Newmarket Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

We've been loyal customers to this, our local pub for many years, more recently Sunday 16th August 2020 my son wanted to celebrate his 12th Birthday here, it was his choice because he loves the pork rib plate, We booked lunch for 9 and 1 high chair, Taking into consideration the difficult times we are all facing, We complied with the signing in rules, temperature no problem , We were seated at our table and proceeded to order The teens all had the pork ribs with chicken strips they were happy with their meals We wanted 2 salmon, and were advised they were out of stock, ordered Starters 2x chiilli cheese pizza 3 pork ribs 2 spaghetti marinara 1 nacho 1 lasagna 1 ceasar salad 1 salt n pepper squid 2 bottles of wine 3 jugs of soft drinks Needless to say we spent a fair bit, In all honesty the waitresses were lovely They tried to accommodate us bringing our baby a high chair, but the food, what a total disappointment, the ceasar salad I honestly think that chef had never prepared one before, it had no taste at all, just a lump of salad, it had no love at all! Like those prepacked Coles ones are far better! I watched right infront of my eyes as our 2 pizzas walked right past our table,( we were seated right infront of the pizza makers) they navigated inside did a round of all the tables and then were bought back outside to us! Yes in covid times! The kids were happy with their ribs, the men were so so about the spagetti, serving size was small and prawns severely overcooked and dried out, grandma was ok with her salt n pepper squid, even if she didn't get the salmon she wanted, lasagna was ok And so were nachos, over all an average experience I didn't complain because I didn't want to ruin my son's birthday lunch. My husband stood up from our table with our 6 month old and he was told very firmly from "security "to sit, apparently your not allowed to stand with these new covid laws, not even if your baby is upset crying. We left there, yes I was still hungry as I left most of my salad, we had a booking upstairs at the bowling, the service was wonderful, what a happy bunch of workers there We ordered coffee, it was great, service with a smile, and we had milkshakes too which the kids loved, 5 of us bowled and everyone had fun, thank you Manhattan bowling for making my son's bday a memorable occasion As for the bistro, whole family agreed it's unlikely we...

Went here after a ten pin bowl next door at Manhatten Bowl.

I ordered a pizza as they have two serious looking pizza ovens that I figured would turn out a good result.

I opted for Pepperoni pizza at $25.

I was the last to order but first to reveive my meal so super quick.

It looks great. the crust is fluffy and puffy. It has that authentic look about it where the emphasis is on the crust, not the toppings. I bite in full of expectation, and it was initially nice, but then I couldn't help but think about what it lacked.

For starters, the pepperoni was not hot but rather tasted like salami...? It was mico fine sliced so as to cook quickly, appear to be generous and crisp up.

It was un offensive, and there lay the problem because they want to appeal to as many tastes as possible this would seem to have come at the cost of the Pepperoni which is a very basic pizza that needs the kick that chilli brings to what is just tomato base, mozzarella and the spicey sausage.

I tried the curry with Jasmine rice and found it to also be tasty, but...SAFE. There was no strong flavours or spice. This also had very dry rice like it had cooked on to the bowl used to shape it. Not fresh, soft and fragrant like you would expect.

Disappointing at the price. If you dont have very developed tastes for different cuisine or just feeding kids, it would be fine, but it's a pub full...

On the night of February 18th, I went to celebrate my birthday at the Newmarket Hotel and I would like to share my experience and compliments for the manager who was very helpful and efficient. We had a small issue with our reservation, where our table for 20 people was outdoor, but due to the rain, we urgently needed a covered table. That was when the manager came in and did everything in her power to help us.

She managed to negotiate with other tables that were leaving the venue, in order to find a covered spot for us. Although we had to wait a few minutes, she kept us updated and informed at all times, which made the wait much more pleasant. Her professionalism and attention to detail were remarkable and made all the difference.

Thanks to her diligence and dedication, we had a wonderful night at the pub. The food and drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and pleasant. But the highlight of the night was undoubtedly the manager, who did her best to ensure that we had the best possible experience.

I would recommend this pub to anyone looking for excellent service and an amazing gastronomic experience. And if you're lucky enough to have the manager helping, you'll be...
