As comfortable as an old friend, as exciting as a stranger and as colourful as the lover you are about to meet. At the new Statesman Hotel we have taken 54 years of history and revamped it with some scandal and a playful nod to the 70s.

Delicious food served with a soupçon of scandal in our fabulous new restaurant, featuring a big open kitchen so you can watch our award-winning chef and her team create mouth-watering dishes from the brand-new menu. Savour our hand-picked wine list or BYO from the Statesman's very own bottle shop.

    Food made cheaply, highly overpriced. Eg. Fish and chips. 2 thin pieces fish battered, handful green salad no tomato no onion no cucumber, and chips $29. Old menu was better. Staff super friendly, always helpful, always recognised us when we came. We dined there at least 3 or 4 times a week, great location. Menu now overpriced for what you get sadly. I think now it'll be just coffee.

    Very disappointing this time. Menu has changed, not pub food. This is not a high end restaurant. The snitzels came with chips and lettuce leaf which was meant to be salad, snapper uncooked or frozen, served with a bok choy leaf, the pie was sitting in burnt gravy, the fish and chips as meant to come with salad but again a leaf of something. The fish was ling which should have been nice but half cooked and batter was overly thick. Kids meals were great. Service was very pleasant and helpful. A disappointment for expensive food.

    We were celebrating the life of my father. Our Wake was a small and intimate group and we were treated wonderfully. Meals were lovely and the service especially good.

    Can't complain about this place. The barramundi was delicious, and a generous serving. Me and my partner stayed a few days. Place is well worth the stay. Clean and tidy and will be back again next month

    We often eat at the statesman and the quality has always been good however on this particular Sunday the meals were not to their usual standard. The in house meat pie was overcooked, almost burnt and dry in the centre. The Waygu beef burger was also dry. A bit disappointing this time around

    My group of 16 ladies thoroughly enjoyed the lunch. They were most impressed with the food , especially the grilled Barramundi & want to come back for next month’s lunch again. Compliments to the chef & friendly staff. 👌
