Went here for dinner last night and had their amazingly tasty VEGAN eggplant parma! As a vegan out this way, I am used to not having many options in pubs so it was great to have some options. Gorgeous interior and friendly staff. Food was really nice. We will definitely be back!

It’s great to see the reopening of the molesworth pub with the addition of a great little cafe. James the owner and his family are such friendly cheerful people, great service and great food. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back. It’s a great place to drop in for lunch or just coffee and pie.

We’ve passed this pub a few times on our way to our caravan at Thornton, but last week we finally decided to stop for lunch. We’re so glad we did! The service was fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. They even had both fireplaces going in the bar and the bistro, so it was a really cosy place to eat. Afterwards we went next door to the general store and grabbed some cakes for the drive home If you are like us and have driven past this gem of a pub then you should definitely stop in for a good old pub feed!!!

What a great change. Well done to the team behind it all. The addition of a Cafe is amazing, great coffee as well as a good choice of takeaway meals. We decided to go into the hotel for lunch. I had the Chicken Burger and my wife had the lasagne. Also noticed that they have pies from the Tooborac Bakery. Worthwhile stopping just for the pies!! We both loved the meals, best chicken burger I've had in a long time. This pub is really worth the time to stop and "absorb the ambience." Will definitely go back. Well done.

A group of 12 of us turned up unannounced for lunch. Lovely staff quickly rearranged some tables to suit our group and tended happily to our needs. Nothing was too much trouble and we all appreciated how attentive staff were. Then came our Meals. All together, all hot, all absolutely delicious. There was not a complaint among us. Great spot, great atmosphere, amazing food, an absolute must stop. Thank you

Great to see this pub with new energy and owners. Stopped in tonight for what was an excellent classic schnitz. Also give the Goulburn Draught on tap ago. Recommended.

We stopped in for lunch on our way through and boy oh boy are we glad we did! The decor was a lovely modern country style, very relaxed. The service was impeccable, the food was fantastic and the beer was cold. We both had a parmi (which I don't usually do) and they were great, proper chicken breast with nice thick ham on top and cooked to perfection. Don't even get me started on the chips!! They were the best I have had!!! If you are in the area, do yourself a favour and stop for a meal!!
