Dig into a deliciously seasonal meal, washed down with a refreshing local brew and a comfy chill out in one of the many sumptuous seating areas in the bar and dining areas, the perfect treat for tired feet after a day’s hiking around local Box Hill. We love to meet your furry four-legged friends too and the treat jar is always stocked! Well behaved dogs are very welcome in our bar, courtyard and a number of our bedrooms. Please let us know if you are bringing your four legged friend along so we can reserve you a table within a dog friendly area. Our bar and hidden courtyard is dog-friendly, as are a number of our bedrooms.
