The Daylesford Hotel proudly sits in the centre of town, just after dusk with the lights on.

WELCOME to the “dh”

    PUBLIC BAR AND CASUAL DINING

    Wednesday - Sunday 12pm-10pm
    Tuesday 4pm-10pm (closed for lunch)

    The Public Bar is the lively heart of the hotel, where locals and visitors alike gather. The perfect spot for a pint after work, a pub meal with the family, or a spritz while catching up with friends. Cosy and warm in winter, air-conditioned and cool in summer. Order and pay at the counter, and our friendly team will take care of the rest.

    Prefer some fresh air? Enjoy your meal out in the beer garden or balcony, where you can soak up the sunshine or enjoy the sunset (weather permitting). It’s first come, first served, so no bookings - just good food, great drinks, and the kind of atmosphere that brings everyone together.
