The Bank Hotel East Maitland

Short drive from home (within 10 minutes). Friendly service. Cold beer and hot food. Steak cooked nicely for both. Short delay but hardly noticeable and worth it in the end. Doesn't offer cash at the bar so take cash or the ATM. Will go back again.

Had dinner recently at the Hotel. Food well prepared but not consistent throughout the group. Honest pub food that could use some work.

I haven't eaten here for over 3 years. We decided to eat here again on a whim. Really disappointed . There were no wow items on the menu. A lot of the flavour combinations were a bit too odd for me. Not a fan of fruit and savoury combos. The food was edible and I am sure that some people love coming here and have menu favourites; we just found it all rather unimpressive. I had the green olive and chorizo arancini. There was nothing Olive or chorizo about it. I always hope when I have a bad experience like this that we have just been on a bad night. Let's hope this is the case for this one.

We have been visiting the bank for dinner once or twice a month for a long time and I have NEVER had a bad meal here. Each time the menu changes I have a hard time trying to decide what I want to try first! The food is amazing, The staff are always lovely and helpful to us and our children.

17 of us had lunch at this hotel dining room and everyone of us had a lovely meal The Tempura Prawns excellent as was the salt and pepper squid ,the rump steak was perfectly cooked as was the fish ,All meals were attractively presented and the salads and vegetables were deliciousThis was a birthday celebration ,the hotel allowed us to bring a cake and provided plates and cutlery at no charge for this ,coffee was very good and the bar service excellent all in all a memorable lunch and we will return
