Peden’s Hotel

Waited over an hour for meals. Food quality was good. Not great.

This is always our go to before a show and it never disappoints. Highly recommend the Pork Belly

Great food at reasonable prices. Would recommend to anyone on their next hunter valley trip

Very extensive menu. And food delicious. Staff very attentive. Tables clean and fast service

my favourite place to visit. Best snitty in town and love the service. everyone is super friendly and so down to earth. if you want great food Pedan's in your place

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

We will be back. Cocktails where nice and the meals fantastic

Waiting time for meals was not too long. Food was tasty and fresh.

staff are amazing and the food is beautiful. best Snitty in the Hunter. thanks pedans you guys made my bday pretty awesome

At different times when we've dined there the meals haven't always been up to scratch. However on this occasion my date and I were very pleased about the quality of the meals that we'd ordered. The servings were generous, the food was cooked properly and was hot when served and, in particular, we both enjoyed the freshness and quality of the garden salad that came with our meals, something that had often been less than satisfactory in the past. Our only real criticism was that our table felt very tacky to the touch which somewhat detracted from the overall experience.

Always great food, good sized portions, always very friendly staff.

Great food as always - great customer service - returning Local customers

Great salad. Inspiring combination. Glad I chose it. My partner loved her salmon dish too

Great food as always ! Good atmosphere- friendly staff - local pub

Great service and lovely welcome, food was awesome 👌 thanks

Great service from both the dining and bar staff. Excellent meals all around (there were 7 of us). Wait times for food were also great. Definitely a place I’d return to.

Food was great and staff were so helpful. So good

Service was good as well as food without too long a wait

Food was good staff were friendly great place will come back.

Great food, great pub and so close to CPAC its so easy to eat and go to show. Staff were kind.

Great food , fairly priced, good night out with friends 😊

Well what an amazing Valentine's Day we've had. We chose to go to our favourite pub in Cessnock (Pedens Hotel) for dinner. They rang last night to confirm and asked if we were celebrating anything special. I said "Just Valentine's Day!". So we arrived to be escorted to our table by Abbey (I hope I've spelt that correctly) and immediately saw a lit candle and a single red rose, plus 2 chilled (empty at this stage) champagne glasses on the table. My wife was absolutely ecstatic!! I told both Abbey and the darling barman who came and filled our champagne glasses that they had made my wife's night, seeing as how I hadn't bought her flowers myself. Abbey kept checking on us to make sure we were happy with everything. This wasn't the end of how far they went. Later on in the evening, the barman presented my wife with a beautifully boxed wine set and said she had won a prize. We still have no idea why, but we felt really special. Anyway, it gets even better! We didn't take the 2 bottles of wine out of the box until we got home and as I did so, I noticed a card in the box. I said to my wife "What's this?". She said she didn't know. I thought it would be a "thanks for dining with us" type thing, but no, it's a voucher for an Ultimate tasting experience for two at Hungerford Hill Estate, which includes a mini-degustation of Hungerford Hill wines matched to bite-sized dishes by award winning two-hatted, Muse Restaurant! Amazing! All this from a country pub! We were absolutely blown away by just how far they went above and beyond to look after us. Thanks Abbey and all the staff at Pedens Hotel. You made our night so special and memorable! ❤️❤️❤️

Staff were lovely. 2 of the 5 meals were a little small but I guess that’s the economy of today’s society. The food was lovely though and it was reasonably priced so I guess overall it was a good dining experience.

We love Pedens. Great service - lovely staff always. Nice food, easy atmosphere. Would love to see a VG main option.

Service and staff were awesome. Everyone was super friendly. Food was fast and tasted great. Will definitely be back

A regular visitor, the food is always consistent and restaurant is clean and of a good vibe

Great Location for dinner before a show at Cessnock performing Arts Theatre.

Food was very good, and given how busy it was service was good, staff were friendly, competent and helpful, and we didn’t have to wait too long for meals. But it was a painfully noisy environment - actually really uncomfortable for us older guests. (Which is what most patrons were). Lots of people, and the music still playing in the restaurant area. (And the bar ran out of wine glasses! )

Loved the rotolo - it was delicious - but in comparison to other meals of similar price, the quantity was light on.

Women serving had amazing customer service went above and beyond couldn’t fault her!

The staff were great but the food was pretty ordinary. I had the Peden’s burger and chips. It had no flavour and too much salt on the chips. My husband had the chicken snitzel which he said was ok but the gravy was tasteless and the salad was very bland and ordinary.

Fantastic dinner, extremely hot night, 40deg when we arrived. Staff extremely busy but did it all with a smile Well done everyone
