Amazing service. Friendly bar staff greeted me with a big smile and a hello how are you! Especially glad they bring the food to your table so you don’t have to go collect it like at so many other pubs. The lovely serving lady was so friendly and helpful and kind today! Even a nice man came and asked how our meal was. Seriously nice friendly staff. Few kids there too so it’s a nice family atmosphere earlier on. Not many vegan or vegetarian or gluten friendly meals for the adults but the quinoa bowl was fresh and delicious! And amazing service makes up for it. Kids loved their chips. Toilets super clean! Thanks to the staff for being so dam nice to us!!!!!

Booking online was easy. Table was reserved. Staff were friendly and efficient. Menu had many options. Had fish and chips. It was delicious. Chips were awesome. Tartare sauce was the best. Great!!! It was s Friday night so was a bit noisy but not too much.

Oily chicken schnitzel. Salad and gravy were okay but both chicken and chips were dripping and tasting strong oily taste. Service was very good and decent atmosphere.

We held our daughter’s First Holy Communion lunch at the Summer Hill Hotel last Sunday, and the day was absolutely perfect. The staff were attentive, helpful, and made everything run smoothly. We had approx 35 guests, ordered a selection of food platters along with items from the à la carte menu, and the food was exceptional. Our guests complimented both the quality of the dishes and the venue overall. In the lead-up to the day, I had several discussions with Maricar, the Hotel Manager, to finalise arrangements. She was always wonderful to deal with—professional, accommodating, and genuinely helpful. Our celebration couldn’t have been better, and we are so grateful to the entire Summer Hill Hotel team for making it such a special day. Alana
