About Mona Castle Hotel

Tucked into the quiet backstreets of Seddon, Mona Castle Hotel pairs historic pub charm with serious counter dining and icy cold Carlton Draught. Regulars pile in for generous cuts of porterhouse flanked by rocket and rich Béarnaise sauce, while the vegetarian mushroom steak draws its own following. Wednesday steak specials churn out massive, juicy cuts with rapid service, leaving room for a rich French-style chocolate mousse. Multiple rooms offer distinct retreats—from the front bar to the sunny beer garden—before the energy picks up after 9pm into a lively, music-pumping crowd.

  • Elevated Counter Classics: Generous cuts of porterhouse with Béarnaise sauce alongside a popular vegetarian mushroom steak.
  • Multi-Room Backstreet Layout: Tucked into a residential backstreet featuring a traditional front bar, dining rooms, and beer garden.
  • Wednesday Steak Specials: Midweek nights deliver massive, juicy steaks with rapid table service.
  • Late-Night Atmosphere: The dining room shifts after 9pm into a bustling, music-pumping bar crowd.

Before you head over

Practical tips on reservations, special nights, and parking to help you plan your visit.

  • Book a Table in Advance

    The dining room and bar fill up quickly on busy evenings with standing room only in the front bar, so reserve ahead to secure a spot for dinner.

  • Expect Bustling Mid-Week Specials

    If you are visiting for popular mid-week specials like Wednesday steak night, arrive prepared for high kitchen volumes, which can occasionally impact cooking temperatures.

  • Plan for Parking Options

    The pub maintains a small adjacent car park, but spots fill fast, so plan on using nearby residential street parking during peak hours.
