We celebrated my 40th birthday here last week in The Middle Room. The room was absolutely perfect! Ample room and seating for all our guests. We had access to the room hours before the function to decorate it as we saw fit. The sound system was perfect for our playlists and speeches. The food was outstanding and the bar staff at our private bar were all extremely friendly to all our guests. They could not have been more helpful.
I highly recommend The Laurel Hotel highly for any cocktail style function.
Thanks for making my 40th a fantastic night!
We had my son's 21st at The Laurel upstairs function room on Saturday night and it was fantastic. Venue was amazing, relaxed atmosphere and food and bar was great. Function coordinator Emma was great and made the booking and payment process easy and the bar and security staff on the night were lovely, accommodating and made sure everyone enjoyed the evening. We had all day from 11am to set up and the option to pack up that night or the next day. Highly recommend. Thanks again, Sue
Meal was okay. My partner had the steak which he asked to be medium rare however it came out well done. I had the pork belly which was nice, nothing really had a "wow factor" flavour wise. Staff were friendly and attentive.
Great Local Pub. Very good Pub food compared to others in the area. Prices are competitive and good wine list - which is what I look for too. So all round a great venue!
Dined in here on a Friday night with table for 9. The place was pretty full but the service was really friendly and helpful.
Had a mix of items for entree and chicken parmigiana for main with chips and salad.
Food was pretty tasty.
Only negative is that the mains took a while to come out.
Sunday was my first time at their new rooftop bar and I was nothing short of impressed. Such an amazing addition to Ascot vale with its modern design and fun atmosphere. The sun was out, food was great and the cocktails were delicious! The staff were all friendly and the bartender really knew her stuff, giving us great suggestions on drinks and food to try. Definitely recommend this rooftop bar if you are looking for a place to spend a great sunny Sunday afternoon.
Came here for cheap Parma night. And I guess we got what we were expecting! Cheap Parma, decent quality and serving size. Staff were friendly enough, although $4 for a soft drink seemed a bit steep! Not a bad venue, but wouldn't be rushing back, food was nothing spectacular.
The Laurel has a pub atmosphere with amazing fine dining meals.
There menu is extensive and always have a changing specials menu, so there is always something new to try!
The staff are very attentive and the restaurant is family orientated, offering colouring in, which of course I must always have a go at!
I recommend trying the chocolate brownie dessert.
It is a sundae with caramel sauce and honeycomb icecream on top of rich warm chocolate brownie, delicious!
Fantastic service, great steaks, the kids meals were perfect and I can't wait to go back! Didn't get to desserts as the mains were so filling. Love it.
Solid feed, with a grouse crew on a Thursday night. $12 parma! Probs a 7.5/10 on the parma scale. Great accompanied with a few schooners, a group of mates, beats and good vibes.
Thursday Night Parmas!
$12 for an average sized Parma with chips, with 8 different selections, you simply cannot go wrong with that sort of value.
Great vibes and live music, definitely a destination if you are looking for some good food and a laugh with some mates
Stepped in for a couple drinks on a cold Sunday afternoon.. it was a welcome relief from the weather outside as we picked a table near the raging gas log fire. The Bistro wasn't particularly busy with ample tables available and this made me wonder why as it has a very inviting interior with a lovely central bar surrounded by tables. The staff were friendly, but, at times it was difficult to get their attention and it was as though they did their best to avoid making eye contact. This was the only down side with the staff and is an area that they need to improve as other tables could be heard speaking of the difficulty in getting the attention of staff. Patrons drifted in and out without too much commotion all afternoon and it is inviting and worth a visit. Our snacks, wines and beers were all to our liking and our next visit will be to sample more substantial meals.
Thank you to all who make the Laurel a magnificent place to visit and eat and be merry! Our wedding was carefully planned and was a magnificent evening for all! Thank you to the team for your efforts! The rave reviews about the food from all of our guests keep coming. You’ve made a local pub to be proud of! Thank you, Mel and Liam
the Laurel Hotel is a great pub...service was very good and food was delicious... i recommend it highly...
The Laurel seems to have a great deal menu every night of the week. Parma’s on Thursday for $16 is hard to beat.

Our daughter celebrated her 21st at The Laurel Sat 20th March. We booked the Rooftop area and had approximately 60 guests. The night was BRILLIANT!. From my fist phone call / visit to The Laurel the service at every level was exceptional. Staff took the time to show me all the options available, provided me with all necessary information, were always available to take my phone calls with questions or queries in an utmost professional and warm manner. The selection of food available was excellent. On the night the Rooftop was clean and all ready for us to decorate. It was cosy yet spacious enough for us to have a dozen + dancing the night away at any one time. The food served was absolutely delicious, served piping hot, beautifully presented and served by very caring staff ensuring all guests were fed. The staff behind the bar worked extremely hard and never once seemed flustered or too busy to serve our guests. The level of care and genuine desire to make our night a success was beyond my expectations. A HUGE thank you to Barbara for her administration and organizational abilities to get all organized prior to the event. On the night the HUGEST thank you goes to JOEL for his unbelievable and exceptional customer service, unwavering care attending to every minute detail to ensure the night was running perfectly to the end - and it did! Joel you were an absolute STAR and I can not thank you enough! All of our guests, young and old said what a brilliant night they had, commenting the food was fantastic and plentiful, venue was sensational and loved how it ran so smoothly and was absolute FUN. A shout out too to Lauren for your wonderful staff and to your Chef. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Laurel to anyone thinking of book The Laurel for their special event. THANK YOU!!!
