Naughtons Hotel

Pub dining$

Cheerful staff herald this handsome 151-year-old pub, where locals pack out the dining room (especially on steak night). They’re seeking well-executed comfort food: porterhouse cooked over coals, coq au vin, house-made salami and fancy potato cakes, all underscored by a dedication to small producers such as Barongarook Pork.
