Punka Pub Accommodation

Tasty food. Fish and chips. Ginger prawn dumplings. Very helpful and understanding waitress who made sure my dietary requirements were adequately met. A very pleasant outlook and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thank you

This pub is one of our go to’s in the cooler months, while we’re not Bright/Porepunkah locals we’re local enough for it not to be a half day trek to get there-NOT that it should matter either way. We’ve booked. That’s a guaranteed way to get a table. Right? Correct. Then we get there, we’re told “we’re pretty busy tonight so you’ve got…” and we’re told a time frame….now, we were a small family. Likelihood, but of garlic bread, mains and dessert/coffee. You might’ve had a party of 40 coming in at 7-7:30 however that doesn’t give you a right to treat your other patrons who have BOOKED (ie- you KNOW we’re coming) like second class citizens that need to be told to eat and p*ss off! Consider the likelihood that at 7-7:30 that we’re going to order another round of meals and really screw your big ticket booking up. You think that’s going to happen?! No, we would’ve been finishing up the food and would’ve been content to enjoy a couple of more drinks served by the lovely barman who COULD handle his workload. Instead we left. No dessert, no intention in going back possibly like the other table next to us who walked out saying “oh look! We’re leaving before we’re even supposed to be here”-their table was booked and they were obviously told to eat and p*ss off too. Point- if we’ve made the point of booking, we’re planning a night out. Don’t treat us like you’re doing us a favour by “squeezing” us in. We’ve booked. Your customers aren’t an inconvenience- they pay for the food and service. Don’t tell us you’re busy and you need us “out”. Learn to manage your bookings and staffing. Don’t let the young guy who was seating people and informing them of his inability to manage a workload to do that anymore. He’s not a good choice for front of house. And if you can’t handle the volume of bookings? Take the booking site offline so you can manually book by looking at seating plans and single book tables and seat walk ins opportunistically after if you can.

The pub , atmosphere, the food , the staff score a 10. Well done guys.We had beautiful weather so it was nice sitting outside soaking it all in , music playing from the speakers, everybody relaxed, it was a great afternoon.

Modern county pub. Vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff. Really enjoyed the quirky aspects including fish tank in the toilets. Bright and airy, with a decent pub meal. Definitely a great place to have a meal and share a bottle of wine if you are in the area

Sunday dinner yum. They make an excellent Chicken Parma. The local Punka Pub Shiraz is an excellent drop too. The atmosphere is light and breezy. We had a 6:30pm booking but should have come earlier to hear the live solo guitar musician - he was very good and not to loud that you couldn’t still talk. We only caught his last set before he packed up.
