Mundaring Weir Hotel

Dropped in for Sunday lunch after a visit to the weir. Lots of shaded garden seating and a relaxed, family friendly vibe (and playground) makes it a good all rounder. Food is standard pub grub, but filling enough. Started to get busy by 1.30…people rolling in to listen to the band that was setting up and get a lamb roast sandwich, starting from 3pm.

Iconic hills pub and so popular with the motorcycle fraternity, it a good pit stop on a hills ride. Yes its old and rough around the edges, put that aside, and enjoy the step back in time. Love the old joint.

Hmmm… needs a bit of of a dust and polish and scrub up. Still completely in love with this iconic joint… But it needs a bit of love, if I am to be perfectly honest. Love you to the moon and back old girl, but pick up your game a bit old love xx

The place is dirty and the food is not good. I went on a hot day and the water cooler was empty, probably because it was left out since the week prior. I ordered the bread and dips, the bread was soggy and the dips tasted like they came out of a discount salad dressing jar. Nice location, but that’s it.

A magic old place — went here for a James Morrison concert and stayed in one of the onsite rooms.
Service here is interesting, go down stairs to order food and pick it up when it buzzes — they have been doing this for years and it’s not that painful. Food, well it’s pub grub, the pizzas are great.
As a concert venue — especially for this nights jazz, superb.
As a hotel, the rooms are clean, a little on the shabby side, but waking up to the early morning hills air and enjoying breakfast outside — isnt’ that what life is all about.
If you over look the service and the shabby side (the whole place is chipped and dented) and remember when in rome.

It’s not about the destination… it’s about the journey … (fortunately)
The roads to and from the Mundaring Weir Hotel are excellent for a sunny morning/​afternoon ride in the beautiful Perth climate… and no doubt you’ll be tempted to stop here for a cold one and maybe try some of the pub grub…
No doubt it is a historic building and has some great grounds… and they do put on some interesting live music (at a cost) … but as a pub/​restaurant …meh… most will find it has succumbed to the Perth Peril — Slow, indifferent service, Overpriced Beer and Underwhelming food quality.
The times that I have been forced to stop here because I am meeting someone or I’m out with a bunch of guys for a ride and someone thinks it is a good idea… coz they don’t know anywhere better…(or coz they have an expense account) … I keep wanting to like the place and get my hopes up… but come away disappointed and swearing I’ll never go back again…
These days if I have an option I’ll go 10 – 15 minutes up the road — through Mundaring to the little Parkerville Hotel … equally as old and historic (maybe more or less the same age?) but generally better food, cheaper drinks and plenty of indoor and outdoor tables as well as a nice park across the street .
Save your money … save your tastebuds … give it a miss … or try it and make your own mind up — maybe I got them on a bad day… OK couple of days… spread out over several years… but hey try it and post a review… I’d still like to like the place…

What a perfect spot. One of the last true country pubs left in the perth area and the crowds gather to delight in the old fashioned bar, the live music, the spit roast and everything else that comes along with this gem.
The spit roast on a Sunday is a treat and costs $ 12.50 for some meat, a bap, salad and choice of condiments. It will heat you up on a winters afternoon or provide soakage for your cold cider on a summers evening.
The food in the café is pretty good too if not a little pricey. I am surprised their drinks are not more expensive (please don’t change this) as due to their unique location they could probably charge as they pleased.
It is a popular spot with local bikers, familes, parrots and dogs alike. Sit on the grass watching the parrots eat leftover chips and spicy wedges while dogs roam around with their owners.
Great spot, no doubt there will be arguments over who does the driving.
