    Have been here many times and always found food and staff lovely. This time we were disappointed in the lunch food and service. Staff are pleasant but service wasn’t up to standards of when it is busy. Will go again but maybe a different day.

    We count not have been more pleased with our experience at Whitby. We had a large group of 22-25 people for a post wedding breakfast and right from the start, Morgan was so helpful and accommodating. We had a lot of elderly people in attendance and the staff were able to accommodate our request for low tables. The food was exceptional as always. I have to say you’ll find the best chilli eggs in all of Victoria at Whitby Bendigo. Everything about our experience was exceptional including the amazing staff plus the food.

    Andy and his team were absolutely exceptional! I have a few dietary restrictions, and Andy, the staff and the chef went out of their way to make me feel so welcome, without ever making me feel like an inconvenience. We were celebrating my birthday, and they made sure I felt truly special! The food was delicious, the location divine, and the ambience beautiful. Such genuine warmth and hospitality made for a wonderful birthday lunch. I’ll definitely be back!

    We went for breakfast on Sunday 13th September. Staff attentive, happy, food was delicious big plates. Music level too loud, would prefer not so loud was hard to hear when trying to have a conversation. It wouldn’t stop us coming back we would probably sit outside where I believe the music is not so loud.
