About The Royal Hotel

The Royal Hotel pulls off a rare feat for regional Victoria—serving classic country pub grub where nearly the entire menu is safely gluten-free. Diners making the trek along Emily Street discover golden chicken parmas, crispy chips, and savory rissoles with mash prepared with strict coeliac awareness. Outside, a clean beer garden with a wood fire stove offers a relaxed gathering point, while road-trippers take advantage of flat grassy grounds out back for overnight stays. Meals finish big on nostalgic comfort, right down to the flaky fish fillets and warm desserts.

  • Coeliac-Safe Pub Classics: Nearly the entire kitchen lineup—from chicken parmigiana to crispy chips—is prepared with strict coeliac care.
  • Free RV Overnight Rest: Travellers can access flat grassy grounds situated behind the pub for convenient overnight stops.
  • Traditional Country Comfort: Generous plates of rissoles with mash, flakey blue grenadier, and cold beer served in an unpretentious beer garden.
