Tudor Hotel Tamworth — Restaurant in New South Wales

One of the worst dining experiences we've ever had in Australia. Started badly when we arrived for dinner in the level 1 restaurant and were the only one there. We sat at a window table and were told that the lights don't work and when the sun went down would be sitting in the dark. Unsure if they've heard of an electrician or change a light globe!! We then moved to another table in the bar area- table pretty much busted as was rocking all over the shop. We were starving so couldn't be bothered moving again. Went to the bar to order a Chardonnay from the 9x whites. Of course didn't have what we wanted in stock - only had 2x choices being the house wine or most expensive. For food what a shambles. Spring Rolls came out frozen in the middle had to send them back. The crab pasta was just edible and the ceaser salad a joke. Bacon pieces and croutons straight from a packet- and sauce hardly existent- straight up woeful. To top of the horrendous experience was the awful attitude of the young female waitress- no interest in being there and just wanted to finish. Very disappointed and won't be back...

Honestly, where do I start. If there was a zero star out of five option, that’s what I would award this place. The service was average - nothing to write home about, however my concern was predominately based on the completely dismal quality of the meals received. The corn tasted of chicken noodle soup flavouring, the pumpkin salad consisted of half a cold (still semi solid, undercooked) pumpkin with a few bits of leafy lettuce. Some salad….. The chips however absolutely reeked of the cheapest possible, week old, semi burnt oil, a stench so strong even the runny aioli couldn’t compensate and mask the flavour. Not to mention for two starters and two mains it was nearly $90. Not sure if this is the standard quality expected and received at this place, but I can’t say I’ve ever had such a miserable dining experience, all I can say is I recommend dining literally anywhere else. Truth be told I’d rather consume my dogs dinner than be subject to this atrocity ever again. Congratulations for serving up the worlds worst dinner, I’m currently praying for no food...

Backwater bogan staff member who changed his tune pretty damn quick when he overheard a conversation in which my partner mentioned/inferred he is gay. First drink, and asked to leave? Blew 0.0% on the breath tester, which they tried to refuse him access to. Won't be going back. Will be taking action with the local liquor authorities. Tudor is a basic-venue with nothing special about it anyway, but it is unfortunately one of the only pubs still operating right in the CBD, at some reasonable hours it's the only one open. I suppose they don't have to try to do anything special, offer anything good or even be reasonably polite. ...then again they don't want us gays to spend our money there... so perhaps our experience is not indicative of others, but I won't give them another...
