I visited The Hayes restaurant and bar with my family and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and affordability of the food. The menu had a variety of options, from hand stretched pizzas, burgers to salads and Salt and pepper squid. We ordered the Share Platter and Pizza with fries and it was juicy and satisfying. The portion size was generous and the price was reasonable. The restaurant also had a nice outdoor seating area with a view and a kids play area. The only downside was the service, which was slow and they didn't come to the table. There was a small waiting time to get our orders and the staff seemed uninterested in our needs. We had to ask for plates and they smiled and thanked us. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, but the service left a lot to be desired. I would recommend The Hayes for a casual and tasty meal, but don’t expect too much from the staff.

Went down south twice this year and visited both times. This is local Lake Hayes pub and restaurant and they've got arguebly one of the best gravy sauce I ever had. The Thursday cheap steak was classic and faultless. Best of all their service were top notch. Would definitely visit this place everytime when I visit Qtown & Lake Hayes.

Nachos
We visited The Hayes several times when staying nearby, and loved it!
Staff are welcoming, very friendly and efficient. Great selection of wine and beer, and the food that we tried was delicious! My partner loved his lamb shanks and mash and the salmon croquettes were fabulous!
On a Friday night it was bustling and busy, but service and food remained fantastic.
Definitely recommend this great little local spot if you’re around Lake Hayes estate ☺️ We will return in the future.

We stopped here for a couple of quick espressos and an app - tried the salmon croquettes, which were delicious and came with a yummy lemony herb sauce. The staff was friendly and quick to help. A great spot for a quick snack or meal, and they have ample patio seating!
Update - returned here for breakfast as it was close to our stay and they have generously sized breakfast options. Service was quick and friendly!

We ordered the fish and chips and ribeye, which we enjoyed. The fish was exceptional. The pizza could have been better. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was chill and homely.

We enjoyed the most delicious lunch - the meal was generous and it felt like good value for the price. We had the corn fritters with avocado and bacon, a hawaiian pizza, and the pulled pork sandwich. There was a kids menu, colouring pages and a little playground.
The service was great within a lovely relaxed atmosphere.

It is a local restaurant bar so don’t expect high end dinning. We dropped in for a small lunch. The staff were very good but it was not clear whether we were to order at the table or at the counter. Some tables seemed to receive table service and others not. There is counter food that is not on the menu so if you go take a look, and you may as well order while you are at the counter. The food was very good for the type of food it is. We had a pulled pork sandwich; fried and a sausage roll; and corn fritter. It has a courtyard with a shade cloth over most of it. The road frontage has a deck with tables and umbrellas. The bar is at one end of the road frontage.

Very nice neighbourhood cafe bistro that serves cafe food and drinks like Frozen Magarita which was served half the glass, smaller portions than most places. Fish & Chips was yummy along with the Salt & Pepper Squid Rings. Parking can be crowded on weekends though.
