St. Andrews Hotel

St Andrews Hotel is a great pub which caters particularly well for the crowd attending St Andrews Market - a hippy market set in lovely bush settings every

I hastened to get changed from my shorts into jeans and heels in the carpark prior to going in for a Saturday night dinner.

St. Andrews is a rural locality 36 km. north-east of Melbourne, between Kangaroo Ground and Kinglake. It was originally named Queenstown, a goldfield, in the area known as the Caledonia Diggings. By 1865 it was also known as St. Andrews, and the presence of large numbers of Scottish miners gave rise to both “Caledonia” and “St. Andrews”.Today it is fast becoming one of Victoria’s top live music venues, famous around Australia for attracting great Blues and Roots musicians to perform in the wonderful atmosphere that a huge open fire, no pokies and traditional pub hospitality can offer.St Andrews Pub has produced many CD’s of performances by some of Australia’s top musicians winning praise from reviewers and punters alike.The food is superb and always fresh, quick service and friendly staff. The place is wheelchair friendly, kid friendly and there is plenty of parking at the rear. Beware: this place can be absolutely rocking when there are gigs on - so you might have alot of fun!

This old fashioned pub with its added beer garden is plain, simple and no frills. The service is good and the meals reasonably priced. If you're not expecting the earth then this place will do for a casual meal.

Very attentive staff so tick for them, the meals however were uninteresting, Pork was the roast of the day, was hard and not easy to cut, no apple sauce, chips with a roast? and veges that needed a tad more steaming. Lemon pepper squid on a bed of chips with veges was cold, the tatar sauce have no idea what it was but it was tasteless. The cup of tea was lukewarm, but the latte was piping hot.Two points for staff only, wont be back for another meal
