    The staff were friendly and great service. The food was very average. Calamari Main very poor salad, calamari tiny bits and included octopus pieces which is not calamari. Prawn pasta was tasty but only included 6 prawns, very oily. First visit will not return.

    Chicken parma was very tasty and a good sized portion. Funny that you need to self-serve.

    Eaten here many many times. Permanent part time locals. Food great quality and consistent Great basic pub food, caters well to kids and has some higher end selections as well. Can get a bit too noisy, back ground music can be a bit too loud

    Fantastic venue, but service and food below average. Waited 55 minutes for 4 kids meals and two Parma's. Both Parma's burnt, one of the kids meals came out ten minutes after all the other meals. Staff friendly but service terrible, and over $300, not worth going there again.

    The Wooli tavern is our local. We have always given great reviews. We love going here, but last night the service was quite poor and food not up to the usual great standards. Staff rolled their eyes when we mentioned that there were not enough chairs at our table for everyone, that I had booked for.

    The meat for the parma and kids schnitzel was dry. The kids sappghetti in napolitana sauce was very disappointing. Pasta in tomato sauce. Why cant kids meals have flavour and actually be tasty. Overall disappointing as we came here 18 months ago and the food was amazing.

    Booked a table for dinner at 6.30pm. I ordered at 6.50 and I saw there was a sign behind the counter saying 60 min wait but the person at the counter didn’t say anything so I started to assume that it was going to take a while for the food to come out. Just after an hour I went to the counter to ask how long it would be, they said 10-15 min. The food came out about 25 min after that. Eating dinner at 8.30 for a 6.30 booking isn’t good enough.

    The staff at Wooli Tavern were highly accommodating when at the last minute we added an extra two people to our booking. It was a Saturday night in peek summer period so this was especially tricky for them but they still did it for us.
