About Willunga Hotel

Known locally as the Middle Pub, this 1870s haunt serves massive schnitzels, cold local ales, and thoughtful dietary plates across historic rooms and an easygoing beer garden. Grab a seat under the veranda while the kids dig into mini wheelie bins packed with toys on the lawn. Regulars come hungry for the schnitties piled high with garlic seafood toppings or classic gravies, alongside coeliac-safe pastas and vegan starters that ensure everyone eats well. Meals finish right with a cold session ale or warm sticky date pudding by the fire.

  • Hearty Schnitzels & Toppings: Sizable beef and chicken cuts arrive loaded with toppings like king neptune prawns or traditional gravy alongside chips and fresh sides.
  • Family & Dog-Friendly Garden: An open lawn lets young kids play with dedicated toy bins within easy sight of veranda dining tables.
  • Dietary-Inclusive Regional Menu: An accommodating kitchen provides dedicated coeliac-safe pasta and gluten-free seafood alongside vegan starters.

  • Preserved 1870s Heritage Pub Setting

    Preserved 1870s architectural rooms and cosy open fireplace settings provide a genuine historic regional pub character.

    Love it how the old buildings have been preserved back from 1870's and have been used to form different sections of the current hotel.
