Went here with my partner for a nice dinner last Friday evening & wow it was a real treat. The staff were fantastic & the 3 course set menu we had was delicious, full of flavour & incredible presentation you could tell the chef took real pride in putting everything together. The premises has plenty of character to it & I have no hesitation in recommending to other dinners, we’ll definitely be back A+ Fisher House:)

We went there for lunch on sunday to try out for mothers day to see if it was any good and by word of mouth from other people. We both chose the Roast of the day and that was good indeed with carrots, potatoes, brocollini horseradish sauce which had a kick to it. The service was good and the meals took about 20 minutes to come out and then we tried the desserts my partner had the sugar glazed lemon curd tart w raspberry & pomegranate sorbet and i had the coconut liquer panacotta, with pineapple mint salsa both were good indeed. The only problem was the price very expensive for the two of us but worth the travel over to there. Look forward to Mothers day then.

took some business clients for a early working lunch, service was slow and we were made to feel that we were a inconvience to them.

coffee was average and the food we felt was overpriced for what it was.

great venue and surrounding but let down by the service and food.

Fisher House hosted my 21st for around 90 people and provided us with a ‘Half House’ hireage. We had subsidised drinks plus nibbles, with us bringing a cake etc.

The atmosphere was great for the mixture of family and friends and there was enough space. Everyone found the service really efficient and professional.

My family and I would recommend Fisher House for a range of functions and we will definitely be returning as we know the food is great.

Thanks KJ, Tino and bar girls for a wonderful 21st birthday.

have just been to fisher house tonight for dinner, was very disappointing, we turned up at 6.30 and felt like we wernt welcome at all and like they were closing up around us. We had spiced beef pockets and the tomato brochette as starters, and had absolutely no taste at all, then finally an easy 40mins our mains came out with one of the eye fillets being a medium rear when asked for a medium -well, when we approached about it, we asked for another meal so ordered fish as was faster to cook, an we got charged for it. all in all for meal for 4 people that was only half right it cost us $400

I recently arranged a combined work dinner. With 13 guests, the drawing room was set aside for us. A tab was quickly set up at the bar making ordering of drinks easy. The food was superlative and, with 13 guests, just about everything was tried. The wines, chosen by a friend who is knowledgeable, were pronounced excellent. The service could not be faulted, friendly, informative without being pushy and the food arrived promptly. Soft background music was appreciated and the bill was very reasonable. All in all a wonderful evening, definitely to be repeated. We were so impressed that my wife insisted on having her birthday breakfast there, and we enjoyed it enormously. With plenty of parking, a relaxing setting and a fullsize snooker table, the original Fisher Home, of the Ra Ora stud, deserves a try.

We have just had a family celebration for our 50th wedding anniversary, and were extremely happy with the venue at Fisher House. The separate dining room plus adjacent games room worked well, and kept the younger folk occupied trying to play snooker and darts. The buffet menu, with a couple of items added, proved to be great, and the generous quantities of oysters and prawns were particularly popular. The friendly and efficient waitress service kept the drinks coming, and the final bill was very moderate. 100% recommended!

Just recently went to a mutual friends wedding function. What a hidden gem!
I thought it may have been a bit cool for the time of year but ended up being a beautiful day with equally great food & service.
The staff were attentive but not obtrusive giving us ample time to enjoy the day. Food arrived on time as per the Bride & Groom’s schedule.
Will remember Fisher House if I ever need a function venue.
Thanks to all the staff at Fisher House.

Attended a function held here. Was not impressed with the timing or quality of the food. We had to wait far to long for our meals, in the cold and dark. Felt ignored. I actually caught a cold after this. Now I admit I am young and fit, but for my elderly grandparents, sitting in the cold and dark for hours was not on.

Went there for lunch with several business clients, felt it was overpriced and seemed to take ages to be brought out. We had to eat quickly as had afternoon meetings to get to.
Seemed confused if it is a bar, cafe, function centre or restaurant.

We had a work lunch here, which we pre ordered for so food all arrived at a nice time.
Prices were reasonable and food tasty.
Have also been here for Friday after work drinks, where they bring around nibbles – how is that for host responsibility?
Nie atmosphere and decor also.
