OWNED and operated by Paul, Emilia and Mitch Golding, The Railway Hotel in Murchison East was first built in 1880 and then rebuilt in the 1930s. It is a must-go to pub in the Goulburn Valley.
The Golding family have operated the hotel since August 2017, and a lot has happened in their three years.
“Our aim is to offer a family friendly atmosphere, cold
drinks, great food and live entertainment,” Paul Golding said.
However, this was put to a halt on March 23 this year. “It was announced on Sunday, March 22, that we would no longer be allowed to trade on premises,” Paul said.
“We had to change our business plan to accommodate the Coronavirus.
“Our cold drinks, great meals and family friendly service was and always will be key pillars to our business, but now we had to bring our business into your home.
“Doing meal and drink deliveries, seven days a week, from 9am–11pm helped keep us afloat in the unknown economy.
“We have survived with the support of our loyal customers, friends, family, and also with the help of funding though the State and Federal Governments.
“Now that we are allowed to re-open and cater 300 patrons at a time, we have booked our first Tribute Show in over a year!”
On Saturday, February 13, the Railway Hotel will host INXSIVE, The INXS Tribute Show Live & Loud from 8pm.
Tickets are on sale now at www.eventbrite.com.au for $25 or $30 at the door (numbers are limited).
“Some of the acts the Railway Hotel has had the opportunity of hosting are: Adam Brand, The Chantoozies, Mental As Anything supported by Business As Usual – which was an awesome day for all – unfortunately, Greedy Smith died on December 2 2019, just two weeks after his great performance,” Paul said.
“On January 18 this year we had Kiss Thiss! A tribute to Paul, Gene, Peter & Ace – another great night at The East! Beers flowing, music pumping, people dancing & singing. “February 23, Wilbur Wilde & The Trouble Makers was a
great Sunday ’sesh with friends, family, food and drink & heaps
of entertainment!
“This year we will be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, resuming trade on Sunday, December 27 from 10am–2pm for the bar, bottleshop and TAB. The kitchen re-opens on Monday, December 28.
“Bar, bottle shop, TAB and kitchen open for seven days, from Monday, December 28 to Sunday, January 3. Normal trading hours resume on Monday, January 4.”
