The Tamworth Hotel — Restaurant in New South Wales

Went here for dinner tonight, what an overpriced disappointment. I ordered the salmon, there was none (and hasn't been/won't be available for a while) so I ordered the lamb shanks and my partner had the scotch fillet (medium). The $44 scotch fillet looked and tasted like an overcooked piece of topside. The lamb shanks were nice but they weren't "shanks" it was ONE shank. I'm not sure how long this apparent "typo" has been on your menu but if you're not aware already it's actually ILLEGAL to give false or misleading information. I was left so hungry that I started eating the complimentary bar snacks - which is a really nice idea, especially as the meals you pay for are so small. The only thing wonderful about this place was the lovely lady Emily who took our order. She has great energy, very friendly and accommodating. I feel sorry for her having to constantly explain to customers that meals on the menu are either unavailable or not as described.||I read another review saying the Tamworth Hotel were advertising $1 oysters on their website and on a sign out the front of their hotel, but were told, once inside, that there were no oysters. The owners response was sorry, due to public holiday the oysters weren't fresh, I'm sure you don't want week old oysters........ ||What a pathetic response, seriously. It's YOUR responsibility to check your advertising is CORRECT and UP TO DATE. It takes 2 seconds to write "N/A" on the sign advertising the oysters, or put an update your Facebook page or website - given they were a "week old" it sounds life to had plenty of time to warn customers and update your advertising. Yet another example of false and misleading...

I came in for country music yeehaww was there multiple times in the week. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the staff was good for the most part (issues with two people) but there was two girls who stood out. One was an American girl who was absolutely one of the sweetest and hardworking staff I’ve ever met and an older women with red hair who was just so kind I think her name was Julie. I came up to the American girl to order food and she remembered my order from the night before in a sea of chaos from country music. I had an issue with some of the bar staff one girl who said her name was Tazmina her overly bubbly personality that switched off the second I brought my drink back because she mixed the wrong alcohol in it (she seemed drunk). Then her friend named Stella who couldn’t listen to our concerns about tazmina. The two of them were just extremely rude about the whole situation and told me there was no management present. Also watched that tazmina drink some vodka and steal a few Red Bulls...

As myself and two lady friends went to this establishment we were taken back by it’s first impressions. Walking in the front doors of the pub was a lightly lit bar, creating a cool and relaxing atmosphere. The copper handles and dark wood was pleasantly complimented by a historic tartan carpet. As we walked further through to the beer garden we had been moistened by mystified water particles falling from the well placed above head reticulation system implanted among the vines. We decided to have a late lunch anticipating the standard country options. But we wound ourself up to our elbows in a succulent chicken taco as my other lady friend ate what could only be described as a well pulled pork. 🤤 I myself, ate a thick, juicy and lightly blooded rump, which cut like butter with their highly efficient cavalier steak knifes. If anyone was looking at visiting or passing through Tamworth your life will only be known as dim, if you don’t take the time to experience what the pub has to offer. Slightly...
