so friendly and supportive. The conversation just flows regardless the age difference.
Tonight for my birthday I arrived alone and even though I left alone I met some wonderful people
I most definitely encourage people to visit this venue.

Bella was absolutely amazing serving us today. We have been coming to Mac’s semi-regularly for years now & it keeps getting better and better. We love the food, the customer service is amazing, kids love the play ground & the toilets are usually pretty clean (big plus!). 5 stars I highly recommend.
