    Our family always look forward to our dinners at Marlo Pub. The ambiance is fantastic, staff always friendly and food came out quickly. The fish and chips and the chicken Parma were fantastic. The kids steak and chips wasn’t enjoyed or the adult beef burger.

    My partner ordered the curry barra which she really enjoyed … thank you chef. I ordered the chicken snitz which was fried and was fair at best. Burnt on the outside, it was not a pleasant eating experience. I know pan fried is time consuming, but the outcome would have been so much better. I will order more wisely next time.

    The food was exceptional! Half serve of fish and chips was enough, fresh and very tasty! My partener had the seafood chowder and said it was delicious, plenty of fresh seafood!
