About Hunter and Hound Pub

Hunter and Hound delivers an unpretentious slice of the UK in South Melbourne, pairing honest pub grub with cold pints and bar games. Expats and locals gather here for the benchmark Sunday roast—generous cuts of tender beef alongside towering Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, and rich gravy. Order a pint of Guinness at the wood, split a bowl of cauliflower cheese or pigs in blankets, and head back to the games room for a round of pool and darts. Behind the counter, imported bags of Pickled Onion Monster Munch round out the comforts of a proper British local.

  • Traditional Sunday Roast: Loaded plates with Yorkshire puddings, tender beef, rich gravy, and add-ons like cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets.
  • Classic Bar Games: A laid-back setup featuring order-at-the-bar service, a dedicated pool table, and darts for easy post-work unwinding.
