WANTED: SATURDAY NIGHT STAFF – THE VAN!

Looking for a Saturday night job? We’ve got one for you!

Is it busy? YES.
Is it stressful sometimes? ABSOLUTELY.
Will you question your life choices halfway through the night? POSSIBLY.

But we’ve got a great crew, plenty of laughs, and the best part comes AFTER the shift…

STAFFIES & THE BOSS’S HOMEMADE PIZZA!

And the pizzas are actually pretty good. Is it because we’re exhausted and would eat absolutely anything by that point? Or does the boss genuinely have a hidden talent?

The jury is still out.

If you’re reliable, enjoy a fast-paced atmosphere, can have a laugh and love being part of a team, we’d love to hear from you!

The Vandenberg Hotel, Forbes
Saturday night shifts
Message us to apply!

Come for the job. Stay for the crew. Judge the pizza for yourself.

RODEO TAKEOVER – A CHANGE OF PLANS, BUT NOT A CHANGE OF ENERGY!

Unfortunately, PAROLE DENIED won’t be able to join us tonight, but we’re keeping the party going in style!

Taking over the decks instead is DJ CAREW, bringing his Melbourne energy to The Vandenberg for one absolute mayhem of a Rodeo Saturday night! 🎧💥

The rodeo might finish, but the party certainly won’t.

DJ CAREW – LIVE FROM 9:30PM
Big beats, big atmosphere and one crazy night!

Dust off those boots, round up your crew and get ready to turn it up!

SADDLE UP. THEN TURN UP.

NO ENTRY AFTER MIDNIGH!!!

A LITTLE REMINDER FOR TONIGHT…

Our Friday Chef’s Specials are on this evening at The Vandenberg.

Pan-Seared Snapper |
Filet Mignon & King Prawns |

Thoughtfully prepared, elegantly presented, and made for a Friday evening worth lingering over. 🥂

Join us for dinner tonight and experience a little touch of fine dining at The Vandenberg.

See you at The VAN 😎

The road may be closed, but we’re OPEN!

“I’M SO HUNGRY I COULD EAT A WHOLE HORSE…”

Whoa. Wrong animal.
COW. We meant cow!

Conveniently, it’s STEAK NIGHT AT THE VAN, and judging by the size of our T-Bone, we may have taken the saying a little too seriously.

🥩 250g Rump — $20
🥩 350g Scotch Fillet — $27.50
🥩 500g T-Bone — $35

Chips & salad or mash & veggies — because apparently putting vegetables next to half a kilo of steak makes it a balanced meal.

🍽️ Dine in — stretchy pants recommended.
🥡 Takeaway — because eating a 500g T-Bone alone on the couch is between you and your television.

Come hungry. Leave questioning your life choices.

Tonight at The Vandenberg Hotel.

FORBES RODEO WEEKEND IS ABOUT TO GET A WHOLE LOT WILDER…

This Saturday, once the dust settles at the rodeo, the night will only be getting started.

PAROLE DENIED are coming to The Vandenberg for a full-blown RODEO TAKEOVER.

Two DJs. ONE CRAZY NIGHT.
9:30PM ’til late.
Dancing ability optional. Bad decisions… highly possible.

So dust off the boots, round up the crew and save some energy for Saturday night.

SADDLE UP. THEN TURN UP.

Because apparently riding bulls during the day wasn’t enough entertainment for Forbes.

A TOUCH OF FRANCE, THIS FRIDAY AT THE VANDENBERG.

This Friday, our Chef’s Specials take inspiration from the elegance of French dining — refined flavours, seasonal produce and beautifully composed plates.

Pan-Seared Snapper
Delicately paired with spring pea purée, asparagus, baby peas, zucchini ribbons and a silky lemon beurre blanc.

Fillet Mignon & King Prawns
Tender fillet mignon accompanied by five grilled king prawns, cumin carrot purée, seasonal greens and lemon herb butter.

A little French influence, a little indulgence, and the perfect excuse to settle in for dinner and a glass of w**e.

Join us for dinner this Friday at The Vandenberg Hotel.

Bookings recommended.

See you at The VAN 🤎

A LITTLE TASTE OF LEBANON HAS ARRIVED AT THE VAN!

A delicious little beginning to your lunch & dining experience!

See you at The VAN 🖤💛

THE VAN HAS GOT SOME NEW BALLS!

Two pool tables have officially joined the family, and they're looking pretty good alongside our fresh new décor. Not that we're showing off or anything…

Are the tables level? Probably not. Will you notice after a $10 pint? Absolutely not.

And because we love a good excuse to avoid doing anything productive on a Sunday…

FREE POOL EVERY SUNDAY!

$10 PINTS!

Bring your mates, line up your shot and blame the table when you miss. We've already prepared that excuse for you.

New look. More pool. Same old Van. 🖤💛

WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN THE KITCHEN.

The schnitzels are getting hammered, the chef's under pressure, and someone's taken $10 off every single one of them.

IT'S TUESDAY SCHNITZEL NIGHT AT THE VAN!

$10 OFF ALL SCHNITZELS

Bring the family, bring your mates, or order takeaway and avoid sharing altogether. We don't judge.

The only thing getting smashed tonight should be your schnitty.
