The double-story Georgian building which houses Paymasters restaurant was once the wharfinger's headquarters and then the paymaster's office for railway workers in historic Newcastle East. It was listed as an item of Regional Heritage Significance in 1987. The bricks were made by convicts and have been exposed in parts of the building. It is adjacent to the former Convict Lumber Yard which later became the Convict Stockade Site. The restaurant has a la carte and vegetarian menus and offers special weekend breakfasts. They cater for functions with shared plates, finger food and set menus. There is seating indoors and outside, overlooking the harbor.
