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!

In 1861, a timber inn appeared at the edge of the goldfields track.

Travellers tied their horses out front, rested their boots and continued on toward the mountains.

This photograph captures those early years - horses hitched to the verandah, a covered wagon out front, men gathered beneath the porch and a small child standing in the dirt, looking up at the inn.

Before the brick walls that stand today. Before the bistro. The Plough began as a simple timber inn on the early routes linking the goldfields, farms and mountain tracks - a wayside stop for travellers heading to the High Country.

For more than 160 years, The Plough Inn has stood at the heart of Tarrawingee.

Generations of locals and travellers have walked through its doors.

And they still do today.

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
