About The Redesdale Hotel

Historic bluestone walls and open fires frame hearty butcher-quality steaks and generous country pub classics. Expect serious plates—dry-aged cuts cooked spot on, chicken parmas, and whole-breast schnitzels backed by local Victorian wines. Road-trippers pull up caravans for free overnight stays in the paddock, while dogs settle comfortably inside near the hearth beside resident Kelpie Max. Lunch unfolds under leafy verandah grapevines with house-made choc tops to finish.

  • Free Paddock Camping: Caravan road-trippers can park overnight in the adjoining paddock free of charge after dinner.
  • Indoor Dog-Friendly: Four-legged companions are warmly welcomed inside the bar area right beside the hearth.
  • Butcher-Quality Steaks & Classics: The kitchen turns out generous parmas and dry-aged steaks crafted with butcher-honed skill.

  • Free overnight paddock caravan camping

    Caravan travelers and road trippers can pull into the adjoining paddock for a complimentary overnight stay.

    Free camping in the paddock behind the pub makes this a very memorable Country Pub Camping experience.

  • Dog-friendly indoors and out

    Both the outdoor beer garden and the indoor bar by the fireplace welcome patron dogs warmly.

    best of all our dogs were welcomed with arms into the bar area in front of the fire.

  • Historic bluestone country atmosphere

    Historic bluestone architecture, wide vine-covered verandahs, and open hearths create an authentic country retreat.

    The large bluestone walls, corrugated roofing and a grape vine that is decades old stretching along the entire front and side verandah was a lovely place to have lunch.

  • Cosy warmth by the open fireplace

    Crackling indoor fireplaces offer genuine warmth and comfort after a long drive or cold afternoon.

    The atmosphere was warm and inviting with a cozy fire and relaxed setting.

Hearty, generous pub classics crafted with quality ingredients

  • Steak

    The steak was absolute perfection—flavoursome and cooked to a tee (we found out later the chef is a butcher, which explains a lot!).

  • Parma

    The Parma was spot on, and the kids declared their chicken the 'best ever.'

  • Beef Burger

    We ordered the risotto and steak sandwich off the specials menu as well as the beef burger and seafood spaghetti off the regular menu - outstanding!! The portion sizes were ENORMOUS.

  • Fish'n'Chips

    Guiness pie was superb and my wife's fish'n'chips were delicately battered and full of flavour.

    Patrons travelling in caravans or campervans can take advantage of free overnight paddock camping beside the pub; check in with staff upon arrival, as conditions can be soft and alternative parking across the road may be directed.
