Where to go for a sit-down pub meal and ice-cold beer across Newie and the Hunter

We know our communities have been missing their pub meals, accompanied by a nice cold beer, for the past few months and we have good news! From tomorrow - Friday, 15 May some of our venues will be ready to welcome you back for dinner and drinks - via table-service.

Please remember, as we are just embarking on Phase One of the government's re-opening conditions it is so important that we all do the right and thing.

This includes keeping in mind that:

👉Bookings are encouraged

👉Social distancing rules of 1.5 metres will apply

👉Allocated/timed seatings are likely to apply

👉Bars and gaming will not be open - drinks will be via table-service and only available with your meal

👉All health and safety measures, as directed by your local pub, must be adhered to
