Southern Railway Hotel Goulburn

Incredible pub bistro, gorgeous fire place sensational food and incredible service. We booked and ran late from Sydney, called and the girl serving could not have been nicer. She explained when the kitchen closed and when we arrived couldn’t do more to accomodate us. Every dish was excellent, highest quality bistro food up with any gastro pub in Sydney. We will definitely be back!

We were looking for somewhere to eat. This is opposite the railway station. It was a random choice. We are in Goulburn for steam punk weekend. The food was great. I had Crispy skin Duck on a celeriac mash with bacon sprouts. Mary had black salmon. We were entertained by a local clubs meat trays raffle. The hotel is slightly quirky. A good play list. An open fire not lit tonight it was a sunny spring day today. The chef came out to check we were happy. We are planning on coming back tomorrow.

Foods great but the layout of the hotel, where drunks walk through one of the main eating areas on the way to the toilet, is poor. The front bar, also needs some added ventilation. Came here on a Thursday night for dinner, the front bar stunk of BO, no open windows for ventilation and a very undersized split system to air condition the place. Unfortunately, great food won’t be a big enough draw card to outweigh the drunken, smelly, foul mouthed, hi-viz wearing tradies all throughout the pub. Not family or women friendly at all.

What a find!!! We checked into a Motel up the road, we stopped in for a meal after checking in. Warm and Welcoming, Really clean dinning area, with a coonara heater. Could not fault the staff at all, really lovely service, genuinely welcoming. And the meals !!!! WOW. So many Gluten Free options, nothing was too much trouble when asking for a small variation with meal. All meals came out together, which I love. The meals where big and filling, even for growing boys & (husband). I found the prices reasonable, and for the food quality totally worth it. Nothing left on our plates. We could not fit anything else in if we tried (Desert!!!!) We SO wanted the Sticky Date, we rolled out. (It will be the first thing I order next time!!!) Next trip we will also book accommodation as well.

Old style pub meal way over priced. I had a hamburger my wife had fish and chips, one glass of wine each $75. Many better and cheaper options in Goulburn, will not be coming back. Should have known hardly anyone in there.
