Gulgong has managed to end up on the right side of the line when it comes to heritage versus twee and The Prince does much the same with a colonial-style dining room. The regular menu won't reinvent pub cuisine, but it's the specials that shine. A beef Wellington is a touch overdone but still tasty inside its crisp pastry shell, while a Bombay beef curry is the stuff of local legend, with some of the cockies requesting a text when it's on the menu. And it doesn't disappoint - meltingly good beef in a punchy curry sauce with fragrant rice to soak it all up.
