Soft. Warm. Deeply satisfying in a way that is difficult to put into words โ€” but impossible to forget after the first sip.

Crafted with Victory Brandy from our very own Hold Fast Distillery โ€” locally distilled, rich in character and poured with the kind of care that turns a drink into an experience.

The brandy brings warmth and depth from the very first sip. Then comes the almond โ€” smooth, nutty and impossibly velvety โ€” wrapping around everything like the best kind of winter evening. The finish is long, gentle and lingers in the best possible way. The kind of cocktail that makes you set it down slowly and just appreciate the moment.

This is not just a cocktail. This is the drink you settle into. The one that makes the fire feel warmer, the room feel cosier and the evening feel like it belongs entirely to you.

Your table is waiting. Your Velvet Almond Cloud is ready.

Sunday the 6th of September at Trooper's Rest is going to be one to remember.

A specially crafted Father's Day menu. A room full of family. Great food landing on the table. And the best excuse you need to gather everyone together and celebrate the man who deserves it most.

This is not just Sunday lunch. This is a proper celebration.

Fiery Seafood Marinara Mafaldine
Sticky Jack Daniel's BBQ Beef Short Rib
Father's Day Roast Pork

Bold. Indulgent. Made for a day this special.

And because Dad deserves to kick back and enjoy every single moment โ€”

Free beer for every Dad on the day. On us. Cheers to that.

Raise a glass. Pull up a chair. Make some noise for the man of the hour.

Book your table now โ€” Father's Day at Trooper's Rest fills fast and this is one celebration you do not want to miss out on.

He gave you everything. Give him this.

Meet the Troopers Nourish Bowl.

This is the kind of dish that makes you feel good before you even take the first bite. A bowl so colourful, so carefully composed and so full of life that it arrives at the table and immediately turns heads.

Trio-quinoa as the base โ€” nutty, hearty and deeply satisfying. Creamy hummus sitting alongside a bright, punchy Pico de Gallo that brings freshness and heat in equal measure. Crisp slaw. Smashed avocado rich and smooth. House pickled cabbage adding that sharp, tangy edge that ties everything together beautifully. Baby spinach tucked in with care. And a herb dressing that lifts the whole bowl with a clean, fragrant finish that lingers long after the last bite.

Every element chosen with intention. Every flavour earning its place.

Gluten free. Vegan. And completely, unapologetically delicious.

This is nourishment the way it should be โ€” food that is as good for you as it tastes. Food that proves eating well and eating beautifully are exactly the same thing.

Come to Trooper's Rest this week and try it for yourself.

Braidwood does this better than anywhere.

The mist comes first. Slow and silent, rolling in from the paddocks overnight and settling low across the fields like the land itself is still dreaming. Soft. Weightless. Turning the familiar landscape into something that belongs more to a painting than the real world.

Then the light arrives.

Pale at first โ€” barely a suggestion on the horizon. But it grows quietly and steadily until it catches the mist and turns it golden. The fields below glow with a warmth that has nothing to do with temperature. The grass โ€” impossibly green, heavy with morning dew โ€” stretches out in every direction under skies that shift from the softest pearl to the clearest, most breathtaking blue you have seen all week.

It is the kind of morning that makes you stand still. Just for a moment. Just to take it in.

The kind of morning that reminds you why this place is something special.

And when the cold starts to find its way through your jacket and the beauty of it all has settled somewhere deep in your chest โ€” you know exactly where to go.

Trooper's Rest.

Warm fires. Fresh coffee. A room that captures everything good about a Braidwood morning and holds it right there at your table.

Come in from the mist. Start your morning right.

The deep golden crust on a perfectly seared piece of meat. The vivid green of fresh herbs scattered just before the plate leaves the kitchen. The rich, glossy darkness of a slow-cooked jus pooling around tender protein. The bright burst of seasonal fruit on a board that makes everyone reach at the same time.

At Trooper's Rest, colour is not an accident.

It is a sign. A signal that what is on your plate was grown well, sourced carefully and prepared by hands that genuinely care about what they send out of the kitchen.

Every season brings its own palette. The deep oranges and earthy reds of autumn produce. The bright, vivid greens of spring vegetables just hitting their peak. The warm, golden tones of slow-cooked winter comfort food that fills the room with the kind of smell that pulls people in from the street.

Food that looks this good always tastes even better.

Because when colour, freshness and care all come together on one plate โ€” that is not just a meal. That is Trooper's Rest doing what it does best.

Come in. See it for yourself. Taste the difference.

Because Friday night is always better when the whole family is around the table.

At Trooper's Rest every Friday โ€” kids under 12 eat absolutely free with every adult main meal purchased.

No cooking. No dishes. No convincing anyone to eat their vegetables.

Just a warm welcoming room, great food landing on the table and that rare Friday night feeling of being completely present with the little ones who grow up way too fast.

Watch their faces light up. Listen to their stories from the week. Laugh a little louder than usual.

This is what Friday nights were always meant to be.

Bring the kids in. Friday is waiting.

The kind that arrives slowly and without apology.

Cool, crisp air that catches in your chest the moment you step outside. The kind of cold that is not uncomfortable โ€” just honest. A reminder that you are somewhere real. Somewhere that breathes.

The light comes in low and golden, spilling across the paddocks and catching the dew on the grass in a way that makes everything glitter just slightly. The hills in the distance sit quiet and still under a sky that shifts from the softest grey to the clearest, most impossible blue as the morning decides what it wants to be.

The town is unhurried at this hour.

A few cars along Wallace Street. A dog trotting beside its owner. The distant sound of birds already deep into their morning conversation โ€” completely unbothered, completely at home.

Braidwood in the morning is a gift.

The kind that reminds you why slowing down is not a luxury โ€” it is a necessity.

And to make your morning even more beautiful?

Come by Trooper's Rest.

Warm fires already going. Fresh coffee ready and waiting. A room that wraps around you the moment you walk in and makes the beautiful morning outside feel even better when you are looking at it through our windows with something warm in your hands.

Because the best mornings in Braidwood always end up here.

Come in. Let us make your day even more beautiful.
