We recently held our parents 70 th wedding anniversary at lunchtime here.Delicious, Great meals , big size and $10 lunch specials. Steak, pizza, pasta, barramundi, fishermanâs basket, lots more. Lovely atmosphere. We sat inside a newly refurbished dining area. Wood and metal decor , very interesting. There is a beer garden and this is being extended. Great place for a function ( Melbourne Cup this year) Alcohol reasonably priced.

Reviewed By Wanderering1
The staff here are worth the visit on their own. They are, without exception, personable, genuine and friendly. The warm smiles and welcoming demeanour make a meal here all the more enjoyable. As for the food, well it is also delightful. Quality ingredients, thoughtfully combined and cooked with skill. Meals are delivered to the table promptly and the servings are generously proportioned. Give the slow cooked brisket a try: flavoursome and tender. Thankyou so much wanderering1 for your kind review. We think our staff are pretty special and so glad you think so too. Delighted to hear you enjoyed our slow cooked brisket. We will be trialling a few more winter delights in the coming weeks so hope to see you back here soon. Thanks again

On Friday 19th October my husband and I went to Swansea Hotel with relatives for dinner. Our relatives told us they have very good meals at Swansea Hotel.We were sadly disappointed. Our relatives had pork belly and lamb cutlets and said their meals were great.My husband and I had lamb shanks.Unbelievably aweful. The meat wasn't falling off the bone. It was tough and had no flavour. The sauce hadn't penetrated the meat. My husband had to wait longer for his meal because they stuffed his order up. While my husband was waiting for his meal he called the waitress over and told her my lamb shank wasn't cooked properly and was tough. She just looked at us and said nothing. My husband asked her if she could tell the chef. She said she would. We never heard another word about it. We don't even know if the chef was told. My husband's lamb shank arrived and it was no better. We really should have sent them back and got something else. $24 each for a tough flavourless lamb shank is a rip off.No acknowledgement or offer to rectify the issue was appalling.We were only visiting and aren't keen to ever come back.

The smorgasbord at this club is the best that we have ever had. So reasonably priced and the quality equals the best home cooking. Lashings of fresh king prawns, mussels, fish, every imaginable Asian entree and main, Italian dishes, lamb shanks and you name it - they've got it baked dinner meats, veggies, pork crackling..... then there's the soups ( a good variety of three or four), different breads, salads, fresh fruits and mousse (3 kinds), ice cream (4 flavours), pavlova, profiteroles, cakes........ The quality is sensational. The cleanliness fantastic. If you live in Sydney.... it's worth the drive!!!! We drove from Yamba to eat here. Closed on Mondays. The club doesn't have great street appeal but don't let that put you off... do yourself a favour and go there!!! We love it.

Cozzies is a little café in Swansea's main street. We stopped there for lunch on a Sunday. It was 1.30 and they close at 2 so we were warned not to order anything too fancy as the kitchen was closing. Apart from that the staff were charming and the food good. I had a BLT and I must admit it was probably the best I have had. I also had a chocolate milkshake which was equally as good. The prices were reasonable and whole experience was good. A nice little spot.

This venue has recently changed owners, but the quality of the pizzas and the price and rapid turnover remains the same. It doesn't open on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is their prerogative after a very busy 5 days, but I would love it if they could open more days a week.

We visit here quite often. Lovely meals, generously proportioned and a wide range to suit all tastes. There can be quite a wait when it is busy. good range of drinks available. You can sit inside downstairs or chose to sit upstairs on the new verandah and take in the views. There is a fantastic kids play space, which would benefit from having easier access from inside, but I'm sure the intention is for parents to actively supervise their kids whilst they play.Thank you for your kind review. We are very proud of our newly renovated club and hope you come back and enjoy it again soon.RegardsManagement
