Captain Cook Hotel

Food way too expensive and $10 beers! Just under $100 for Two. The local meeting place is now charging restaurant prices, and the demographics of botany would show people can’t afford it. Used to be a great dine out at affordable prices. Bring back Mr Ling to the kitchen..

Great place. Genuinely.However, without fail whenever you order a buffalo chicken schnitzel all but one of the bar tenders will have heard buffalo chicken wings.

Food is expensive for what you get, and the $15 special" is misleading given it doesn't include a drink you need to buy as part of it. Works out to be more like $20.Pretty much the same old cook except everything is more expensive.You get a better pubexperience nearby for the same money."

Recently stayed here for 2 nights. Staff were friendly and attentive. Accommodation was comfortable and more than enough for my needs. Surrounding shops had anything that I needed.

I had dinner there, order a steak with mash and vegetables, the steak look like it was cooked on a old, not clean pan? Mash potato was fake, from Coles, add water powder packet, was not even the real deal, but a budget cheap mash, but they expect full price? Go elsewhere....Yes you do make fake mash, it tasted the same as add water from Coles, how do I know? 3 military personnel that was there with me, knew straight away it was fake mash. cause that's what we get in the military, your caught out, now your probably embarrassed, and Lie to discredit me. so let me guess, your now your going to make real mash? after being called out.. oh maybe your going to serve it to white people but the brown skin won't know, so they get the fake mash.. is why we didn't even finish the mash on our plates..

Stopped here for a midweek late lunch with my toddler daughter after a morning of long walks and chasing my daughter around Sir Joseph Banks park. We were both famished. Sat in the beer garden where we were both very comfortable. Staff lovely. Burger and ale went down a treat (for me). As new residents, we’ll be back with the rest of the family for sure.

Beers are cold, burgers are awesome.. staff are friendly. Only reservation was mens room there air dryer was not working and there was no toilet roll holder so the roll was lying on the floor.

Fantastic pub, a proper local. Food is decent especially Sunday Roast. Good atmosphere, only gripe would be maybe a jukebox and turn the screens off once in a while, but that's Australia TV screens in every pub :). Overall really cool place.

Unfortunately won’t be returning and would not recommend. Service was reasonable, but the food was terrible. My partner ordered steak (medium). I ordered a vegan mushroom burger. I was after a veg burger but that was the option. Meat was so overdone - like it’d been cooked, left aside and returned to the grill. Burger looked very sad indeed. The bun was so stale that it couldn’t be cut in half, and the filling was minimal and not fresh looking, covered with a lot of sauce. Fries were ok, hard to go wrong. Did not live up to the beautiful website that says “food focused” at the “highest possible standard”. Disappointing to say the least.
