Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: The Dempsey Cookhouse and Bar offers a generally positive dining experience, with many reviewers highlighting the quality of the food and attentive service.

We see consistent praise for dishes like the Crispy Salmon Sushi, noted for its texture and flavour, and the Pepper Crusted Wagyu Beef Tenderloin, which is described as tender and well-cooked.

Portions are often generous, making it suitable for families or those with larger appetites.

However, some dishes, like the Fried Crackling Chicken, receive mixed reviews, with the breast meat sometimes being less tender and juicy than the thigh.

We also note comments on the atmosphere, which can be loud due to poor acoustics, and a lack of distinct identity given its shared building.

Despite these points, the overall consensus points to a pleasant and often unhurried meal.

We'd recommend it for a special occasion, particularly if you're looking for well-executed dishes like the wagyu or salmon, but be prepared for a potentially lively environment.

Great brunch set menu and ambience! The Guacamole Chips had a unique tang to them, and the Crispy Mac and Cheese was rich but not overpowering. Great balance in the flavours! Space is beautiful too
