About The Farmers Arms Daylesford

This Daylesford heritage tavern trades predictable pub grub for serious culinary craft. Longtime patrons head straight for the wood fires—pairing local cask ales with duck sausages, char-grilled scotch fillet, and a light butcher’s lasagne. Portions arrive generous, sauces land with precision, and afternoon drinks drift out to the dog-friendly rear courtyard.

  • Elevated Pub Classics: A refined kitchen turn on tavern staples, turning out duck sausages, crisp schnitzel, and house-made lasagne.
  • Wood Fire Dining: Cosy heritage dining rooms warmed by open wood fires, built for cold-weather regional escapes.
  • Curated Taps & Regional Cellar: Independent craft beers from local breweries served alongside cask ales and boutique Victorian wines.
