I've always wanted to turn off SH1 to visit The Old Leithfield Hotel whenever I drive past and today I finally did. Well worth the effort. It's everything you want in an heritage pub - good food and drink, good people and loads of history. The beer garden is HUGE and lots of lovely trees/ferns, which would be a great place to spend a sunny arvo. There's an all day breakfast menu as well as lunch/dinner menu and plenty of dining room in the bar itself but also in the actual dining rooms! Loads of interesting photographs on the walls of the building and community. Love this place!

I do love it when a country pub gets it right. Exploring the area round our new home, we came across the Old Leithfield Hotel on a beautiful Sunday lunchtime. The food was well cooked, well presented and reasonably priced. Great staff and a garden area which made the most of the day. Would highly recommend.

Called in for Lunch on our way home from The Greta Valley. Sat in the garden area which was lovely and was advised food would be around a 30 minute wait which was fine. After 50 minutes and food coming out for other families who had arrived after us I asked the waitress and she said she would go and check. Another 30 minutes passed and more meals coming out I went to the bar with my daughter and was told they didn't want to ask in the kitchen what had happened to our order as they were so stressed and didn't want to get shouted at! They offered us some drinks which was a nice gesture and said if our food hadn't come out in 10 minutes we could have a refund. Another 20 minutes and it still hadn't arrived so I went back inside with my table number and one of the waitresses/cooks came up to me. I explained we had been waiting nearly 2 hours and she replied that they had a function later and one of the fryers had broken... which I couldnt understand as everyone elses fish and chips etc were coming out? I asked for a refund which she handed me without any eye contact or apology. We all left quite upset, hungry and frustrated with how we had been treated. I honestly think that our meal would never had come even if we waited another hour!

Just fantastic! We ordered the pizza, chicken schnitzel, and the chicken burger. They were all delicious! Dessert was great too, cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Staff were wonderful and the live band was exceptional (The Flat City Brothers).

Great ambiance, good drinks and service, people are friendly, but not a huge fan of the food, chicken tender tastes over fried, dry and tough, the soup of the day is actually the best dish of the meal, the bread roll with it itβs also pretty nice, but thatβs about every good to say about this meal, pizza isnβt horrible, but tastes very much like frozen or supermarket ones, and the fish and chips are also over cooked, especially the fish, and the batter isnβt even properly coating the fish, making the fish partially exposed to the oil, just like the chicken, it spends too much time in the fryer, dry, charred, and very very greasy, I believe this is my first time giving up finishing a fishβs batter just because itβs so greasy. The prices are actually not too bad thou.

We went to The Old Leithfield Hotel for dinner on a busy Saturday night (super rugby final) with our 5 month old baby. Even though we didn't have a booking the friendly wait staff went out of their way to accommodate us and made sure we were comfortable. We both had the roast which was generous and delicious. The beef was tender and the veges perfect it was the best pub experience with a young baby, and the best roast beef. We also had the salt and pepper squid entree which was fantastic. Perfectly tender and crispy! Thank you very much to the team at The Old Leithfield Hotel.
