Crescent Head Country Club — Restaurant in Crescent Head

Stopped in for dinner while in town. Make sure you have your ID on you or the Service NSW app because you need to check in at the front as this is also a VIP room/pub/TAB/betting/alcohol store. Vibe is very relaxed and welcoming of the whole community. The dining hall is massive. Grab a printed menu from the food ordering window then find a table.

Right nearby and much better service!!!! The country club could learn a thing or two from...

Honestly, we weren’t expecting much, at the Chinese restaurant in a bowling club in a tiny surfing village on the north coast, but we were very pleasantly surprised.

Way better than a lot if not most of the Sydney Chinese restaurants we’ve experienced. Friendly staff, actually interested in where we’re from, great budget wine list. What’s not to rave about. Thank you Mrs Ho @ bamboo. Loved...
