Really great night here. Excellent accommodating staff, very good meal, great menu selection, it did take a little longer than usual but very busy place and worth it.
Cool atmosphere with nice relaxed vibe.
This will be our local now for sure.

(thursday 19th april rnd 7.30pm)We went to several places but were all full before we went here, when we entered it was as busy as every other location we had been to, we waited to be seated as per the sign, we were seated within 5 mins then had a nervous young waitress (was her 1st night so she told us) well she did really well as food and drink orders were taken within 10 mins of us sitting down, delivered to us with another maybe 15 mins, the food was lovely and good value for money and the service great, the only thing that let it down was the lighting, you could hardly read the menu as toooo dark, but other than that we will definitley be back

Me and my group of friends always come here for drinks, but on St. Patrick’s Day we all decided to have dinner here as well. I had the StoneGrill Chicken Breast and I liked how I got to choose two side dishes from a wide varietie of salad and potato styles. I ended up choosing the mashed potato and garden salad and they both tasted great and it was fun cooking your own chicken on the Stone Grill too Every one else in the group seemed to be enjoying their steaks and burgers as well. But a steak for 40$ was a little pricey but my chicken only costed about $30 so its a little expensive but the food is presented well and is delicious.

My partner and I usually have an enjoyable experience at the fox and ferret. food is great, but my most recent visit was ruined by the service.
We were seated upstairs for dinner, and i think our waitress was annoyed that she had to keep trudging up and down stairs to serve us, never got a smile, just grunts and angry faces. i ordered a $14 cocktail which was then half spilt all over the table as she gave it to me, with a reply of “whoops”. no apology, no offer to get me a new drink or to clean it up so we had to mop up the mess ourselves. dissapointing.

Went in after a movie with friends.
Great atmosphere and we were given good seats over looking the bar area.
Food was really good. Large meals (prawns a bit on the small side) really tasty and very nice dessert.
Good value, had a great time and will return with the loyalty card they gave me.

Not a bad place. The decor is London Pub, but it doesn’t quite make it! – marks for trying though. Food is tasty and not bad value, but the drinks are a bit on the pricy side. Overall, will visit again, but won’t make a special trip.

Favourite local for our flat mainly because its not far and not too expecnsieve. Good pub vibe and good prices for pints (at least $1 cheaper than Merivale). Big fans of the burgers, but not so keen on whatever brand tomato sauce they use. Could be better. Guys who work there are pretty nice and good at having a chat and making you feel welcome.

the atmosphere was fantastic good British pub kinda feel. The drinks were OK priced and the pints were very large which is great! the meal took 45 Min’s to arrive after having to speak to the staff and the waitress forgot our second round of drinks then forgot one on top of that. food was tasty yet overpriced. would drink there again with the pool tables is a nice touch but food to expensive for what you get

Good beer, steaks & friendly service, though prices are a bit stiff. Would come back if in steak mood. However – bring a torch if you want to read the menu – in some parts of the restaurant is it really dark!
