Peden’s Hotel

great food , good service. a great local pub . would recommend

We usually have dinner there before attending a show at PACC and it's almost always a good experience. Occasionally it's very busy and waiting times are longer than we planned for, and the menu doesn't always have what we like but overall it's good.

Food was lovely. We had a table of 7 we all ordered at the same time with stating we were all on the same table number. One person was given there meal of egg plant snitzel after about 20 minutes then 15 minutes later we went to bistro to ask where the other meals were, told they were coming. 10 minutes later they arrived...2 pizzas which were delicious. I'm just not sure why they didn't come out at the same time?

My husband had a beef burger, it was fine. I had a caesar salad with chicken. The lettuce was limp, the chicken was very dry and there was too much cheap dressing. Very disappointing. Additionally, as I was driving (and our accommodation was along a bush-line dirt road, with wildlife hazards), I didn't want much alcohol. I requested a middy of Brookvale Union ginger beer, only to find that the smallest glass available was a schooner - far more than I wanted. So I had to leave half a glass of ginger beer behind as well. We were attending a performance at PACC, so the location was very convenient, but I would not return.

Thankyou so much for a wonderful well organised dinner out last night before the 🎭 theatre. Food was great value , quick friendly service, we had our meals within 15 minutes giving us time to relax and enjoy a few drinks as well. Excellent service 🥳

Had dinner before the show next door great food great service

First 2 dishes we ordered weren’t available so out of 3 pasta dishes on menu 2 weren’t available that’s what we booked there for the pasta is good and the schnitzel that we ended up ordering was just warm and soggy.

Quick lunch after the footy. Lovely staff food & venue

great atmosphere. good food and wonderful staff. . best snitty in town.

We visit Cessnock regularly from Sydney & despite staying next to the Leagues club we often have dinner at Pedens so it's not our first visit, we visited 3wks ago but it was so busy that we had to eat in the sports bar hence why I chose to book this time (& it was relatively quiet in the bistro lols), we had the famous snitzel last visit which was delish & generous, I've previously splashed out on the pork belly & raved about how amazing it was so I had it again sat night, there's no longer the puree which was disappointing, there appeared to be more salad than previous which is always yum, sadly the pork itself which is usually the star wasn't as good as previous times either, the bottom was dry & the crackle was rubbery, I also didn't like the poached pear which was a new addition, so overall I did enjoy it but it wasn't worth the cost this time around & it's unlikely I'll order it again, I'll stick with the snitty! My partner had the special of bangers & mash which was great but we always prefer a few greens with it not just meat & potato (that said there are other pubs doing the same), in terms of atmosphere the pub wasn't busy but during our visit a big rowdy crowd came in, we noticed security direct a few of the group out soon after, very impressed with your security they are always on top of things, that's alot of detail I know but we are overall really happy with Pedens & we'll be back again soon!

Great dinner and great service and very good wine .

Best Snitty in town. Great food and wonderful staff. Will keep coming back.

its the best place to come for a nice meal and a cold drink. staff are amazing and the food brilliant.

We waited nearly 1hour to order ( there was an event on next door) The waitress was very rude . The food came out very late , and we were unable to eat our meals

Amazing food and Amazing staff. Pedan's will always be our pub .

Food was amazing and reasonably priced as well, overall good experience

Great visit. Hotel was spacious and super clean. Food was amazing. Will absolutely be back soon.

As a customer it is annoying when you order a meal and want to remove the vegetables and have chips and they say they'll have to ask the chef?? Why?? It is what I want to eat No steak knife was provided with meal so had to ask for it. Advised should have been given at time of ordering and I was no we did not get it. My partner ended up using his ordinary knife to cut his steak and about 15 minutes we get a steak knife. Battered fish and chips was OK

From chosing our wine, to enjoying dessert and coffee, it was a great wayfto spend a Saturday afternoon. The stafffwere helpful and friendly and the atmosphere and company made it a great place to be.

We Ordered Chilli Prawn and Crab Linguini and Beer Battered King Dory. Both Underwhelming for the money $56. The Linguini Came in a huge bowl with a small amount of linguini 4 Lovely King Prawns and 6 Cherry tomatoes!! Pathetic!! All the Places we've dined at serve twice the amount of pasta and 6 prawns for less money. The Fish turned up and it was Hoki not King Dory and we were told the menu had changed. The price had gone up as well. It appeared to be a huge piece of fish which turned out to be mostly batter with not even half a fillet of fish inside which was tasteless. The Chips weren't fresh either. We saw some lovely meals being served ours wasn't one of them. One person took his steak back as he'd ordered Rare and it was Cremated!! Why can't chefs understand what customers want it seems like it was all too hurried as there were so many people to Serve!! I have a photo of the Fish (Batter) but there's nowhere to add it.

Food was terrible, nothing tasted good. Had to send meals back 3 times because they were wrong

Absolutely great food. We had a table of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Good food , great location , ideal eating place adjacent to Cessnock Performing Arts Centre which was great for our group,

Always a good feed, and delivered quickly even on busy nights

Liked being able to book online. We always enjoy eating at Peders. Well cooked and presented nice food

All good. Service excellent.. Happy to return any time. Delighted.

Staff at restaurant were friendly, food was tasty and prices reasonable. We all enjoyed our night and will go back again . Thank you

best place to eat in cessnock and Best Snitty in the hunter. great staff

Having only one person who could make coffee, meant we had to wait until she took all the orders before she could get our order done, which was about 40 minutes. Should have at least one other person who could make coffee.

Have been previously and wasn't great but last night on a very busy night food and service was great

Food was fantastic, service was amazing had great company too

The food was ok, just too much bread crumb on the Chicken breast and the salad could be a bit better more Tomato and Cucumber/ Beetroot etc. Also afew more options would be nice like pasta dishes, Roast dinners etc.

This is awesome atmosphere and reasonably priced would definitely recommend

it's the best place to eat. amazing staff . great prices and best of all. the best snitty in the hunter

Its the best place to be. The food is amazing and the snitty's are the best in the hunter. resturant staff are just awesome.

We were a group of 6. I loved my salmon. I did provide a written list of allergies and my chips had something on them and I couldn’t eat them. Most of the meals were good. 2 of the waves of vegetables were really chewy and not very nice.

Amazing food and service as always. Love going here when we're heading to a concert at PACC.

Enjoyed the meal and service. Atmosphere was good. Loved the location

Service was good and surprisingly timely considering how busy it was. I had the beef burger which was really nice. The other two had the steak sandwich and the steak was undercooked and so tough they couldn’t chew through it. Had to get steak knives to even attempt to cut it. Having said that I would definitely go again but never order steak as everything else was good

Great Pub and great food…Handy to the performing arts centre

Easy to visit when going to Cessnock performing arts centre
