Pubs and Clubs: The hidden gems of the countryside

EVERY country pub has a story to tell. These historic mainstays were probably one of the first buildings to be constructed in a new town, and they are still key landmarks.

The casual dining scene in pubs and clubs of the region is fantastic, and there has never been a better time to plan a day out around a visit to a country pub.

The meals are big on value, and the building can be magnificent.
It’s been a tough 12 months for hospitality operators across Victoria, and local pubs and clubs need your support.

So book a lunch or dinner, hit the road and make a day of it.
Cheers!
