What people say
My favourite pub in Rydalmere. Food are really delicious and nice presentation. Staff are friendly and great service.
The service was better than most places but the steak was one of the worst steaks I have ever had. It tasted like spoiled liver and as you can see in the picture, thats meant to be medium rare.
Absolutely top-notch pub! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with that perfect balance of laid-back and lively. The staff are legends — friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to have a chat. The food is unreal: generous portions, great quality, and proper pub classics done right. Drinks selection is spot on too, with cold beers on tap and a solid range to suit everyone. Whether you’re popping in for a casual feed, watching the footy, or catching up with mates, this place delivers every time. Easily one of the best pubs around — can’t fault it. Will definitely be back!
My Husband and I had been talking about coming here for a Parmi or (Parma) depending on where you’re from 😊. So today we came for lunch. Pleasant clean ambiance. Very nice friendly staff behind the bar who took us to a table. We ordered using the QR code on the table which was easy. Very nice icy lemon lime and bitters. Did not take long for the Parmis to arrive. I could see they were going to be just amazing!! And amazing they were, most generous Parmi chips and salad I’ve ever seen. Filled the whole plate, just as well I had been saving my tummy for this. The chips were perfect, beautiful tasty salad, and the best Parmi ever!!. Keep doing what you’re doing guys 😊😊
It’s always nice to relax, dine, and have some drinks here at The Family Inn Pub. Their beautiful and very accommodating Venue Manager, Michelle. Really makes the place extra welcoming, along with her friendly staff. I’ll definitely keep coming back here to dine, drink, and unwind.
