Celebrated my birthday at Cauliflower Rooftop with around 50 people and it was awesome. Great pub vibe, friendly staff(thanks heaps for the hard work), tasty food and good drinks, with very reasonable prices. Everything ran smoothly and the whole group had a great time. Special thanks to the manager, Dee, who was super helpful and attentive , she made everything so easy for us. Would definitely recommend the pub to everyone who is looking forward to having a great time experience.

I had my 21st birthday party at their rooftop bar and had around 80 guests. Everyone fit perfectly and we all had the most incredible time. Everything was PERFECT! The chef is incredible because the food was absolutely insane. There were many vegetarian options and meat too! I honestly can’t describe it in words. All my family and friends had no complaints at all and are considering having their birthdays here too now. The bar staff were quick and super friendly and made the experience amazing. There was a space for a DJ which honestly made the night even better because I spent most of it on the dance floor or behind the decks with the DJ. Finally, the events manager, Dee, was the most helpful person I have ever dealt with when organising an event. Everything looked exactly how I imagined and she made sure it was perfect when I arrived. It was honestly the best night of my life and I highly recommend to anyone wanting to have an event with family and friends.

The Cauliflower Hotel is a bit of a ‘nothing’/standard Pub, which isn’t bad but understands what it is. Thus as a bit of a result the atmosphere/setup is a bit run down. but the beers ($7 Schooners all-day for local special) and food are very affordable and within the standard for pub quality. I got the Thai Chicken Curry which was under $20 and was a good portion Just took a while for food to come out for my group even on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Would recommend if you’re going for the accompany

We popped into The Cauliflower Hotel a few times for both lunch and dinner while setting up our laundromat, The Laundry Foundry, just around the corner (about 20 metres away). After long days on-site, it was exactly what we needed. The staff were friendly and welcoming each time, and the food really hit the spot! Honest pub meals done well. It was the perfect place to unwind, grab a solid feed, and recharge before getting back into it the next day. We’ll definitely be back regularly. Great local with a good vibe and reliable food.
