Pub News:

Closed for Renovations. Opening again end of October 2024.

Renovations: We are nearing the end of this year’s renovations. It’s taken quite some time as the beautiful old pub was rather neglected when we purchased it back in 2022. It really hadn’t had any serious upgrading since the 1980’s so she’s well overdue. We are now focusing on getting our new kitchen up and running, and will send out word when we know it will be completed.

For friends we haven’t yet met, we are snuggled in the majestic rift valley of Hinchinbrook, North Queensland, in the townlet of Long Pocket. An amazing place of natural beauty and green green fields. Nothing beats sitting on our veranda with a cold drink, looking out over our cane fields rolling out towards the stunning mountains as the afternoon breezes tumble in from the sea beyond.

We are an Australian company which chooses only to offer Australian owned beers and Australian made wines. We also sell spirits and liqueurs made in our own distillery, as well as those produced in Australia and further abroad. We specialise in smoked meats and local seafood.

We do not allow food or alcohol BYO.

We are not a standard hotel. If stunning scenery enjoyed with mouthwatering food and beverages isn’t the experience you are after, if you can’t live without Japanese owned XXXX or Great Northern, if you prefer daggy country pubs, or seedy pokie machines, then I’m sorry but we are just not right for you.

Takeaway Alcohol: Currently this is something we don’t offer but will in time.

Sport Games: Many have let me know that they are passionate about sport and it’s fantastic to watch it at the pub. We hear you. When we are up and running later this year we will definitely be rolling out the big screen for the big sport games! We are not a sports bar so you’ll never see sport on all the time but for the big games, hell yeah.
