The wood-panelled dining room uses English oak from the MCC Long Room, and there is a beer garden. Guests often praise the steaks and the friendly staff.
Rare steak was cooked to medium. It was still tender so i didn't send it back. Calamari was perfect. We did wonder why we couldn't have been seated in the restaurant though, as requested. They had plenty of tables free, but we were told they were full. They forgot we have to walk through the restaurant to get to the bathrooms so we could see They were practically empty.
I recently visited The Middle Park Hotel on a Sunday since our friend recommended their Sunday roast. We hadn’t been in a while and I was quite impressed with what they have done with the place. We loved the outside beer garden vibe! Despite it being very busy staff were very accommodating with our requests, especially Morgan who helped with our dietary requirements. We will be coming back again!
Always came here for Thursday steak night. Always served quality chargrilled steak, beautiful house salad with yogurt-ish dressing, shoestring fries coved with herbal salt. Popular beef tartar is also a great option for a light dinner with a cocktail.
Love this place. Beautiful location food in the bar is high quality and the staff are super nice. Only downfall is lack of parking but after staying a couple of times you soon learn where to park.
Within 200 km of Middle Park — for the road trippers.
