We all enjoyed our recent visit to a neighbourhood favourite "Naughtons". The one slightly disappointing issue was that one of the two Curry Specials had sold out by the time we ordered at 6.15pm.

Have to be my favourite pub . The specials are the best value for money . Steak all day and into the night on a Tuesday and roast for $24 on a Sunday . Excellent service from our waiter “Darius” so professional and knowledgeable . I like to dine here every couple of months as I live on the Mornington Peninsula and this would have to be the best pub meal ever . So Thankyou I will be back .
