Magpie & Stump Hotel - MINTARO

I called to book a table for dinner to be told the pub closes at 730pm on a Saturday night. I made a booking for 7pm. We arrived and were greeted by a man who appeared to be serving, cooking, running the bar and filling takeaway orders.We waited 20-25 minutes and didnt even see the man of all trades again, we didnt get to order dinner, not even order a drink. Given there was only 5-10 minutes until close and another table of 6 people also waiting we left with 2 hungry grumpy children in search of food. It was really disappointing.

Easter Sunday was a busy day in Mintaro, pronounced Min-tair-oh by the locals. As we wandered through the grounds of the Magpie Stump Hotel they were serving lunch and it looked good so we decided to order 2 burgers. The service was very slow and about 45 minutes later we received our burgers which were very tasty.

We have stayed in Montaro a few tings and the Pub meal is always been great. Friendly staff and pretty good service.
