Commonwealth Hotel

Best Known For

Slow roasted lamb shoulder, field mushrooms, rocket, pesto, prosciutto crumb, mash potato and spiced Greek yoghurt.

A taste of Southern USA awaits diners at the Commonwealth Hotel on Union Street in Cooks Hill. This historic hotel built in 1882 is a Newcastle institution and its restaurant, The Commo, is a locally loved eatery serving gluten free and vegan fare in style, whether dining indoors among exposed brick and softly glowing wall lights, or alfresco in the beer garden where hanging ferns add a splash of happiness. Kick back with a cold brew in hand and chow down on a Hot Diggity Dawg chilli cheese hot dog, kimchi slaw, chilli jam and sesame; or salivate over a Viking pork cutlet, glazed in honey and char-grilled with pear, cabbage, walnuts and a sweet soy sauce. Finish sweetly with a dessert of chocolate laced sticky date pudding butterscotch sauce and English toffee ice cream.
