The Cumberland, Smeaton

Good old fashioned pub grub with a local twist.. When my father came to visit me for my birthday with his classic motorcycle and side car, and asked where shall we go for lunch and a beer, I suggested the Cumberland Hotel. I was so glad we went here, that I came back a few days later with friends. We were their only bookings for the Monday night, yet they had the fire going in the bistro. The beer on tap was fresh and crisp, the meals home-style and service down to earth friendly. We loved that they used local produce on the menu, like the Creswick butcher's sausages, Tuki lamb chops, Phoenix olive oil, and their own chips made from local spuds. Cozy atmosphere, heritage decor, good old fashioned pub. Car clubs and bikers, make this pub a lunch stop on your next drive or ride!

Great food, cold beers and good old fashioned hospitality What more do you need? I just love the relaxed and inviting atmosphere that this old pub and the owners provide... Your options are endless: Have a game of pool, chill and relax in the beer garden, warm up by the open fire, join friends for a quick drink at the bar or have a real and wholesome meal in the dining room. I can highly recommend this gem of the goldfields one of the last real country pub around.

If you are looking for a country pub that has the atmosphere and delicious country style food the Cumberland is the place to go. Nearly Clunes has gone upmarket and pseudo foodie but the Cumberland retains all its country charm. You are always welcomed by the owners and if you walk away hungry from the table you are very hard to please. A great country pub with all the charm

Good old fashion pub and meals. Be a great winter spot with the open fire. A tad hot inside appears to have no cooling or wasn't operating but the beers icy cold.

The Smeaton Hotel is a warm friendly traditional Country Pub with great food and a lovely ambience. In the winter the cosy open fires make you feel at home. The hosts Amanda and Troy are helpful, friendly and welcoming. Love eating at the Smeaton! Highly recommended!
