   Service great from time greeted at front of Mingara, when we entered the Hadleys Restaurant and throughout our meal. Meal presented well, fresh and tasty and follow-up by staff on the meal was appreciated. Recommend this venue for any type of personal or business occasion.

   During busy holiday periods you may need more kitchen staff as we had to wait 1.30 hours for our meals. I noticed quiite a few other people asking where their order was as they had to wait a long time. Otherwise everything was good.

   Overall it was ok for a club. Food was not good. The vibe and eating area was really good I love it since the Reno. But food needs a lot of work. Nothing about it would make me come back here.

   I booked a table outside they put us inside. I ordered a medium rump steak it came out almost blue and full of fat was the worst steak I have eaten. Pizza was terrible other steak was ok but waisted money for terrible food.

   We were booked to be outside (alfresco) but it was a hot day and the attendant found us a booth just to the side of the bar inside. She was lovely, cleared and cleaned the table for us. Nice quiet spot, food was delicious. Service was excellent! We’ll definitely be back. Thanks 👍

    We still go to Hadleys for convenience but on recent visits we have all commented that there appears to have been a change in management? Mingara generally appears to be constantly short of staff in the bar, cafe and restaurant. Food quality and size of servings is less consistent. The menu has been reduced and there were no specials offered on our last visit in Hadley’s. We’ve experienced much longer delays in getting our meals and at times had orders missed and/or entrees served with mains. We acknowledge that if the Members Draw jackpot is high that the club gets very busy but these same issues occur regardless of whether the club is busy or not. And in the past when busy, the club was staffed accordingly . We’ve not raised this with the staff or management who serve on the floor as they are all doing the best they can and don’t deserve to have to deal with complaints. This is an issue for senior management who are cutting costs. Maybe it’s related to the construction of the hotel? But Members have noticed and are choosing to visit less often or order defensively now and reduce spend when we do visit. Cost of living should not be blamed - it’s the consistently poor offer that is reducing our spend. Dropping standards and service to cut costs is short-sighted and will impact the bottom line of the club long-term.
