Great comfort food. The meal portions were huge. We started with the shared platter for two which had lots of flavours and textures. All went together beautifully. We both has steaks for the main. I had with mushrooms and hubby had garlic butter. Both cooked to what we had ordered=perfecto. Wasn't expecting so much mushroom sauce. Dessert was really hard to choose from as there was a great variety. Will definitely be going back!

Our entire family group thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Black Dog Cafe.

The meals were delicious and well presented, (the portion sizes were huge!), and the staff attending to us were a delight - both friendly and attentive.

We can confidently highly recommend this place to others - try it, you will love it, I know that we all did!

Great meal and incredible service thanks for having us.

We had our 6 year anniversary dinner at the Black dog last night and they made it beautiful. The service was fabulous, the staff here are absolutely lovely, thank you. The food was also brilliant, they have a great chef on staff. Steak was on point, salmon was beautiful. Starters and desserts were delicious. Thank you to all who made it a great night. Definitely would recommend Black Dog.

Food was delicious, the soufflé omelette was huge! We were too full for dessert but they let us do takeaway dessert. Children’s chicken tenders were home made, delicious. A great dining experience!

Wonderful meal and service. We had our first date here many years ago and it is as good now as it was then. Definitely a favourite for dinner!

Was a real Pleasure to experience TOP CLASS food and Service.... Will be back ..With Friends..

Great food, service was spot on. We enjoyed a tasty meal. thanks heaps.

Great food and friendly service, we have already recommended this place to other people and we will be dining her again for sure! :)

Great food, great service. Venue seating is spacious, so you are not tripping over tables and overhearing other conversations.

One minor small negative - music was a little loud for us older folks, meaning conversation was a little difficult. Music taste was good though

Really lovely service - super friendly staff. Food was great which is why it was our 2nd visit :)

We were met by friendly staff from the moment we entered, garlic bread was really amazing, and we enjoyed both chicken filo and schnitzel

Great food absolutely huge portions though

We had a lovely evening dining here for my husband's birthday. The setting is very cosy and there are several areas to suit your needs, whether it's just to grab a coffee and cake while you catch up with friends, a family dinner, snacks with friends, a drink at the bar, or a business meal for a group (all of these happened in the time that we were there!)

We ordered a cider, which was nice and smooth. We also decided to go for starters instead of mains. We had Crumbed Camembert, and Stuffed Mushrooms. Both were very delicious! There were 6 pieces of Camembert (which came with apricot sauce), and 3 big Stuffed Mushrooms (which came with sweet chilli sauce), both served on a bed of salad. We also ordered the Black Dog Platter For Two. It was all presented nicely, it included 2 big pieces of deep fried squid, 3 flavoursome chicken skewers, hummus, pita bread, battered prawns, thinly sliced bread sticks, and some chutney.

For dessert we had the Banoffie Pie (which came with whipped cream) and the Apple Crumble (you can choose between whipped cream or ice cream). You could also choose from their selection of cheesecakes. Both were lovely.

All in all, we had a lovely time here and we will definitely be back!

Always enjoyed a meal here. Must be under New Management. New pub like menu. Meal filling. cheers

Cool place, fab food selection and good portion sizes.
Thank you for your great hospitality!

Very helpful staff and yummy food :)

The food was awesome. The wine was delicious and everyone was very friendly! Had a great night out

Fabulous service and delicious food. Blast from the past; the Prawn cocktail, deep fried camembert and apricot sauce for entree, then a humungous chicken filo parcel of chicken, pistachio and camembert wrapped in prosciutto then filo and blue cod with the lightest tempura batter ever! Super reasonable price for large meals even without the discount. Will definitely be back again. A+
