Reviews
The Old Fitz has a local feel about it and the staff are friendly and helpful. We came on a Sunday for their Sunday Roast which was either Pork, Chicken or a vegetarian. The price is quite high and when we got it, it was lukewarm. We did bring this up with the staff and they gave us a round of drinks which was appreciated. We tried the scotch egg as well which was ok. They have live jazz on a Sunday which on the day we came were great musicians. There is also a theatre out the back which hold some amazing plays. I really enjoy this venue but this isn’t the first time I have been disappointed with the food.
Popped in for lunch, as I knew of this pub, due to its history and its support for the arts.nQuintessential 19 century pub. Love the photographs of the walls. The food was great. Enjoyed sitting outside. Will return
According to Time Out Sydney, The Fitz comes in at #4 of the top 16 Sunday roasts in Sydney. Not sure what roasts were tried when the list was compiled, but the ones we had last Sunday were very bland.nnIt was extremely busy at the pub and even though the place was pumping, the bar staff did an amazing job. You could see they were run off their feet, but they were always smiling and welcoming.nnThe pub itself is really cool. Outside dining, tables in the main bar, sunny mezzanine level and a bistro upstairs. The Fitz Theatre is located here too but didn’t get to see that.nnThe roasts……nnThere were six of us for lunch, two had chicken and four had pork. All the roasts came out lukewarm at best and the serving sizes were ok... although each a different size. We all agreed that for the size, temperature and flavour, the roasts were not worth the $32/$33 we paid. It was like the kitchen were just trying to pump them out to keep up with the amount of orders coming through.nnI’d go back to The Fitz to try their standard pub menu but not for the Sunday roast. I don’t actually think it should be on the top 16 list, let alone at #4.
Fantastic traditional atmosphere with a great selection of beers and foods. The starters were exceptional. I had the scotch egg and shared the lamb scrumpet. The theatre downstairs had a famous Harold Pinter show which some attendees suggested was very personal and well performed but did not experience myself. The atmosphere then upped a gear when a very eclectic jazz band performed a set that was extremely enjoyable.nnGreat service and atmosphere and would highly recommend.
The Old Fitz is a very memorable mother's day venue. Live jazz music the band was amazing, excellent service and just a fantastic atmosphere overall. However beers are a overpriced as a schooner of Mountain Culture is $15.
