CRIB ROOM RESTAURANT

Breathe in fresh country air as you escape to Wallerawang to dine in comfort and style in Black Gold Motel’s “Crib Room Restaurant”. Boasting a rich history as a local public school, this venue set on 6 acres has been completely reimagined with a dedicated function and conference space, family-friendly dining area and entertainment precinct.

Drawing on the rich local mining history, we have tastefully decorated our venue with nods to this past. We have also named our hotel rooms and venues to reflect our local history. The crib room was traditionally the space where miners would take their meal break, and although our Crib Room Restaurant is far from this underground space, we hope it offers you the same comforting respite and nourishing food.

The local community and travellers alike have embraced the Crib Room Restaurant as their gathering place, and the consistent #1 Trip Advisor ranking is a testament to the hard work of our excellent chefs, and our welcoming wait staff.

Come into the Crib Room Restaurant, and meet our resident coal miner “Bob” Miller. Bob’s statue is dedicated to the hardworking coal miners from the local district, and from throughout the world, both past and present.

The Crib Room offers classic Australian casual dining with an edge, featuring a variety of appetising, wholesome dishes accompanied by personal, consistent service.

If you are searching for the perfect place for your pre-dinner or post-dinner drinks, then slip into the Lamp Room Lounge & Bar next door. Here you will find a well-stocked bar, with local wines, craft beers, and spirits. The large windows overlook the old school grounds, creating a relaxing atmosphere come summer or winter.
