The Parkerville Tavern

Summer or winter, we love a drive out to the Parkerville Tavern, in the Perth Hills. Winter brings the smell of rain in the gum trees, roaring wood fires and hearty food, summer is the perfect time for enjoying a lazy lunch in the immense, shady beer garden. Steeped in history, the “Parky” has a tale or two to tell!

The historical Parkerville Tavern retains many of its character and period features. Inside there’s a more formal dining room and cosy open fireplaces.

Outside, the large, shady beer garden is popular year-round (thanks to the heated conservatory in winter). There’s plenty of tables, but it’s helpful to arrive early, as they soon fill up. Service is friendly. Either order food and drinks via the QR code found on each table, or grab your table number and order at the bar. The Parkerville Tavern has a big menu – parmis, burgers, BLTs, fish n chips, salad and more. There’s a dedicated lunch menu for seniors Monday to Friday too. On this menu there’s a choice of 8 meals for just $19 and a seniors group special too. A 2 course seniors set menu includes main, dessert and tea or coffee, for $27. The day we were there, there was a group of the Red Hat ladies dining in the garden.

One the main menu you’ll find all the Parky pub favourites. We enjoyed a buttermilk chicken burger.

Plus, a delicious pork belly dish. Rolled pork belly is served with cauliflower puree, buttered cabbage and bacon, broccolini, picked apple, red wine gravy and crisp crackle. Both were generous portions and came out of the kitchen not long after ordering.

If you have grandkids in tow, you’ll be happy to hear that the Parky’s playground has plenty to keep them occupied for hours. also find a shaded sand pit, cubby house, boat and play equipment for the grandkids.

There are some sheep, ducks and George the Emu living at the Parky, which the little ones love. Grandkids had a good choice of dishes on the kids menu too, which are good sized serves for children.

The Parkerville Tavern is perfect for a weekend drive up to the Perth Hills. There’s plenty of parking, much of which is on gravel surfaces. The pub food is good quality – tasty, unpretentious and good value. Be sure to enjoy a lunch at the Parky for a big dose of history and a warm welcome!
