How we read reviews →A heritage Dandenong Ranges dining room in a rocky post-2024 ownership transition, blending English classics with new Indian dishes.
A heritage-listed former house with elaborate British-themed decor, an open fireplace and extensive gardens. genuinely striking on a good day, though several recent reviewers describe the interior as tired and in need of a refresh.
Heritage-listed building with extensive gardens, an open fireplace, and a pub-style deck pouring its own branded King Henry lager.
Historically an authentic traditional English dining room (British-style staff attire, Yorkshire pudding, Welsh Rarebit); reviewers say the new Indian-leaning menu additions sit uneasily against that heritage branding, and several call the current identity confused.
Widely criticised as overpriced for what's delivered, with multiple reviewers citing $80-100 per head for meals with portion and quality issues, though a handful of dishes like the beef cheeks are called worth it.
