What an absolutely fabulous place! Small, comfortable, dog-friendly (and also very friendly to people!). The staff were really helpful and the food was delicious (especially the Riviera Burger - quality meat, topped with melted Brie). We will definitely return next time we're in Melbourne!

I had the most amazing Sunday lunch with my parents today. Our usual pub was fully booked so we thought we would try here and what an absolute gem of a place it was. The service was fantastic and the food simply gorgeous and very reasonably priced. I cannot fault this place and we will most definitely be back again.

Popped in for a bite to eat and was not disappointed, had the lamb burger which was delicious. The owners were lovely and very chatty and we will most definitely return.

Came here for lunch after walking near Staunton Harold reservoir. Lovely calm pub atmosphere, nice for young families, good selection of drinks on draught and a good burger menu.We had the British lamb burger and Texas burger, food was great. As was the service, good recommend a drink and the chef personally asked how was the slaw as he was trying a new recipe, was pleased to tell him it was ace! Highly recommended if in the area

Nice pub! We got there just before 6pm and was able to order our burgers just in time before the kitchen closed at 6pm.They have a good range of burgers all with its little twist. We all ordered different burgers - I had the Italian pizza burger, one had the katsu curry burger, another the Mexican burger and the texas bbq burger they all came with chips and onion rings on the side all for 12.95 Definitely recommend you going if you are in the area! We were well looked after. Toliets were clean too!
