Peden’s Hotel

The food was amazing The bar service was not as good, I feel the young man was new so excused it however he didn't even know what a shandy was or the lemon, lime,and bitters tasted just like water Been other times and loved everything so will be back

We love this place! We didn't have to wait long to be seated, order and until our food was ready. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Such a convenient place to eat before seeing a show at the Cessnock Performing Arts Centre. This was our second time eating there. Just make sure you book a table as they get really busy.

3 of the hour meals were really good. One meal was to not have pepper due to an allergy and it came out with pepper. Plus it was to be the fish of the day, the advertised fish wasn’t available & offered flathead fillets. These were not nice at all. Cheaper frozen fish sold for the same price. Not ok.

Peden’s was so amazing. Loved the food and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I ordered fish of the day ,for ,$38 expected it to be fresh it was very over cooked and dried out had no sauce ,a smeeg of pea puree , potato were not crispy as said ,,they were boiled and pan fried,my friend ordered chicken stuffed with bacon and cheese no bacon ,no sauce ,very dry, broccoli was over cooked and very little , potato not crispy ,very small meal for $30, this is the second time we have been and both times dissatisfied,last time ordered steak ,with veggies , carrots were so hard pretty much raw ,and mash potato was terrible it was packet mas it was stuggy and brown in colour,how hard is it to make mash ,when you pay good money at least expect fresh mash.

very dry shnitzel with a poor excuse for a salad. chips were good though Thevwrong Tacos were bought out twice, 3rd time the order was correct but very ordinary

Booked a table for Adults and Kids, we were seated on the booths which worked out great for the Kids and Babies to sit and play at the table. Meals were a generous size and options for Vegetarians and Vegans which was great.

Your staff are very friendly and professional. Both bistro area and bar staff. Maybe some additional changes to the menu....some soups? We always look forward to dining at Peden's.

Too long waiting in the queue and getting our meal, subsequently dinner was rushed ,inspite of leaving 2 hours before the show. Having said that the meal;pork belly was a standout. Compliments to the chef x

Beautiful meals. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Will be back

Great every time we visit. Always go before a show at Performance, Arts, Culture Cessnock.

Great food quick service will be back in the future

First time there and will be back as the food and service was great and also the coffee and drinks.also.

Fabulous food amazing Took quite some time for food to arrive Feel everyone was doing their best but a 45+ minute wait was not great

Great food at a reasonable price! Band was terrific as well

Great food, great service. We always go here before seeing a show across the road. It never disappoints.

Overall a good meal and experience even if a little noisy but they are very busy.

Very good meals nice place will come again good value

We arrived early before the show at the performing arts, and had no problems. The 6 meals were all lovely especially my pork and pear. Staff are all friendly too, with quick service

It seems our order was forgotten, tables that arrived and ordered after us got their meals before us, when I enquired after waiting 30 minutes, it took 10 minutes for staff to let us know that that our meal would be another 5 minutes - turned out to be 15 minutes and by that time we didn't have time to eat all the meal as we were going to the concert at CPAC and it was starting. We had booked for 1 & 1/2 hours before start. Won't be going back.

We arrived at 6.15pm for dinner prior to the show at the Performance Theatre across the road . Unfortunately they were extremely busy our meal was not served by 7.20 pm so I had to go to the bistro counter and ask for takeaway containers for our meals ( still not even ready ) so had to just leave no meal starving all thru the show and a McDonalds Stop on the way home at 10.45 pm. Not happy and disappointed 😔

Food and dining excellent great service by all staff. We'll be back

Amazingly quick and friendly and lots of Gluten free options...we loved it all, many thanks.
