About Morning Star Hotel

A restored heritage pub in Williamstown where traditional bar warmth meets an effortless outdoor family setup. Grab a stool around the 360-degree island counter beside an open wood fireplace, or head out back to the beer garden where a fenced play area with a cubby house and sandpit keeps younger kids occupied. Tables fill quickly with crisp chicken parmas, scotch eggs, and slow-braised beef brisket paired with local cold tap pours. On Sundays, patrons settle in early around the fire for hearty roasts flanked by a well-curated red wine list.

  • Enclosed Kids Play Garden: Fenced outdoor beer garden space equipped with a cubby house and sandpit to occupy children during group meals.
  • Heritage Walk-Around Bar & Fireplace: Central island bar allowing patrons to walk 360 degrees around, alongside a working wood fireplace.
  • Traditional Counter Classics: Classic pub plates featuring golden chicken parmas, scotch eggs, and Sunday roasts with solid wine pairings.
