The Post Office Hotel - Coburg

On a cool but sunny Saturday afternoon we had a great afternoon eating fish and beef burgers along with great local and craft beers. Excellent service.

Its a cold and wet day outside but the open fire was very welcoming. The food and staff are excellent. I had the hanger steak it well cooked and accompanied by potatoes and broccoli, yummo.

I hang out here quite often, so grateful that this place is my friendly local pub, conveniently located close to home. It has that easy community vibe to it and is also kid friendly ... so if you aren't into kids at pubs, then this ain't the place for you. There are a number of sections, such a good quality restaurant next door, the beer garden out the back, a function space ... and my fave ... the front bar, where you can purchase simple bar food such as wedges, pizzas and chips. The other great thing to note, is that they have cool bands play there, which seem to always be for free. Had a great night there dancing away to 'Nick Murphy's Hardware' on Friday night, seeing sooooo many people I knew who just happened to be there. The band were seriously top rate and so was the atmosphere.

The kitchen in this place looks fantastic, lots of professional looking staff buzzing around seemingly knowing what they are doing. After waiting over 1 hour for our meals boy were we disappointed! My parma was not just overcooked it was BURNT black on the bottom and the cheese on the top was so burnt it was like something rubber had melted on it - shameful that it ever left the kitchen. The french fries were stone cold and the green salad was a couple of leaves with no dressing on them. The other meal ordered was beer battered fish and whilst the fish was ok the chips and salad were woeful - although i must say not even a slice of lemon or any tartare sauce were with it. Yes it was busy but it always is on a Sunday arvo and seemingly no pride was in place or these meals would not have been served. Send them back you say - and wait another hour for anything to be done, no thanks.

The food was quite acceptable but the service was absolutely appalling. We were still waiting for our meals 1 hour after ordering and our table had not been cleared nearly 1 hour after we had finished eating. Just not good enough.
