    The menu was good and what you’d expect from a wholesome traditional pub. Food and service was excellent. Good selection of craft beers. Reasonably quiet bistro area allowing easy conversations in a relaxed environment. Not really a “5 star dining experience”, but for a traditional somewhat dated pub, couldn’t have got much better.

    Great food, amazing wine list, beautiful breeze through big open windows on a lovely summer evening with friends. This place is a big draw card in The Basin! Staff were super friendly and helpful. They adapted a couple of dishes for us which was fab. Would definitely recommend to others as a good place for a meal to celebrate , or just because!

    I asked if they would do a veg. Lasagne and I got a message telling me as of tonight they would be serving one and boy was it worth the wait. The food was delicious and the virgin pina colada was lovely. We will be returning very soon.

    At the base of the Sherbrooke Forest just out of Belgrave is this little distillery is a gem. With private nooks, outdoor seating & tasting area, it has something for everyone. The cocktails are as fancy as the food and staff are lovely and attentive. As a local, I love to take my interstate & overseas guests here to showcase what great places we have here in the hills.
