one of the best pubs i’ve been to in terms of atmosphere, decent food too. Great place
Arrived on a Wednesday, during school holidays, as first stop on trip along the Great Ocean Road. Easy check in - via barstaff as reception was shut on our 7:15pm arrival - to a compact but neat and very clean room (#9). Given two drink tickets on check in. Place wasn't busy, ordered meals which came out in quick time. Chicken Schnitzel ($33) was fantastic (thick, tender and juicy), excellent chips and a bit of cos and radicchio leaf masquerading as "salad" (seems a common theme in recent reviews) and the gnocchi beef and pork ragu (Specials Board - $34) was excellent. Pub was wonderful - large outside beer garden which would be great during the day, pool tables, TAB, large bisto area and a family friendly room with several tables away from the main bar. It's a bit pricey but it is on a tried and true tourist route. I suspect this place might be a different beast on a weekend during summer when it's packed.
Overpriced to the point of ridiculous . Poor service , unhelpful staff , has gone to the dogs , avoid at all cost
We had lunch on the deck overlooking Lorne. The sun was out. The drinks were cold, our meals were cooked beautifully (chicken snitz and prawn fish cake) views amaxing and the staff were friendly and helpful ! Prime location and great vibes

We loved hearing the sun, cold drinks and those dishes hit the spot for you, Janelle. Delighted the deck view and team service added to the vibes. We hope to see you back here again soon.
We had a very lovely time here today. It was lots of fresh air out of the city. After a long drive we decided to stop for some food. very polite staff. Happy environment.

Beautiful scallops and the mussels were divine! Lovely meal for my birthday! Thankyou!
Response from Lorne Hotel
Hi Caragh, we are delighted to hear that the scallops and mussels starred on your birthday and I hope we get to mark another special occasion with you.
Ordered a bowl of chips and grilled fish, waited 45 minutes and then was told it would still be another 15 minutes. I got my money back, the young man at the bar was really understand. The two stars are for him . Outside dining has no blankets or heating. I do not recommend.

Been to Lorne twice with friends. Food has always been good and the drinks have been good quality as well. Whenever I make my way back into town would come in again.
