Woolwich Pier Hotel

TLDR; lovely location, horrible kitchen, overpriced booze

Ordered 1 beef burger ($27), 1 chicken ($26). The beef burger came with an expected portion of chips, the chicken came with less than a maccas small fries, substantially less than half what came with the chicken - despite them being served and presented as though they would be equal. To their credit when i asked for the chips to be topped up they complied (with no apology), but it was still blatantly obvious there's no quality control in that kitchen.

The beef burger came with bacon, it was raw, and the portion was about the size of a potato chip, all fat. Inedible.

Both burgers were stone cold, as were the chips.

Friends ordered a steak and salad - the salad was just lettuce. No tomato, onion, dressing. Just lettuce ($43).

Ordered a jug of beer ($23), it filled 2 and 1/3rd schooners, but they charged more than they would for 3 individually purchased schooners ($7.5 each) . Ive never been to a pub before where a jug didn't pour 3 beers, nor one where they charged substantially more for the 'privellage?' of a jug. Couldn't care less about the price, but this is either the result of ineptitude of management, or worse, intentionally predatory on drunk punters.

This pub charges a premium for everything, despite falling dramatically short of the quality their price infers. It's no doubt survived based on it's location, and cashed up locals. A shame too, because it's otherwise lovely.
