Our Bistro offers the very best in Maitland Pub Food. Our menu is designed to "serve the masses", but our cooking team, led by Chef Wayne Stanley, gives everything they make that finishing touch that stands our food apart from the rest.

Wayne chooses local, fresh produce where available, and is a stickler for fresh, daily preparation, not mass production.

What's the Craic?
Craic is the Gaelic word for that unmistakable combination of chat, laughter, music and special atmosphere that is unique to Irish socialising.
