Great food

Great pub. As expected has a great local drinks selection. The food was really good, my steak was a bit on the rarer side of where I ordered it, but that's no biggie for me. Couldn't fit dessert in on the night we ate, so came back the next night for dessert and a night cap. Will revisit for sure on our next trip to the Hunter.

The Blaxland Inn is in a central location of the Hunter Valley, on the main road leading to the centre of Pokolbin. It is housed in a country style house with inside dining and also space out front (covered). It is classified as Modern Australian, but could also be referred to as a steakhouse / bistro / Brasserie with homely meals from pastas to pork belly and steaks. The atmosphere is casual and the service super friendly and efficient. The manager Kylie served us, and was outstanding at her job. She recommend our wine and it was a quality drop. It is super busy and booked out for the evening, so if you plan to go, be sure to book for dinners. They offer three different steaks and we order the Rib eye 200g. Streaks come with a complimentary side dish (we chose the steamed veg) and sauce (we had mushroom). We also had a fresh salad with roasted pumpkin, beets and tomato as well as their incredible corn bread. Served as muffins, this was warm and had a nice sweet corn taste to it. Drink wise, there’s plenty of wines, beers and ciders on the list. If you’ve been on wine tours all day and you’re planning on a drink or two more, they’ve also got a courtesy bus, just be sure to book.

best steak and asparagus, top marks for food!

Amazing food, lovely service and friendly staff

The food and atmosphere were great. The staff is very friendly. The courtesy bus is a great addition. We had a little wait for our table and food but we could grab drinks from the bar while we waited. We had a very enjoyable night and would highly recommend going here. The steak and short ribs were cooked very well and tasted amazing.

Entree was spectacular! Made me very keen for mains. I got the steak medium unfortunately it was still blue and kicking. I told the waiter the steak was raw. They said they would get another. They came back with the same steak which was both overcooked and still raw in places with the same mushroom sauce which was now burnt. They didn't charge for the steak but I left disappointed due to this.
