Pub dining$

Chef Rob Kabboord,formerly ofthree-hatted Quay in Sydney,joined the well-oiled team from Daylesford’s popularCliffy’s Emporium last spring to take on this grand two-storey hotel in the heart of town.

Expect bar snacks like Dutch bitterballen and high-level but honest pub classics such as a juicy club sandwich,crumbed lamb brains,or Scotch fillet steak frites with creamy tarragon dressing. The old Beppe woodfire oven is churning out pizzas you can pick up via the drive-through.

Now all forest green and dark timber panelling,you can dine in the cafe-curtained bistro,drink a pint of Carlton Draught or Guinness in the expanded public bar,or get takeaway.
