The Tavern lives up to its indigenous name "Wollombi" meaning meeting place. Great drinks, food and a great atmosphere. People and dog friendly. πŸ•

Great food! The bikkies are a pain. It is like they own the place. It can be a bit intimidating getting past them. You have wonder why they find a need to stand on the footpath right near the door. We enjoyed the burgers. Granddaughter wants to go back already for the Hawaiian Burger.Pleasant service too.

Just a short scenic drive south of Cessnock is country heaven at the Wollombi Tavern. Eat, drink and absorb the relaxing views from their rustic deck. The staff are very welcoming, the food is fantastic and the beer and wine cold. One of our favourite places to ride or drive to. You will want to come back.

Beautiful drive to Wollombi Tavern. The food is typical pub fare with good prices. You can sit along the balcony undercover or go out into the garden area under the shade of the trees or not. Plenty of places for kids to run and play. Has a great camping spot that is flat, grassed and near a little creek with trees abound.
The little town has lovely shops with plenty of history. Great relaxed day out

One of my favourite places to visit. A cute little town... So peaceful and relaxing. Quite a popular spot on the weekends with lots of bikers popping in. Fantastic meals! I had the steak and it was cooked to perfection πŸ‘Œ If you visit, you have to try the famous Dr Jurd's Jungle Juice! Camping available at the back of the tavern which gets really busy over holiday period. Public holidays there are awesome markets held just a short walk down the street from the tavern. If you're feeling like a bit of a drive after the tavern, I recommend going to Mangrove Creek Dam. Very pretty place!

A good old fashioned country pub. The service here is friendly and they have a good selection of beers with a $5 special beer that always changes. Great food and massive sizes. You can camp here free of charge. You have to try the burger with the lot, it's just too good.

Wow one of the best restaurant ever in Australia. Even a steak is closed at that moment but the owner kindly accept us and make a food for was. So juicy and soft. price is not that expensive it was totally reasonable. Its said that I can’t go there again cause it’s too far from here. Pizza was excellent and beer also. Super friendly staff! Must visit that restaurant you won’t regret it
