Commercial Hotel 151 Inglis Street, Ballan, Victoria 3342

"Really enjoyed the food, although contrary to the usual findings, I found the meal which was very reasonably priced and very tasty, was too much for me, that's very unusual."

"Unfortunately the 2 worst parmas I’ve ever had have been in Ballan, this one was average to say the least. One side was good despite the tasteless cheese, but the bottom wasn’t crunchy at all, it was soggy. I’m no chef but it’s really not hard to cook a schnitzel that’s crunchy on both sides. Also I was asked twice within 2 minutes by the young staff if I’d finished my meal, the second time when the guy asked I said I’d just been asked so he just repeated himself. Won’t be back in a hurry."

"Group booking of 10. Meals were all delicious and extremely well priced. Staff were super friendly especially Matty, who served us at the bar, took our orders and delivered the food. His recommendations were spot on. Such a nice experience with pleasant staff for a change. Hard to come by these days. Highly recommend"

"I recently visited the commercial pub in a charming country town, and it was an excellent experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a classic country pub vibe. The live music was a real highlight, adding to the lively and welcoming atmosphere. The musicians were talented, and the pub's patrons seemed to enjoy the music just as much as I did. It was a great way to spend an evening, relaxing with a drink and enjoying some fantastic entertainment. But it wasn't just the music that impressed me - the food was outstanding too. I tried the Parma, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was cooked to perfection and smothered in a rich tomato sauce and melted cheese. It came with a generous serving of chips and a side salad, which made for a well-rounded and satisfying meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout my visit. They made me feel welcome and comfortable, and I appreciated the genuine hospitality. Overall, I highly recommend the commercial pub to anyone looking for a fun and friendly atmosphere, excellent live music, and fantastic food. It's a great spot to relax and unwind after a long day, and I can't wait to visit again."

"Traditional Country Pub with a homey feel. No glitz or glam, just good, hearty honest food at a reasonable price. All serves were generous and delicious. Only criticism was that my Mexican Chicken Parma was way to thick at around 3cm and the Schnitzel to Sauce/Topping ratio was way off! Needed a lot more of the delicious topping to go with the chicken."
