Crossroads Hotel: Pubs in Western Sydney
Big feed for the adults, a playground for the kids and gelato to finish. Crossroads Hotel in Casula has nailed the family pub formula, and it’s one of the easiest wins for a weekend lunch in South West Sydney.
This place has been pouring drinks since around 1833, when it opened as the Talbot Inn. Fast forward to now and it’s had a full renovation, with a bright open-plan bistro, a sports bar, a courtyard and a kids’ zone that makes the whole outing so much easier.
sweet treats and eats
The bistro and dining area is spacious, modern and made with families in mind. Guests can expect classic pub fare with a twist, including crispy Chicken Schnitzels with a variety of customisable toppings, juicy burgers like the iconic OZ Burger and Fried Karaage Chicken, and a dedicated kids’ menu featuring favourites like Fish & Chips, Spaghetti and a New York Minute Steak. Each kid’s meal also comes with a complimentary soft drink and colouring pack, making it a hit with both parents and little ones.
The standout addition? The brand-new Gelato Bar. That is paired perfectly with the adjoining playground, it’s quickly become the go-to combo for a fun and easy family day out or simply a sweet way to top off a hearty bistro meal.
SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN
Every school holiday, Crossroads Hotel comes to life with fun filled activities for kids of all ages. From hands on pizza making classes to exciting fire truck visits, the venue goes above and beyond to create memorable moments. It’s all part of Crossroads’ commitment to being a welcoming destination where families can relax, play, and enjoy quality time together no matter the age.
Parent tips
- Book ahead on weekends and school holidays. Walk-ins are welcome, but it gets busy.
- Ask for a table near the playground. Easy supervision means a more relaxed meal for you.
- Go early for lunch. The bistro opens at 11am, before the main rush.
- Parking is easy. There’s plenty of free on-site parking, and it’s right off the M5 and M7.
- Planning a party? Function spaces hold up to 200 guests, so kids’ birthdays and christenings are sorted.
- Save the gelato for last. Trust us, it’s the best bribe for finishing dinner.
