The Friendly Inn Hotel

We took a break at this pub for lunch during our trip to Kangaroo valley during Easter. The ambience is pretty good, very relaxing after a long drive with lots of parking and plenty of covered and uncovered seating option. The food was good, typical pub type dishes and quantity was quite sufficient . In fact it is better to share plates unless you are extremely hungry. The choice of drinks is also very wide. I specially liked the fish n chips and cauliflower popcorns. Some Nepalese dishes are also available. We tried one curry and it was very tasty .It is one those places where you get charged up and shred off all tiredness after a long journey. The location is very interesting with lots of old and historic structures within walking distance.

Located at 159 Moss Vale Road, Kangaroo Valley, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 This is an iconic place to stop when in Kangaroo Valley. The menu is your typical pub selection of meals and I had the Curry Chicken and Rice. It was very tasty but I felt the prices were quite high for a pub meal. The size of the meals were pretty good though. The design of the hotel is fantastic, very laid back and relaxing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a pretty large size group of aged people, a couple with mobility issues and had no issues with accessibility except one. The toilets, you had to go up about 4-5 steps. No good for someone using a walker. There is plenty of spots in the establishment to eat your meal, inside and outside. There is parking 🅿️ next to the hotel but I would imagine it would fill up fast when busy. I love the Marilyn Monroe statue out front, along with the telephone box. A nice touch. Would definitely recommend a visit. Thumbs up!! 👍👍

This place I have been multiple times!! And it always lives up to my expectations. The food was great. My daughter was not so hungry so ordered the share meal of octopus and thought it would be tiny as was a little worried. Yet when it came it was so good!! She loved it. The music was so good as we came on Australia week, only thing was it was a little Loud and we couldn’t hear ourselves but that wasn’t to much of a problem! It was also quite hot that day and we felt there needed to be a little more shade on the table far out, but then again that was our fault for coming on a hot day and should’ve sat inside! I thought it was actually awesome only downside was noise! Easily avoided tho! So wonderful job with this place keep it up, we will come back!

Nice decent pub food, not much more to say. If you're after something a bit more 'normal' (less fancy or extravagant) when in kangaroo valley then stop in for a drink and a burger, it's perfect for it

Do not recommend for food. Loved the space and the outside area. The staff was nice. Unfortunately, the food was not good at all. When picking up my chicken parm from the kitchen area, there was a hair on the fries and when I mentioned it, the cook literally plucked it out with his hand (after trying and failing with the cooking tongs...). No apology, no replacing, nothing. The parmi looked good but was dry as, only the napolitana sauce made it acceptable. The T-bone was supposed to be medium-rare, half of it was well done. Not to mention everything is overpriced, paid $86 for those two plates and a cheesy garlic bread, which was the best thing out of everything we ate and the only I'd recommend, aside from the beers.
