I'm writing this on behalf of a friend who is a pensioner & has been coming to the Avoca for years. We quiet often catch up for dinner, usually having the salmon which is nice. One night we tried the steak & they were both very tough, Lucy replaced them with the salmon which was very appreciated. Bev has been sick so she thought she would try the steak again thinking it would good for her. Patrick asked the chef for a nice tender piece of steak for Bev. Big mistake, it was tough again, with a big piece of Grissle and fat. the salad was mixed lettuce leaves, no dressing. The chips were

Chaos from start to finish. Checking in time 3pm, our check-in time 4.45pm! Hotel under refurbishment dust everywhere! Four flights of stairs and two corridors! Then to be told kitchen was closed and no breakfast(booked an £80 room with breakfast) Never mentioned any of this when booking. This place is an absolute joke!

Booked to have dinner at the Avoca for Valentine's Day. When we got there we were left waiting without any recognition for a while. Considering the restaurant was 70% empty there was no excuse. After some time a staff member finally acknowledged us only to keep working and leave us waiting. Once we finally got seated we were left for 20 minutes waiting without a bottle of water being put on the table, bread rolls served or drinks and food order being taken. Tables after us were getting water and orders taken. It was almost comical waiting to see how long they would take before finally

Terrible place with terrible overpriced food.
We came here as a group of 8 for a Dinner and not one of us received a decent meal.
The schnitzels were tiny and dry and tasted like old
Oil along with the chips that were served with it.
The seafood platter was rubbery and chewy.
The pizzas were cooked on a pita bread of sorts and lacked any flavour and again were TINY for $20+
The burgers were also very very small and had little flavour at all and the cheese wasn't even melted on the beef.
Service was also lacklustre and when asking for a drink politely were made to feel like we were

A revamped Avoka = a chill out spot for friends after a long days work or a great place to catch up for a birthday party. The latter in my case. It was my friends birthday and we got a great spot outside under the shades with plenty of seating for the 20+ people that arrived. She didn't have to reserve or pay an exorbitant price and the staff were in the ball when it came to getting rid of the old glasees and bringing out food.
The food was all reasonably priced - we had some wedges which came with a good serving of sour cream and sweet chilli sauce and wine (of course) which was selected

Delicious and though I wasn't the biggest fan of the interior decor in the main restaraunt I absolutely would love to try the front bar area in the future it contrasted directly with out area with beautiful foliage and a great outdoor area. Inside where we'd booked it was a bit old homesy in the part we sat at but who am I to judge, it's probably the style people who wear ties and blazers would feel the most comfortable in.
The real winner for me tonight were the serving sizes, I got a side of veg, the asian style roasted sweet potato and onion medley that was larger than most mains

Now this is one really impressive pub. In fact the thing I like the most about this pub is the beer garden, otherwise known as 'The Decks', to the point that I am always tempted to stop off here when I am driving past for a drink, and normally I do. I actually don't think I have been beyond the decks because that part of the pub is simply really cool. The last time I was here I even noticed that they have craft beer on tap as well as a decent range of ciders (though I was really annoyed when my friend ordered the most expensive cider in the fridge, namely because it was my shout

The Avoca, what can I say everytime I go I enjoy meals bigger than my ego and if you ask my friends and family, thats a huge meal the cost is quiet resonable and the food is always packed with flavour.
The Avoca has recently introduced a loyalty program that takes the form of an app which pleases me greatly and makes for a great reason to go back.
I have given The Avoca four out of five stars simply because I feel that star number five can only be earnt when meals come out quickly, that being said it has only been slow for me a few times an I dont mind waiting thirty minutes for a meal if it

The Avoca
I've only been to this place a few times, surprising considering it has an appealing atmosphere with large open areas for both 'Clubbin' and 'Pubbin'.
The reason I haven't been here frequently is because bizarre events always occur when I'm inside the Avoca. These weren't bad times, in fact some have been quite memorable.
Last year it was an earthquake. Strangely enough nobody felt it at the time, but the morning after it was the talk of the town. Which leads to my first theory, The Avoca has shielding against natural disasters.
