Paragon Hotel

We popped into the Paragon Hotel for dinner one evening while we were in Mudgee and had a really enjoyable night. It is everything you want from a good country pub. Lively, welcoming and busy, with a classic pub menu, generous portions and really good value for money. It was quite packed when we were there, which added to the atmosphere, but I would definitely recommend booking ahead. We also really liked that the wine list is predominantly Mudgee based and very reasonably priced, particularly when you compare it with cellar door prices. My only wish would be to see a few more premium local wines on the list, especially some of the better reds. Mudgee has some beautiful wines and it would have been lovely to have the option of something a little more refined with dinner. All in all, a great local pub with a lovely buzz, good food, generous servings and sensible prices. We had a very enjoyable evening and would happily go back.

Lovely Ladies at the bar solved the lack of lighting on a dangerous unseen stair to my room (sensor downlight not working) - very enterprising! Also managed to find me a couple of coat hangers - thank you! A two night stay was in a clean comfortable room with share bathroom. All very clean. Comfy bed. Fridge and tea/coffee supplied in room. Would stay again. Thank you.

Was absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and service! All the dishes were cooked and seasoned to perfection and the portions were huge! Also great for families with little kids as they have a little play are. Honestly was one of the best pub feeds I've had!

Would give 3 and a half stars overall. Had dinner on Tuesday and Thursday last week. Tuesday's dinner was fantastic as was the service, 5 🌟 . Thursday was a different story, ordered our meal (was busy, but) after 35 minutes had to ask one of the servers about our order. Delivered within 3 minutes!!! Partner had steak which looked great, steak and chips were barly warm. I had the roast pork dinner, barly warm. Can only surmise that was cooked at the apropriate time but overlooked. Would have sent back but had no time. Hence 31/2 stars

The food was ok but it took so long to get our food - 1 hour! The lady at the front who took us to our table did her absolute best though. Found us a table at a super busy time and gave us free drinks because the wait for a table was so long. This is the main reason I gave it 4 stars. The pub itself was nice and warm.
