I can't call The Great Northern Hotel in Teralba my local due to living 45 minutes away, but it has definitely now become a fabourie. You see, my usual haunt won best schnitzel in the Hunter - but after our visit to The Great Northern Hotel, I have to wonder if the judges simply missed this gem.
We came in as a family of four and ordered three schnitzels between us. We didn't order entrees and still couldn't finish the plates. The portion sizes were genuinely jaw-dropping, and the flavour? Absolutely spot on. Every bite was balanced, crispy, and satisfying. The topper range was creative and generous, and the chips were hands down some of the best I’ve had in years.
We ended up staying for trivia, and the good vibes just kept coming. The staff handed out extra Easter eggs to my daughters just to make them smile. That kind of unprompted kindness is rare and unforgettable.
When the weather turned bad (our family gathering of 15 people) were quickly accommodated to relocate inside without a fuss.
Every interaction with the team was joyful. The kind of service that makes you feel like you're exactly where you're meant to be. Even the other patrons were respectful and easygoing, which speaks volumes about the venue’s vibe.
Honestly, this place is a solid 11 out of 10. It’s rare that a venue gets every part of the experience right. From food to atmosphere to staff, The Great Northern nails it. An easy five...
Read moreMy husband and I finally made it to the Great Northern Hotel in Teralba for a little lunch date before school pick-up, and wow, I’m so glad we did!
This place has that classic old-school pub feel 🥰. The outdoor area is stunning. Spacious, inviting, and perfect for kids (and I was told it’s soon getting a playground too 🙌🏼). Everything was clean and tidy, inside and out, and the menu was awesome, and hard to make a decision! (Wish I took a pic)
Our meals were HUGE and absolutely delicious! I had the prawn pizza 😍 and my husband had the schnitty with bacon and avo topper. Everything was hot and fresh and full of flavour! I had a glass of Shiraz, he had a Stone & Wood, all up $75. The quality of the food and the size of the meals was well worth it.👌🏼
But honestly, the best thing was the service from the lovely ladies there today. Genuinely happy and friendly people. ☺️
We usually default to Harrigan’s out of convenience, but it often leaves us underwhelmed with food and service. This gem of a pub is right up there with Holmesy Pub, another one of our faves!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10,...
