Oatley Hotel

Gourmet pizzas at the Oatley include intriguing combinations such as oyster with bacon and Worcestershire, a hat-tip to the pub’s origins catering to oyster farmers last century. Choosing from the menu is as tricky as choosing an eating spot in the sprawling 1920s pub, but the soulful live music makes the huge outdoor terrace a top choice. A mezze platter for two is generous, with toasty crisp arancini balls, flat bread triangles and dips, mini kebabs and tender, tasty calamari barely leaving room for large mains. But a huge pollo gamberi chicken fillet in creamy brandy sauce and just right chicken caesar are delightful.
