From the moment we booked, the experience was exceptional. The venue had an incredible vibe and the communication was second to none. Every step of the way, Lexi and her team checked in with us, making sure everything was on track, and nothing was ever too much trouble. They were so accommodating and made the whole process feel effortless. On the day, everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy celebrating with our family and friends. The care, professionalism and genuine warmth shown by Lexi and her team made our special day even more memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed sitting in the beer garden for our meal. Both ordered the roast and it tasted really good sadly probably not as hot as it could have been but that yorkie was amazing one of the best I had had.

We recently booked the Old Courthouse function rooms for our engagement party and can't speak highly enough of the entire experience. The function coordinators were great to deal with in the leadup. The function manager on the night was wonderful. The food was incredible and the venue is beautiful. All parties seemed to go above and beyond to ensure the night went perfectly. Thankyou Old Courthouse team!!

The food was superb and the atmosphere was buzzy. Our party of 6 enjoyed the night, although there were a couple of niggles. When we booked for a mid-winter night out we were told we'd be on the verandah. I asked if that wouldn't be too cold and they said the verandah was warmer than elsewhere. When we got there the heaters were on but we were sat in front of an opening which was breezy and cold. It was a busy night so no option to change. Then we went to order and at 6.30pm they had run out of parmigiana which appeared to be one of the mainstays on the menu. Disappointing. We were told there would be a 40 minute wait for food and when it did come out there was a long break between everyone receiving their meals so some were still eating while others had long finished. We would go back but next time we'd probably choose a time when it's not so busy.

Complimenti per le pizze! As somebody who has lived part time in Italy for the last 20 years and have built my own words fitted pizza oven, I'm a tough pizza critic. The pizza was fantastic. Flavoursome thin base, nicely risen crust and just the right amount of topping.
