Axedale Tavern - Bendigo

The Veggieburger can be veganized. It was nice and the chips are delicious. Clear vegan options. Bad food the last two times. Kaltburger with old chips. Pizza for $21 with hardly anything. I wanted to say something and the manager was so rude. And said what I said was to say here. Then gave us more vegetables for pizza with butter on them and what looked like Phlegm. Never back! Great.

Returned for lunch and went with friends. Busier than previous which was great. Staff friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere. Plenty of places to sit or play pool. Great food selection and cold drinks. Food came out cooked as ordered and delicious. With the having the cafe, coffees are delicious. Highly recommended. Will return.

Dining around Bendigo seeking a very good menu, very well cooked, friendly staff and the best atmosphere by miles this is the place. Proper pub as thet used to be.

Had lunch here on a quiet day, which suits. Publican very friendly and helpful. Good menu selections. Lots of little nooks and crannies to sit at. This is a pub/cafe as they do coffees and cakes.What a great idea. One small complaint which is probably our fault we ordered an entree but it came out with the main. Next time we will definitely say entree, mains. Good size portions, fresh and tasty food. Cold drinks. Lovely fires and a great pool table for after lunch games. Plenty of parking out the back. This pub is awaiting its verandah replacement so don't be put off by the construction fence out front. We will definitely return and recommend this pub for lunch.

Recently I was returning from Bendigo after a business trip and was desperate for a coffee... many places just are not open later in the afternoon for coffee, but the Axedale Tavern was! After moving to this part of the state a couple of years ago I have had driven past this tavern on many occasions, but it always looked run down. In recent times, whatever had ailed it to cause the upgrades has been completed and now it looks quite inviting. Axedale sits on the side of the river and it's a very pretty small town, but there is a reason to stop here! This tavern not only has a pub area, but they have an area that they have made into a cafe type area and it's all really quite charming. It offers both inside and outside seating and carparking is to the back of the business and you can walk through. Customer service was outstanding. The only thing letting it down is the cost... the large takeaway coffee was more than $8... which is the highest I have paid for coffee ever.
