Review The Kent Hotel - Newcastle

Lynda Hinton
We had the $12.50 Schnitzel Special. Nice big Thick Scnitzel , lots of chips and a great salad that has an awesome dressing. If anyone complains about this they are hard to please. The gentleman serving was friendly. The tables clean. The environment friendly and comfortable for people who are not "pub" or crowd people. We had soft drinks they are a little heavy on price for post mix but hey cheap lunch, you can't complain.

Would give no stars but have to give 1! Firstly was overcharged! Twice! Had to pick up the $30 error ourselves then get a refund. The Schnitzel was absolutely disgusting! Was like I was eating a packet load of Panko crumb with some white moosh inside! Plus the signage is wrong (apparently it’s $3.50 more for the potato chats and veg but the sign doesn’t say that as per the photo). Staff look sad and depressed mostly the woman it seemed. Was too scared to go back at the time of getting food cos all of it was pretty bad after spending close to $180. Just didn’t eat it. Management (lady, won’t say name) just said sorry we busy & understaffed (is that an excuse?) was gobsmacked at lack of smile and service, so much flat looking faces, the guy upon entry was the only smile and light of the whole place!

Visiting from Sydney on a Monday night. The $10 pasta special caught our attention. We weren't sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised by how yummy the pasta was (and I am Italian, so I have very high standards when it comes to Italian food!). The staff was lovely, accommodating my dietary requirement needs when I mentioned I was a bit intolerant to a specific ingredient. They also had $5 wine, which was the perfect match with the pasta dish (5 different types to chose from). We sat outside and enjoyed soaking in the Hamilton vibes while enjoying a good feed.

When I was here with my best girlfriends last week, a Gen Z saw us having the time of our lives, and said "Re-living your youth, girls?" Why, thank you child, yes we were. It had been 15 years since our last visit, but the bar, the carpet, the dance floor and I think even some of the patrons are frozen in time. Thank god some things never change.

A dedicated vegan menu brought us here in a visit from Sydney, and wow it didn't disappoint. We had the mushroom steaks, noodle salad, Corn ribs and ginger beer battered artichokes. The mushroom steaks were sensational, as were the corn ribs. The noodles in the salad were a bit hard like they should have been cooked a little longer and the artichoke tasted a bit too vinegary, so I assume it was the type from the jar in vinegar, a rinse should do the trick to remove a bit more of it and it would have been a great dish. All up we were impressed by the creativity of the menu and the effort to make sure vegans are catered for. We will be back!

I've been coming to the Kent several days a week starting on Australia Day. Friendly Bar Staff. Great Trivia and Karaoke nights with Joylon. $10 pasta Monday's, a great Steak and Chips meal from $7.70 all day, all week. Great Musical acts at the weekend. Great night's out 😀🎤🎸👍

Staff are unsure of when their drink specials end, takes nearly an hour to get 2 miserably small steaks out, can't change their ticket printer ink in the kitchen and were reluctant to give me a refund or any compensation. Got the money for one of the $7.70 steaks back. Treat locals like locals and these reviews won't happen. Wasn't busy either, 8:30pm on a Monday night.

Balcony beers in the sun; cannot recommend more! Great vegan menu (like absolutely amazing) and lovely daytime atmosphere.
