About Kernot Food & Wine Store

Set amid rolling Gippsland hills, this converted country outpost pairs blistered wood-fired pizzas with cold pours and easygoing charm. Kitchen orders run continuously through the day—meaning late lunch or an early feed with kids never hits an afternoon shutdown. Regulars drop in for loaded Wednesday parmas or pull up a porch chair on Sunday arvo, when live bands set up near the wood fireplace while crisp local sauvignon blanc flows into generous glasses.

  • All-day kitchen service: Kitchen orders stay open throughout operating hours without midday split closures, suiting late arrivals and young families.
  • Wednesday parma nights: Midweek crowds pack the room for rotating parmigiana styles served with complimentary beer.
  • Weekend live music: Acoustic sets and local bands play over relaxed weekend afternoons beside the wood fireplace.

  • Nostalgic Atmosphere with Live Music

    Live acoustic performances paired with a crackling open fireplace create a warm, traditional Australian pub vibe for gatherings.

    there was live music at the time we were dining with wood burning in the fireplace; which created a very nostalgic atmosphere.
