The Warburton Hotel Wesburn - Bar & Bistro (previously Sam Knott Hotel)

My partner and I went this Saturday night that just went, and they were being absolutely thrashed. Restaurant basically full, kitchen and bar under pump and so many walk ins. We often go to the West as it’s one of our favourite pubs, and they nail it everytime. The staff were working above and beyond Saturday night, and as a fellow hospo person, it’s tough to watch but so great to see the team ace it. Such a great meal, even though it was a wait, and staff that genuinely cared about us. You all did amazing, even when there were people who were not understanding. Be proud of the establishment and staff you have, and keep it up.

What a nice location for a dinner! I only had a dessert though but the chocolate brownie didn’t disappoint me!

Meal fantastic as it turned up unlike my daughter and son inlaws wich after 50 didn't turn up and when she requested a refund as they had to leave the owner, Andrew, got abusive with them and then abused me because of their inability to complete a refund or supply the meal. The staff then stared at the rest of our party and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. Also the fact that he stood over yelling when he had me separated from my husband and he couldn't let it go. Such an abusive hotel owner.

Great pub food for a reasonable price. Not a lot on the menu but for chicken Parma lovers there are plenty of options. Their fish and chips were crispy and yum as was their meat lovers Parma. A family friendly environment.

After waiting over an hour for our meals, we found meal to be extremely over cooked and couldn't eat it. Complained to owner, no apology no refund, he even tasted our meal and agreed it wasn't satisfactory. We were then avoided and ignored when we tried to talk to him about it. Absolutely disgusted in how we were treated

Great place for a meal or for a larger family catch up.
Great atmosphere with friendly staff.

Great friendly pub with warm atmosphere and open fire. Food was tasty/fresh and filling and the drinks cold, can't ask for much more. Will be back, thanks Rory

Most of the Yarra Valley pubs have gone yuppy - not so The West - great traditional country pub service. Plentiful food, drinks not a rip off. Shame the publican has lost the right to call it the Sam Knott (true or myth) as it was always a great story when we took our o'seas and interstate visitors there for a Sunday lunch.

The food was fantastic and the service was just as good. They were so friendly and the food was so yummy even I kids said they loved their food so much they want to come here everyday

My son and his wife took us out for a beautiful meal, large servings and friendly service. Keep up the good work.

Food was great, $20 Parma's on a Wednesday night. Bar was friendly and helpful and a family crowd in the dining area.

I love this hotel. The menu is simple but tasty and the pub is beautiful. Great friendly staff, highly recommend

Great pub meal!
Fish n chips crunchie and delicious
Chicken snitzel also delicious
Hop hen Craft beers are a highlight!
Staff are lovely and friendly
Highly recommend!

Went at a pretty quiet time due to the storms while up there, but staff were friendly and food was yum. Mixed Grill Parma was tasty and a generous portion.
Awesome ambience inside the pub, loved eating by the fire. Will go back when I’m in the area next!

With lack of a better word "Perfect". The food was absolutely amazing, medium rare scotch fillet, cooked to perfection, outstanding customer service, cozy environment, fantastic menu choice and the bar is stocked with all the right stuff.

Had some lunch with a large group after taking the kids to Mt Donna Buang. Staff were friendly and accommodating and clearly well used to handling families. Good was great and a few craft selections on tap. Nice experience.

Very nice country pub with an impressive beer garden with mountain views. The food is great traditional pub meals. Always friendly service every time we have visited. Gets fairly packed on the weekends!

My friends and I were disappointed to wait an hour and fifteen minutes for our meals tonight. We would have appreciated being told to expect this when ordering the meals or receiving an explanation when we finally received our meals.

Was looking forward to sitting by the fire and enjoying a characteristic pub, the fires were going but the dining hall was full so little chance feeling warmth of fire but rather felt the cold hard glare of the ladies toilet. The numbers of diners was obviously too much for the kitchen staff as we waited well over an hour for our food, half the specials were not available and no dessert options left by the time we got to it. Management need to review bookings and either reduce numbers or stagger arrivals or at least offer some bread and butter to keep people going if they are expected to wait a significant time for their food.

No jugs of soft drink what pubs doesn't sell jugs of soft drinks never had that before ordered kids chicken tenders and chip got a snit cut up and chips instead chips cold like they where sitting there longer than the chicken staff should have said they didn't have tenders i find this place very hit and miss never the same
