Rosedale Hotel

My in-laws stayed here for 2 night we found the owners rude and hostile. I would not recommend staying here

Friendly happy people Huge meals, I honestly could not eat it all, too much on my plate I like lemon squash and that's what I got in a chilled glass Surroundings very family orientated but that means children, singles, couples and families all age groups welcomedMy girlfriends and I had a fab time there

We drove through Rosedale on the way back to Melbourne from Metung. We were hungry and came across the Rosedale Hotel - an old style pub in this tiny little town. Behind the bar was Effie, a charming old Greek lady who was in charge for the day. We asked her if we could have something to eat and she gave us a list of delicious items - most made from food grown in her garden. We settled on pumpkin soup (home-grown and home-made), chips and a couple of drinks. We only had $25 but she said "no worries - that's OK". The food was sublime - I can't describe the soup - paler than you would expect and not pureed but absolutely delicious. The chips had oregano and salt on them and were hand-cut. She showed us round her veggie garden and sent us on our way. It's brilliant. Make the detour. And say hello to Effie.

I have been enjoying the delicious home-style meals at this restaurant for 25 years now, as I make my way to Seaspray. I have witnessed many people pop in for a quick beer and end up staying for lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and I am already looking forward to my next visit for a quick beer.

The people at the restaurant were friendly and cheerful. The portions were huge, I couldn't finish it all because there was too much on my plate. I ordered a lemon squash and it was served in a chilled glass. The atmosphere was very family-friendly, with children, singles, couples, and families of all ages welcomed. My girlfriends and I had a fantastic time there.
