Review General Washington Hotel - Newcastle

Nice pub with a standard beer selection (no craft or boutique beers here). The meals are a good selection of the usual pub grub and serving sizes are huge. The amenities while dated were clean and tidy.

This pub has been here for a while, you can tell just be looking at it. It reminds me of a regional town pub because of its older looks. Pub food was standard, service was attentive but the kids “playroom” needs some restorations and inspirations.

Went for lunch 8.03.2022 Yummy food and reasonably priced too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Sadly the food was very ordinary and beer was flat. There was a massive party happening at the time so perhaps the kitchen was under the pump, but when you pay $30 for fish and chips you expect a standard of quality. Tasteless fish and undercooked chips went hand in hand with a salad swimming in 3cm of balsamic. Dirty glass saw the black beer headless and flat in minutes. Have patronised this pub for many years but sadly we will not be coming back.

The meals were a typical pub meal. We ordered the bangers and mash and the crumbed lamb cutlets both had gravox (or something similar) which I think spoilt the meals a bit. For the price I would think the chef would make their own gravy, but otherwise very nicely presented. The staff were very friendly and it had a lovely atmosphere, so would definitely go back again.

Nice food a good variety to choosefrom,great service from staff, great atmosphere .

The General Washington Hotel is a friendly pub located about the 200 metres from the Stockton ferry wharf. Views of Griffith Park and the ship movements along the Hunter River. Staff are good - although the waitress asked me if my meal was good after she served it to me - In my opinion, if the meal isn't good, then I'll tell the staff - My wife knows that one thing I don't like is waitresses asking if the meal is 'OK' - It happens a lot mostly in the US - but yesterday, it happened to me at a pub in Stockton - I didn't expect that. My meal tasted great. Parking located outside the hotel. Tables also located outside the hotel. The hotel is located a short 200 metre walk from the Stockton shopping district. This pub is worth dropping in to if you are visiting the area.

I dined here on Saturday night for my friends 40th. The only reason I am giving two stars is because my meal of the salt and pepper squid was a good meal. Unfortunately everything else not. As soon as we arrived the blonde lady said I need to know how many are booked my friend said she confirmed by text it was for 20 not 30 (I was there when she confirmed) the table was set for 28. She said I need to know asap how many you need and my friend said 20 is fine and it's ok if you take a table away. Which they did that was fine. We ordered our meals separate for table 14. Meals were staggered all over again fine. But then the birthday girl and her children on one order and 2 friends on another all waited at least 30-40 mins after we had all eaten before getting their meals. A child waiting that long? I've worked hospitality as a manager for 15 years.. we asked 3 times about the meals with no apologies. Make the kids meals asap.. as every other hospitality place does, that's my advice. Then after their meals came a young lady ordered steak with sauce on the side. It was taken away to be brought back to the table by the blonde, who said did you order the sauce on the side, yes she did and stated twice she wanted it on the side, then it was said to her this is the last 300g steak either you have this one or order something different. Then the kids ice cream was forgotten and 20 mins later we had to go up and ask about it .If this is the manager or even a supervisor I would suggest you rethink her for this role. The way she spoke to this table was horrific and her body language. I have always told people I am training, if one person has something bad to say they tell 2 people who then tell two people, it's a domino effect. You have a table of 17 adults who have something bad to say to others. I wasn't going to write this, but you can't rectify mistakes or behaviours without someone giving feedback. I honestly hope you look into this because for us it ruined our evening and I won't be returning.
