$20 Gnocchi Night — Monday
Nov 4, 2024 - Mar 31, 2025
Gnocc-gnocc. Who's there? Our newest Monday night food special — $20 gnocchi! The weather is getting warmer, the sun is hanging around that bit later and we're ready to gnocc off! Get in each and every Monday for a rotating line-up of flavour-packed gnocchi. Pair it with a $10 glass of house wine, and you’ve got the perfect start to the week! Tell your mates, come hungry and get ready to gnocc back a glass (or two) and dive into a bowl of pillowy perfection.
$20 Parma Night — Wednesday
Multiple dates available
Satisfy those mid-week munchies with our weekly parma night! Every Wednesday from 4pm you can grab a parma and pot of beer or glass of wine for only 20 clams. No meat? No problem. We’ve got you covered with an eggplant parma that’ll have you *chef’s kiss* all the way home.
$26 Roast — Sunday
Multiple dates available
If there's one thing that we want on a Sunday, it's a decent meal to bring us back to life. Every Sunday, roll into roast heaven with our rotating roast special for just $26. Whether it’s beefy, porky, chooky or veggie, we’re serving it up hot, tender and juicy – the only tough thing here is choosing what to drink with it! Bring your mates, bring your date, heck, bring your mum. Sundays are all about roasts done right, from 12pm 'til they’re gone.

Was my brothers going away and we had the upstairs room next to the bar which was amazing. Food was great & fast! One problem we had was one of the bartenders who was on a power trip .. I would’ve had 4 drinks in 3 hours and when I went to the bar was told “you should drink some water I don’t want to cut you off” actually thought he was joking at first But he was being dead serious and continued on his little rant Now I suffer from a lisp and it gets pretty bad after a few drinks which I told him … He didn’t like that and continued on another rant. It was so bad to the point other staff members were coming up to me and apologising for what had happened and tell me he’s done this quite a lot in the past and they’ve had complaints about him. At this point corner hotel you need to deal with power trip egotistical staff like this as it’s a bad image for a rather great venue.

On a quieter Sunday afternoon our table of 10 experienced disappointingly variable food service. Two “Corner Chicken Parmas” ordered at 2:15pm took 30-40 minutes and when served were drier than usual - it appeared every had been forgotten and left under food warmers. Conversely, another only slightly later order for the same Corner Chicken Parma item was out 10 minutes and was a fresher and more generous serve. Aside from this, the 4 Pines Japanese Style Lager is a highlight and keeps our group of 10 coming back week after week, with great friendly and efficient bar staff in the main bar upstairs.

It was a great sunny day for lunch on the rooftop. Fish and chips were delicious and everyone else enjoyed their mains. Service was spot on and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
