"We had the pleasure of hosting my husband's 40th birthday celebration at the Friend in Hand Hotel last Saturday night, and it was an unforgettable experience! We chose to celebrate up in Georgie's Bar, and from the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. First and foremost, the venue itself was charming and had a warm, inviting atmosphere. The rustic yet cozy ambiance added a unique touch to the evening. The staff at the Friend in Hand Hotel were exceptional in every way. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that all our guests had a fantastic time. Their professionalism truly shone through, and they made us feel like VIPs throughout the entire evening. Now, let's talk about the food! The culinary offerings at the Friend in Hand Hotel were simply outstanding. The diverse menu catered to all tastes, and our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was. But what really set this celebration apart were the entertainment options. The pool tables and arcade games provided endless fun and excitement for our guests. And the icing on the cake? Georgie, the resident cockatoo, made a surprise appearance, charming everyone with her playful antics and adding a unique and memorable touch to the night. Overall, our experience at the Friend in Hand Hotel was nothing short of amazing. I can't thank the staff enough for their exceptional service and hospitality. Without a doubt, I would choose this venue again for any future functions. If you're looking for a venue that combines a fantastic atmosphere, top-notch staff, delicious food, and fun entertainment, the Friend in Hand Hotel is the perfect choice. Our celebration was a resounding success, thanks to this wonderful establishment!"
"Thought we would try something different. Great pub style meals. Servings were generous, and food was lovely."
"Retro pub really good for meeting friends. Has lots of character. Has some really hearty and great tasting and well priced meals. All meals basically range from $15 to $20 and are large, fresh and made to order. Burgers, schnitzels, lasagna, meatballs, amazing shoe string fries, etc. Weeknight specials as well. Georgie the cockatoo who lives in the pub is a real hoot. Well worth visiting this Glebe gem."
"Love this Glebe Gem. It is an ecclectic mix of stuff, including a Live Cockatoo. New restaurant called Fork In Hand. Great food good value Sunday evening raffle is an experience with all proceeds going to local Glebe Public School. Live band and plenty of characters. A must visit. Sunday roast is back at just $15 Kid friendly."
