Linden & Rye

Castle Hill · pub & bistro

Supper,
a roast,
and a reply.

Linden & Rye is a neighbourhood pub with a short bistro menu. The kitchen closes when the last table is happy, not when a clock says so.

Lovely room and the steak was delicious. We waited a while for mains on a Friday, but Priya was attentive and kept us updated.

Matched to a sample bistro booking for Helen Marsh. A person still checks that before a reply goes up.

Tonight

A short board, cooked to order.

Order a couple of things. Tell us about allergies at the table. The tags on a concept menu are not a safety check.

Full menu

This week

What’s on.

Thursday · 7pm

Trivia

Public bar. Teams of up to six. No buy-in and nothing to win but the table.

Friday · from 8pm

Acoustic

One local player in the Rye bar. The bistro keeps serving.

Sunday · from 12

Roast

Beef or mushroom. Book if you want a table by the window.

After the meal

Every guest gets the same ask.

The card on the table and the note on the receipt open one page. It does not ask for a star first, and it does not offer anything in return. Happy or not, the next step is an honest review.

The Linden Room

Up to 40

Seated lunch or dinner. Sample menus from $55 a head, written so a person can still change them.

The Rye bar

Up to 20

A semi-private end of the bar for a weeknight. Drinks are on consumption.
