Meals in the bistro were great, large portions, The Parma's are well worth it. The Barra was cooked perfectly. Staff were terrific and super helpful as always.
Deby Cunningham
Lots of people. Staff friendly and very professional 👌 I had grilled barramundi with steamed vegetables and the food was cooked to perfection. The fish was the best I have tasted for a long time at a club venue. Well Done everyone 👏

Last Monday we celebrated our 64th wedding anniversary by having lunch at the Highland Club and we were extremely pleased we did. Our meal was well presented and left nothing to be desired the staff were most helpful and courteous and bent over backwards to make our day special.
Frank & Rosemary Wilson
Lovely venue with friendly welcoming staff. We went on Tuesday evening, which is Parma/schnitzel night. The chicken schnitzel chip and salad was delicious, fresh and a huge serving. Highly recommend.
Sharon Dicker
Visiting friends in the area, we had a bus pick us up and drop us home, the driver was so nice, polite and helpful. Dinner was great, had the special and it was delicious, everyone ate their food and there was a number of rooms for entertainment. There are also gluten free menu options.
