麥克萊恩飯店

We love this place! For the only pub in the area, thank god is a good one. We find it affordable, and good serving sizes. Food is always delicious. Garlic cheesy bread is my fave. Staff is always friendly both at bar and bistro. Our only little issue is we have noticed when we go on busier evenings (holidays, etc.) We noticed the serving sizes and quality suffer. We for example, had dinner there during the week, had Sweet potato fries, big bowl, crispy, fresh, so yum with sauce, cheesy bacon garlic bread, etc. Was top tier. Went on the weekend with other family, ordered the same foods.. Sweet potato fries were soggy, full of oil, and quite honestly half the portion, as in about the size of a side on a plate, not a share entree, forgot our sauce, and the girl we reminded about it seemed as though it was a major inconvenience to get what was forgotten... Cheesy bacon bread, comes in 4 pieces, our 4 pieces seemed to be cut in half from the size of 2 of the 4 pieces we had during the week. We ordered 3x slices of cheesecake. We waited 30 minutes. I asked at the bistro counter, only for the gentleman to grunt then disappear, lucky i assumed he was grabbing our desserts, as he didn't bother to say anything to me about the wait nor the fact he would get it for us... The slices were tiny! Especially for the price. Yummy, yes, but small portion. Similar happens often unfortunately, we now only go during the quiet days and avoid busier periods due to such a difference in service and quality. Its unfortunate, but i can't fault the bistro any other time.

Top pub lunch. Post mix drink very cold and refreshing. We shared two starters for lunch, so generous we couldn't finish them. Creamy garlic prawns with salad and rice, and BLAT with chicken. Salads are very fresh. Enjoyed the outlook across the river.

We have returned again. Finally with a large group of friends. The service and food couldn’t have been better. Great place. We love the back deck overlooking the Clarence river. Greg and julie in the bar were fantastic, very accommodating. All Of the meals were sensational. Steaks were sublime, I had the 300g scotch fillet with garlic prawn topper. Couldn’t fault the dish at all. 3 other raved all night about the barramundi. Some of the best they have had in aus. Our friends from NZ really liked the garlic prawns and the pasta of the day. Great work maclean hotel

The service from the bar and catering staff was appalling, they were surly and unhelpful - we felt like we were intruding on their time. The meal was disgusting - the steaks were dry and tough; the fries were stale and cold, and the salad had little effort in eye-appeal in addition to having dried tomato, cucumber and wilted lettuce. Very disappointing for the price and (lack of) quality.

Stayed nearby over new years 2022-3. We ate here most nights and tried many of the choices on the menu. All were good. The staff worked hard and were lovely and helpful. The chef was great. Worth a visit if you are around. Main meals are large but you can get smaller pizzas if needed and kids meals were great

I dined here recently after looking for somewhere to have lunch. My table ordered Barramundi, Mash and Veg & Chicken Schnitzel Mash & Veg. The pub itself is nothing much to look at inside and somewhat a little tired but they have a good selection of meals and at reasonable prices. We were there right at peak lunch time and the meals came out promptly even though they were quite busy. The staff were efficient and neither rude nor friendly. The meals were of a good size for lunch and there is plenty of both indoor and outdoor dining. The outdoor dining overlooks the river which is very nice but it's a shame that the view is somewhat blocked by the rear of the hardware store next door, but there is a partial view which still made it pleasant. Overall this was a very nice meal and a relaxing stop off for lunch and I will visit again.
