Criterion Hotel Rochester

We were advised this was the best pub in town, well the 4 of use dined there last night and certainly weren’t disappointed, friendly & efficient service, great selection on the menu, the meals were all delicious, quite large and certainly good value, if you are visiting Rochester we throughly recommend this family hotel, you won’t be disappointed.

Such a layed back country pub, the meals here are fantastic, well priced, if we where staying another night I would return for dinner

A great little town pub. Very friendly staff and locals were very welcoming. Food was delicious. I had the steak with mushroom gravy. SOOOOOO yum. Atmosphere was very welcoming.

Great staff but meals have improved, wonderful rissoles for tea tonight.
The rebuild after the flood looks fantastic.

Orderd a med rare steak. Got a med rare steak. Could have cut it with the side of my fork. Just fantastic. Hats off to the chef

Brilliant country pub, great atmosphere and amazing beer garden.
Food was fantastic and very well priced. Loved the open mic (Last Sunday of the month). Can't wait to come back.

Fantastic pub, especially for those with Coeliac disease. They have a dedicated gluten free preparation area in their kitchen. My wife was able to have her first chicken parma at a pub in her lifetime, it was delicious and no more expensive than a normal one. We will definitely return to try more gf dishes. Great service, location and dog friendly beer garden too.

Didn't get a foot in the door. Had our little Maltese tsi tzu on a lead but it was the barman who was barking. DOGS IN THE BEER GARDEN. We weren't there to stay - were simply enquiring as to whether we could buy takeaway beer. Never again. Personally affronted. For all the barman knew my little man could have been a therapy dog. A small town with three pubs? Expect much better than this. From hereon in it is the ROCHESTER HOTEL for me.

Great service, they went above and beyond. I'll definitely be coming by again. Also $12 small serve Parma is great value. I'm a big guy and I struggled to finish it.

We love taking the grandkids to the skate park and then going to the cri for a late lunch or early tea.always a great meal whether it's a snack or a meal.awesome outdoor area with lots of space for the kids.we also had a big family group of 18 outside and it was great.

Half a star for the beer on tap. The food and atmosphere has definately changed with the new business owners. Sorry guys but not going back.

First time visit. Not only was the food great but the staff were a delight! Will definitely be back! Thanks!

Staying around Rochester on a holiday. Came across this pub found it to be very welcoming and friendly. Food was amazing and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend people to come here

Very friendly staff and service. Good quality pub style meals and generous serves. Try the Bandicoot Ale they have on tap. Brewed in Echuca and a mighty fine drop.

The great offer of a roast meal for $15 was sold out but we had a wonderful alternative with friendly service

Arny suggested we eat at the Cri.
The 3 meals were large and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was inviting.

The meals were beautiful a d big servings
I had home made rissoles, best I have had!
Hubby had scoth steak and he loves his steak
He said best cooked he had had

Also great prices
Definitely eat here again

While the food was good, our order was stuffed up & my other half has almost finished his meal before going to see what had happened to mine. People who has ordered after us were already eating their meals. Very poor.

Only ate at the restaurant. Called ahead to make sure they were open, scored an easy booking! Great little pub, easy to find, parking up and down the street. Awesome meals! Had the popcorn chicken, was awesome! Also the sweet potato fries are so delicious! Great place to sit with friends, have a meal and a beer.

It's an ok country pub, facilities are aged but gets the job done.
I paid $5 for a schooner of coke and $5 for a schooner of soda water which is ridiculous.
The beer was cold so that's a win I guess.
