friends were served food in the smoking area and i was asked to stop smoking , i asked if that was due to their preference or the waiters as they were sharing my cigarette and wouldn’t mind, he replied that it was the law so i put out my cigarette… went to order drinks 10 minutes later and was told i would no longer be served because i told the server ‘what are you going to do about it’ when asked if i could stop smoking. which absolutely did not happen
seemed he couldn’t handle being questioned as i’ve never heard of a law of not being able to smoke in a designated smoking area, it’s a shame because it’s a nice pub

Food was tasty, but after our meal was forgotten and we waited almost an hour, we were met with average customer service and bad attitudes that was quite disappointing. Came away feeling unsatisfied and that we were the ones in the wrong. Feel like some improvements with customer service could be made.
A nice pub, especially their FOH staff and the service they offered. Unfortunately the food was just average. Great vibe despite the hotel looking a bit old.
Went on a cute date with my partner and ended up being really disappointed! Burger was burnt, calamari was over cooked and oily. Beers was the only saving grace. $65 for a less than average meal.
I wanted to share amazing experience I had at The Rochey for my 30th birthday. Benoit was beyond hospitable, was super responsive and took on all my requests with ease. He made sure the day ran so smoothly and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I even had some last minute changes, which he handled quickly and efficiently.
My guests were so happy with the space and the vibe was perfect for what I wanted.
The food was amazing, and Benoit worked with their chef to curate a menu that everyone loved and we were talking about days later.
Also shout out to Sim, who helped out last Saturday, as well as at my partner’s birthday around the same time last year. Sim has awesome energy and helped to make the day what it was too.
Loved the day and can’t wait to be back - thanks so much again. I truly appreciate it! I would highly recommend booking The Rochey Green Room for your event :)

Wanted to get a quick meal and drinks before moving onto later things, was pleasantly surprised with the varied menu (which was well cooked and presented), but also the large variety of beers on tap. Ordered a Japanese black beer which was fun and different.
Love the Rochey!
A lovely welcoming venue with good vibes. The food is delicious! We're been many times with the changes to the menu and it's always good. From the gnocchi, Sunday roast, cheeseburger and the parma. The dessert pies are also nice to try being house made and done right.
Lots of drinks on offer with happy hour on offer. Super nice staff and great pub vibes. Ample amount of space where the pub turns into a dancefloor after 9pm with a DJ. Also it's dog friendly.

Came here for a Sunday session and enjoyed great non-alcoholic cocktails by Lyre’s, and a Sunday roast. I had a vegetarian option, which instead of beef was tempura mushrooms - too oily and too much batter, not a fan. The roasted vegetables and gravy was good. The vegetarian option didn’t come with a Yorkshire pudding like the beef roast does - the Yorkshire pudding not being strictly vegan. Both are $25. As this is my favourite part of a roast I also asked for a pudding which was charged at $3. We also had gnocchi which was good. Over all nice atmosphere and nice staff.
