Had dinner here twice. First night, we had lamb pizza and a home salad. The pizza crust could have been more cooked in the center. The salad had a well balanced dressing. Second night, we had fish'n chips. It was a generous portion, the fish was cooked to perfection, not dry. The fries though were just ok.

We were recommended by a load of people to the The Bealey when asking about going to a pub.
We had a really lovely experience, with classic pub food - opting for burgers as there was a Tuesday $20 special on.
Recommend asking to sit out on the deck in the restaurant for this coming summer, there was decent cover and the last of the days sun sent the beers down easy.
The fry on the fish, chicken and chips for the burgers was actually perfect, and made for a pretty great dinner. Chef could be a smidgen heavier on the seasoning, and would love to see citrus with the fish burger to make this a truly classic pub fish dish.
We'll absolutely be back to try some more meals, as they have a lot of amazing Glutenfree choices too.

Food quality at an unbelievable price!! Does this make sense to the market these days? Every Thursday from 5:00 pm, the special deal steak is only $20. I couldn't believe it when my friend told me, but I went and tried it and it was even more amazing. Everything from the tender steak, crisp chips, and salad was perfect. The sauce wasn't bad. Next time I go, I'll eat without the sauce. LOL The staff was nice and I felt sorry to ask for anything because it was so cheap. My friend said that the mussel dish was so delicious, I really want to try it. The atmosphere is great because the bar and the restaurant are separated, and the atmosphere looks great with the terrace space. The parking space is also large, so parking is convenient. I highly recommend it. I really appreciate your service ❤️

Enjoyed our weekend dinner there! Service was very efficient and friendly. The food prices were fair and it was a very nice jovial atmosphere. Clearly this is a place where friends and families meet up for a shared meal! We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The mushroom halloumi burger was on my mind for days!

Classic pub style food - the group ordered a pizza, a burger and steak.
All meals were really nice, and there were plenty of good looking options on the menu.
The service was some of the best I've had in a long time. Not only did the waitress patiently give helpful answers to all my questions, they also asked about dietary requirements which I thought was amazing (as I had never been asked this at a restaurant before).
This is definitely a high ranking restaurant for me in both service and meal quality.
