Bring Dad to his fav place - The Illa!

We’re looking after your main man with a Roast Special that will make Dad Swoon. Aptly named, Dad’s Roast its got House-Made Yorkie, Maple Glazed Carrots, Heaps of Roast Veggies and Gravy and a decent heaping of Lamb, topped off with a free bevvy* for $25.

And if you want extra brownie points, bring Dad in between 12pm-4pm so he can enjoy $6 local beers and wines. Cheers, Dad!

Bookings available through the website.

The best thing about a pub, is its locals!

Yesterday, we lost Frank. A dear old chap, that would spend his afternoons with us! Loved his KENO, and a nice cold Reschs or two.

We had just celebrated his 90th, by his favourite spot in the Public Bar.

We’ll miss this smiling face, around the place!

Forever a seat at the bar, Frank.🍻
