Quality fish'n'chips, have a gluten free fryer so the coeliac in the family didn't miss out. Super busy at peak times. Recommend ordering online for pick up.

Thank you team for such a wonderful dinner tonight! You catered for our two families, including young children. Everything was perfect! Delicious food and huge portions! Kids food was fantastic and was brought out first (so kind) We sat outside and the kids could run around and play on the grass area and even play with a game set you lent them. Two of us were celiacs and you catered perfectly for us. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back 🥰

The Big Breakfast was big, the long black was delicious, the staff were friendly with a smile and a quip whilst still professional. I can't understand the poor reviews. Our meal arrived in good time - it was obviously freshly cooked. I asked for GF, and nothing was too much trouble. They swopped out my sausage for halloumi, and they hid a tasty tomato under the bacon. Best bit - the potato rosti/hash brown. Beautifully seasoned. There was a whole shelf of gluten-free sweet treats, 7 options! If only I'd had room after breakfast.

Came in for a quick lunch. My partner ordered the fish and chips with mushy peas Gluten free and I had the pork tacos, beef brisket lollipops and the chips. Atmosphere was nice and chill. Quiet for a Saturday lunch time but there was a lot going on outside. Service was quick and easy. The server helped my partner who had a bee sting which was much appreciated. Food came out fast and was temperature hot. The chips were the best thick cut pub chips I’ve had in a while. Good amount of salt and perfect amount of aioli. The fish was cooked well and wasn’t dry. The brisket lollipops had great seasoning and flavours were sweet and fragrant. The corn tortillas on the tacos did fall apart more than I’d like but everything else for the taco was delicious. The salsa and mole were delicious with the pork. Haven’t had a bad meal at The Kestrel to date. Thanks team

Great spot, great views, great service and very well prepared and cooked seafood. We got a great seat with a view of The Remarkables which made our night even more special. Highly recommend, because we had them, the scallops, tuna loin, charred octopus with paua and mussels in green curry with rice as my partner is gluten free. Lots of options for GF.

Overpriced for small portions served with a side of attitude for free; rushed to order and felt unwelcoming and like we’d done something wrong before even speaking. Also says gluten free can be accommodated on a sign outside but when asked, we were told no (no further context or explanation) and felt like we couldn’t ask anything else.

Best meal I’ve had in years, the cooking was so refined and thoughtful. Mastery of texture. It’s not often you have a meal where literally every single dish blows you away. Also very accommodating of dietarys (gluten free) which really made my day. Excellent service, attentive but not fussy. 10’s across the board. 🙌🏼

We had a great evening at the Mussel Inn last night. My hubby is a Coeliac, I'd emailed last week to ask if they could cater for him. This was the prompt email back.... "Yes, we can cater for coeliacs. When you’re here and ordering, please ask for the gf menu and then reiterate your coeliac requirement. We wash utensils, use different pans, etc so please emphasise coeliac rather than simply gluten free." I can 100% say that hubby had a brilliant Spicy Goat Ragou. I had the ribeye steak & our daughter the nachos. We all enjoyed meals, drinks & the atmosphere was fantastic. This place is a legend for a reason!

Every time we give stumpers another chance, they disappoint. Staff are rude, grumpy. Kitchen hours are weird. We ordered the gluten free ribs, celiac, they arrived with beer battered chips… which aren’t gluten free/celiac friendly. This place needs new owners! T
