YE OLDE KING AND QUEEN

Ye Olde King and Queen is a pub that promises a good time but kind of serves you a lukewarm pint and a side of disappointment. The vibe is all there—massive beer garden, lots of screens for the footy, and some classic pub charm—but it seems the food doesn’t quite match the setting. You’d expect hearty pub fare, but it’s more like ‘meh’ than ‘magnificent’. The service can swing from friendly to ‘where’s my drink?’ faster than you can say ‘last orders’.

It’s a decent place to kick back with mates, but if you’re hoping for a culinary experience, you might want to keep your expectations low. They’ve got space to kick back, and the architecture is definitely a talking point. Just be prepared to possibly wait a bit too long for someone to notice you at the bar, especially when the crowd gets rowdy. Basic pub grub, basic service, and a decent enough atmosphere, but that’s about it.
