Herdsman Lake Tavern

Quality pub grub, nice and local and family friendly atmosphere. I would recommend the Surf and Turf. Plenty of capacity on a weeknight usually.

Always a good meal with the kid’s laid back nice food

We arrived and were seated next to a large and very noisy table. The waitress asked if we would like to move to a quieter table, and we obliged. It was very good of the waitress to ask us and it made a large difference to our experience. Food was good and reasonably prompt and the cakes and coffee were superb. All round excellent value for a Friday luncheon for 4 people.

There was a lot of young kids there during our visit. They seemed to be part of a larger party & were allowed to run around the restaurant unrestrained whilst we were there. Apart from the noise they were constantly circling our table & generally dashing around. We were there for evening dinner

Service was great, but the acoustics aren’t great

Ordered food At 6pm, kids food came out at a reasonable time but adults Food came out In two stages! After a really long wait my chicken parma arrive (At 7pm) once everybody else had finished eating! Very disappointing!

Another four great meals at the Herdy. Its nice to eat at a restaurant with a full menu and great selection of specials as along with the best seniors selections around. Table and bar service was great. We will keep on returning to this excellent venue.

Food was cooked so well.

The restaurant offered excellent food a pleasant atmosphere and the staff are friendly and welcoming. We were party of 9 seated at table 20 with a bench it was very comfortable.

Everything was great, the only disappointment was that the menu online was great but the menu at the restaurant was very limited. The menu needs to be updated online.

Food portions were very generous. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Cosy atmosphere not too noisy. Will go back again. Plenty of parking as well.

We usually love coming to the Herdsman once a year with the family. However, last night was very disappointing and we were celebrating my partners 70th birthday. Our drinks sat on the bar for 10 minutes before they were served and the meals were very average especially the Seniors rump steak meal. The steak was quite small and very chewy and tough. My daughter had organised a big banana split boat for the table for everyone with candles and what came onto the table was a small banana split with no candles that we had provided. The kids had a great time in the play area. But overall we will be thinking long and hard about our venue for next years family outing dinner.

Very casual and family friendly. Great food and service. Staff COVID conscious and evidence of tables being cleaned thoroughly as other patrons finished was comforting.

We had a family gathering of 25. Wonderful space for us all. Great food, timely and considerate service. Great playground for the kids. We will be back.. Thanks

Staff were super friendly and food was outstanding. Loved the atmosphere which exceeded our expectations. Photos from the website don't give this place justice. Thanks again and keep up the awesome work y'all do.

Lovely food but service was very slow, could have had more staff on . Lots of pressure on the staff working . Too many kids in the play area no social distancing in there ????... overall enjoyed our lunch good size meals friendly staff will definitely go back again.

Old fashion pub grub. Good value for money. Could use couple extra staff. Overall 8/10. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Have been to the Herdy over many many years. One can always be assured of a pretty good meal. Menu choice was terrific and sizing excellent. Always feel relaxed at the Herdy. Being Winter the heating was very adequate. I even found the coffee was really nice and hot, something I insist on.

We are so glad you are back in operation.. we've missed coming for our Seniors' deal, and we'll be back soon, hopefully with a few of our friends as well.

Favourite restaurant to visit for catch ups with families as caters really well for children (prioritises children's meals first, indoor play area) and we'll spaced between tables so not crowded in with other patrons. The children can safely play and the adults can have a hot meal! The staff are always friendly and helpful. The food is consistently tasty.
