Appin Hotel

As a refuelling stop for the family on the move the Appin Hotel might tick some of your boxes. Firstly, it has a kids' playground and enclosed beer garden, and the blackboard menu is crammed with typical Aussie pub grub, from the steak sandwich to the roast of the day. The tasty beer-battered flathead fillets and the excellent chicken schnitzel both come with a mass of chips so good that they will satisfy the pickiest chip-eater. You can even get fresh oysters on the weekend. A dedicated wine list featuring varietals from Southern Highlands Wines at Sutton Forest is a nice touch.
