Not a bit of pork belly in sight on this pub's menu, just good old-fashioned favourites cooked well and piled high. With great views over the Hunter River, the Junction Inn is a popular place for family gatherings. The fillet steak topped with the special creamy garlic, oyster and prawn sauce is cooked to perfection and the accompanying baby potato bake makes for a tasty alternative to mash. Make sure you're hungry if opting for the mixed grilled, as it comes with every bit of meat you can imagine topped with some grilled tomato and a tasty fried egg. Elastic-waisted pants a must if you're planning dessert.
