Middle Park Hotel

MIDDLE PARK

This welcoming pub nods to old English-style boozers. There’s a heritage-style facade, horseshoe bar and hotel upstairs for overnighters. But the menu brings you back to the present with kingfish ceviche and Wagyu tartare.

Northern Git

THORNBURY

From the outside, Northern Git might look like your average corner restaurant. But inside, it has all the offerings of a classic British pub. The Yorkshire-born owner-chef turns out pub classics like pork crackling, bubble and squeak, pies with mushy peas and gravy, and hearty Sunday roasts.

Saint James

MALVERN

With bubble and squeak and a fish-finger butty, this cafe is a Pom’s take on Melbourne brunch.

Robert Gordon Kitchen

PAKENHAM

A diner from the family that has been supplying tableware to some of Australia’s top restaurants for decades, just over an hour from the city.

The Lion & Wombat

ST KILDA

At this neighbourhood pub, enjoy traditional English fare – including Scotch eggs, fish finger sandwiches, and classic roasts – while sipping on a cocktail inspired by a cup of tea.
