Great dinner at Tanswell’s. Interesting menu, not your typical pub grub. We had yummy wild boar dumplings, delicious lamb koftas and the venison pie to share. All delicious and cooked to perfection. Fantastic service.

The hotel is a traditional one with well cooked food. The menu could do with more seafood. It is quite meat oriented.

The food is always great and I love the old atmosphere in the whole building. You’ll always find some live music here too- from full heavy bands to bluegrass and country duos. Having a beer on the top verandah is a great way to watch the town.
