Proper pub food, local wines and beers, open fires and a sprawling beer garden. The Plough Inn dates back to 1864,it is claimed Ned Kelly had ridden his horse down the main hall of the pub,while that may just be a tale,Ned did work in Tarrawingee and it is said that he and his gang would have a drink or two and would sit on a knotted wooden bench which is still here today(ask to see Neds bench!

The weekend is just around the corner!

Friday dinner and Sunday lunch are already fully booked in the bistro (thank you!). There are a handful of tables available for Saturday lunch and dinner.

Our kitchen serves lunch from 12pm–2pm and dinner from 5pm–8pm.

Outside of those hours, we’re launching our new weekend bar menu - perfect if you’re dropping in for a cold local beer, a glass of regional wine, or a quick snack to eat by the fire.

Settle in, catch up with friends, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon at the pub.

We look forward to seeing you!

A new tradition is coming to The Plough Inn.

Four times a year, we'll be opening the grounds of the historic inn to a curated collection of local makers, growers, producers and artisans from across Victoria's High Country.

Welcome to THE PLOUGH INN SEASONAL MARKETS.

Set beneath the 160-year-old wisteria and within the grounds of the property, each market will bring together a curated collection of makers, growers, artisans and producers showcasing everything from fresh produce and flowers to homewares and handcrafted goods.

Designed as a relaxed afternoon and evening experience, our Seasonal Markets are an invitation to wander the stalls, enjoy a glass of local wine or ale, catch up with friends and settle in for an afternoon at the pub.

We'll be hosting four markets each year:

WINTER • SPRING • SUMMER • AUTUMN

Dates will be finalised shortly.

We are now inviting applications from stallholders who create exceptional products and would like to be part of this exciting new tradition.

One month ago, we opened the doors to The Plough Inn under new ownership.

Since then, it has been nothing short of extraordinary.

For three of our first four weeks, we have been booked out on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday lunches. We have hosted 5th birthday celebrations, 60th birthdays, 80th birthdays, tables for one, and tables for thirty. We have welcomed locals, travellers, families, friends and visitors from all corners of Victoria and interstate.

As we pause to reflect on our first month, we have spent a lot of time thinking about what is most important.

For us, it comes down to three simple things: good food, good service and genuine hospitality.

We care deeply about our staff, and we care deeply about every person who walks through our doors. As custodians of this historic pub, our goal is simple - to create the best possible experience every time you visit.

With that in mind, we have made the strategic decision to permanently trade Thursday through Sunday for both lunch and dinner service. This will allow our team to focus on consistency, quality and delivering the experience we want The Plough to be known for.

We are also excited to announce that from 25th June, our new Coffee Window will be open seven days a week from 6:30am until 10:30am.

Grab a barista-made coffee, toasted sandwich, egg and bacon roll or pastry on your way through. Online pre-ordering will be available, making it even easier to pick up and go.

If you have a little more time, pull up a seat at our new picnic tables out the front, watch the world go by and enjoy a slower start to your day.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us during our first month. We are only just getting started.

Warm regards,

Peta & Scotty

HEADING TO THE HIGH COUNTRY THIS LONG WEEKEND?

With the ski season officially kicking off, The Plough makes for an easy stop along the way.

If you are towing a caravan, camper or trailer, our drive-in, drive-out off-street parking means you can pull in, stretch the legs, enjoy a proper pub lunch or dinner, and be back on the road in no time.

Located just 250m off the Great Alpine Road between Wangaratta and Beechworth, we are perfectly positioned for travellers heading to Bright, Mount Hotham, Falls Creek and beyond.

The fire will be roaring, the beer cold, and the kitchen serving hearty country pub favourites all weekend.

Bookings strongly recommended. Online via www.theploughinn.com.au or 5719 2722.

SATURDAY DINNER & SUNDAY LUNCH UPDATE

With a cold and wet weekend on the way, we are now completely booked inside for Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch.

As winter starts to settle into the High Country and snow traffic starts making its way through the region, we strongly recommend booking ahead for the coming weeks.

The fire will be crackling, the pies hot and hearty, and the beer ice cold.

We look forward to welcoming you in!

A few new additions have landed on the menu this week at The Plough Inn.

Chicken Liver Pâté served with cornichons and toasted sourdough, alongside our Pie of the Day - this week, Chicken & Leek with golden puff pastry, creamy mash and peas. Proper pub food for the colder weather rolling into the High Country.

Last week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights were booked out, so if you are planning on joining us this week, we strongly recommend booking ahead online or calling 5719 2722.

As the nights get colder, we would much rather have you settled into the warmth of the Bistro or near the fire in the Bar than tucked away in the Long Room.
