Town Centre Vikings

"Supposed Chinese new year draw was a shambles , only had 1 lady looking after drinks in pokies area who was lovely and very apologetic , food seems to have improved recently July 2023 , had a couple of meals both been good."

"Nice venue overlooking some bowling greens. The food was OK, but the roast was better at Lanyon Vikings! 4/5 stars."

"I've been a member of Vikings Town centre for over 10 years. The food has always been great. 6 weeks ago my wife and I had dinner at Vickings it was a great experience- excellent service and great food. On Sunday 9 Jul 23 we returned with our daughter and her child and had the Sunday roast special with apple strudel. We asked for Beef, Lamb and Pork. The meal arrived most uninviting. The Beef was cut thick and was fatty and grisly. The Lamb and Pork were nicely sliced and good quality. The vegetables were roast pumpkin, potatoes, far to many peas and what appeared to be a very dry piece of Yorkshire pudding. We had to order a bowl of steamed vegetables to supplement the meal. The apple strudel came in a cup with the smallest amount of luke warm custard with the rest very cold. All in all very disappointing as I no they can do better. If you advertise a traditional Sunday roast then that's what you deliver. Cheers David"

"Highly disgusted in the level of service received. Each time when ordering at the bar we had to prompt the four male staff serving for glasses. Then to see one of them walk around dramatically kick a chair in place reinforced the unprofessionalism. Very poor customer service. Even when our table was cleared by the wait staff during our meal was rude, reaching over people inappropriately without manners was disgusting. Management needs to clearly get on board & train their staff."

"Update Nov 2022: it seems like the bistro has changed hands? Group of approx 30 people. Function meals were a lot better organised this time, though we had a weird group menu where we could only have entree+main or main+dessert so it was awkward sitting around with colleagues where half didn't have food. The table settings were very cramped; instead of allowing a person one side of a small square table to themselves it was about 1.3 people which mean some had their plate balancing between the cracks of two uneven tables. I've not ever seen such a single long line of those square tables, I'd call it a strange arrangement for a function. It was an epic walk still to get a drink at the bar at the other end of the building. Bar halfway was unmanned. Would be nice if they provided water in function rooms. I had salmon for my main and it was absolutely delicious and would receive a five star rating alone. My dessert was forgotten and when questioned the server said "the chef has done everything that was on the order" or something to that extent which made it feel like I was the one in the wrong and I felt pretty awkward eating my dessert after that. Original review 2 stars, Dec 2020(?). Review mostly based on the food. Cheesy wedges were a sad mess of cheap frozen wedges and cheap cheese that solidified into one giant lump of wedge. 200gram scotch fillet medium rare was served with the wrong sides. By the time it came back the meat was lukewarm. The meat had been cooked to hell and back. It was barely medium well, dry, and burnt. No gravy made it hard to swallow. What an insult to the meat. Please don't put steak on your menu if you don't know how to cook it! The potato bake was delicious, the vegetables were good. Serving size abysmal. Had to search half of the building to find a spare napkin. Ability to handle a small function of 20 was atrocious as per the many food stuff ups and poor quality that others also received. The carpets are well overdue for a deep clean. Dry sauce splattered all over decorative pot plants. Glad I didn't use the toilets. Never stepping foot in this place again (an empty threat since I had no choice when someone rebooked the same venue)"
