Good hearty food, service staff is very good, friendly and looked after us well. Unlike quite a few other restaurants, True South is good for big groups in that they don’t force you to go with a banquet or set menu. Our group of over 8 people were allowed to order ala carte and individuals within our big group are catered for individually. Big thumbs up for this!!!

Have to be my favourite pub . The specials are the best value for money . Steak all day and into the night on a Tuesday and roast for $24 on a Sunday . Excellent service from our waiter “Darius” so professional and knowledgeable . I like to dine here every couple of months as I live on the Mornington Peninsula and this would have to be the best pub meal ever . So Thankyou I will be back .
