Commercial Hotel

Fantastic country pub. We came here for fathers day lunch and it didn't disappoint! The staff are friendly and helpful. The meals were hot, fresh, and great value for money. We will definitely be back! The fish and chips, chicken parmigiana, and the spaghetti were all amazing!

Food was great. Large serves. Steaks cooked to perfection. Lots of vegies with roast, fish was hot with crispy batter.
Service was great.

the food was so good we had the steak cooked to perfection also the fish and was excellent. The only negative is get there early so you don't wait too long to get your order in. thanks for lovely meals chef will be back

Excellent food from this pub in Ballan and we were made to feel welcome by the bar staff. Would definitely eat here again if I’m up that way

Lovely people. Food quite good & lower price to than usual for pub food. Pub decor a little outdated but the pub itself is over hundred years old so you know...

Delishous and great steak (porterhouse) and chips for lunch. Steak was overcooked but still good. Very classic roadside country Australian pub.

Got the steak because my parents raved about it, and they were right. Green peppercorn sauce is great. Nice lunch, thanks!!!! :)

The food was excellent
The service was very good
Lovely big dining room air conditioned just right as it was a very warm day today.
I would recommend.

Had probably one of if not the best Parma of my life here. Check out the photos. Generous serving, good pricing and service. I’ll be back one day

Brilliant meal great atmosphere, miss all the clocks. I was a little disappointed that my favourite meal is no longer on the menu.
I had crumbed dory, it would've been better without the crumbs as they drew the moisture from the fish. However it was nice. The family had chicken parmigianas, burger and the roast lamb. 😋 all delicious.
Thank you.
Next time we are over from Bruthen we shall return.
Highly recommended 👌

Always great value, Wednesday night steak deal is highly recommended 👌

The Parma was exactly what I wanted and needed from an Aussie pub and the drinks on tap were a good selection too.

I recently visited the commercial pub in a charming country town, and it was an excellent experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a classic country pub vibe.

The live music was a real highlight, adding to the lively and welcoming atmosphere. The musicians were talented, and the pub's patrons seemed to enjoy the music just as much as I did. It was a great way to spend an evening, relaxing with a drink and enjoying some fantastic entertainment.

But it wasn't just the music that impressed me - the food was outstanding too. I tried the Parma, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was cooked to perfection and smothered in a rich tomato sauce and melted cheese. It came with a generous serving of chips and a side salad, which made for a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout my visit. They made me feel welcome and comfortable, and I appreciated the genuine hospitality.

Overall, I highly recommend the commercial pub to anyone looking for a fun and friendly atmosphere, excellent live music, and fantastic food. It's a great spot to relax and unwind after a long day, and I can't wait to visit again.

Group booking of 10. Meals were all delicious and extremely well priced. Staff were super friendly especially Matty, who served us at the bar, took our orders and delivered the food. His recommendations were spot on. Such a nice experience with pleasant staff for a change. Hard to come by these days. Highly recommend

Great little country pub . The steaks are always cooked to perfection. 🤌 10/10

Fantastic friendly country pub. Had a few lovely cold beers and two sensational lunches.

I love small town pub food, and the food here is a perfect example of why. Generous servings and deliciously tasty, friendly staff and a great pub bistro atmosphere. My burger was juicy and fresh and the chips were nice and crunchy.

WOW. What a steak. 350gm rump cooked to perfection with 'dare I say it' eggs an chips. Eggs is not a normal thing as I noticed after. But I got a perfect steak 'rare' 2 runny eggs an chips with a awesome mushy sauce. Worth every cent. 2 mates got vege an steak an were also happy. 👍🏻 Staff are very friendly an polite an nothing was to much. Bit of banter with some locals over a cold beer. I will definitely be back very friendly place. Cheers fred. 👍🏻👍🏻 p.s the tab machine is also lucky. 👍🏻🤣🤣🤣

Excellent meals for our group of 4, and good value. Very friendly service also. Highly recommend.

Yum eggplant parma and sticky date pudding. Chips standard. Staff, service and atmosphere were outstanding. Friday night - fun band, people dancing, locals have friendly chats to us blow ins. Highly recommended.
