my carpets were black, now they are white again... so they do a great job. the young bloke that came here was very professional and helpful and i can only assume that they are all that nice.

for a little local pub .. you can't go wrong, it's one of those places you feel welcome the moment you step through the door. the owner is really friendly and he'll sit with you for hours just chatting. as for the staff, those girls mix a mean cocktail, and make your night a really fun experience. . i found the food to be plentiful and great value and the quality was superb... Well done "chelly"...may the good times never end

$11 seems a bit costly for a burger until you sink your teeth in. and those chips... yummy. well worth it. however the service can be a little slow.

Approximate cost: $12

good fun place to go on a Friday night, can get a bit rough sometimes but its generally well handled. service in the restaurant is great however staff behind the bar can leave a little to be desired on a busy night... I've seen this place much better than it is at the moment but if your looking for somewhere to go in cessnock, it's still my number 1 choice!!!

UNBELIEVABLY one of the best places i have ever eaten at!!! the oysters kilpatrick are the very best around... and considering the fact I'm VERY picky with my oysters, that's saying something. whenever i have to find a place to eat out this is always at the top of my list. they specialize in schnitzels.... hence the name... but you can't knock a seafood platter for to that's both affordable and delicious, i guarantee you wont be disappointed... try them they rock!!!!

Approximate cost: $25-50

wonder full Indian cuisine, perfect for a night in with the girls or a family feed when you don't feel like cooking. the staff have always been friendly and help full explaining the most unusual meals to you... and for someone not used to Indian food they can get a bit that way... their central and easy to find location in the heart of Newcastle make it an easy meal choice for lunch or dinner... hmmm i think i might go down and have some now

Approximate cost: $8

it was a nice relaxed place to eat, the food was lovely, especially the slow cooked steak. I don't eat steak as a rule but the hickory barbecue steak just melts in your mouth. its a great place for a family meal or a get together with friends. I will definitely be eating there again!!! well done hogs breath
