Toogoolawah Hotel

Enjoyed my stay, would have been better if the huge TV had worked and I hadn’t been locked out at 10pm on a Saturday night after an enjoyable night at the Cinema (50 yards away)!!

12.00 Thursday lunch. Couldn't order a burger at the beginning of service as they had run out - settled for steak sandwich. Then I ordered a couple of drinks, and I felt it a bit rude that the bar person initiated a conversation with, I presumed , a local while still serving me. The steak sandwich was not good. White warm sandwich loaf, no colour, so, not what I would describe as toasted. A handful of baby spinning, nicely cut cucumber, an enormous amount of raw onion, a very thick slice of capsicum and some grated cheese. B b que sauce that barely stained the stale bread / uncooked toast. The meat was dry and tastless. The salad without either dressing or sauce, not very nice. If there had been cooked onion, grilled cheese or at least sauce on the meat it would maybe have helped. I imagine that the cook has never had a cooking lesson or watched a cooking program or they were lazy and had no pride in what they dished up. Maybe they just gated their job in general or their employer. The chips were nice. A couple came in after us, left the majority of their meal and left before I had finished my soft drink. I'm told the cook is new. Don't waste your time until someone who can cook and cares about the food takes over. Total disappointment.

I stayed 2 nights - rooms were clean, tidy & matress was comfy (for me), meals were very well priced & generous. Wonderful dining room and an eclectic collection of artworks throughout. Staff were cheerful & accommodating. A grand old country pub!

Group of 7 of us had great lunch at pub. Tasty generous meals, including two of us with gluten allergy. Friendly,prompt service, made it a happy experience, in a comfortable setting. Will be sure to go again
