We visited Dungog for the first time yesterday for their annual Tea Party with a group of 30 Seniors & had booked to have lunch at the Dungog Trading Post. We were so happy with what this venue delivered. Lunch was amazing & the staff were incredible. Several of our regular passengers have called us this morning to let us know how much they enjoyed their lunch yesterday. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful lunch experience for our group of Seniors. We would love to come back again next September!

On a recommendation from a local shopkeeper, we had lunch at your business today We were thoroughly impressed by the staff, meal and coffee, all exceptional. The feel of the place was very homely with a mix of merchandise on display which was interesting. Not often do we really enjoy lunch like we did today as we always battle to find lovely wholesome food such as yours. Highly recommended.
