Dining
Dining at Mount Gambier Hotel is all about great pub food, quality local produce and menus that make the most of what's in season.
Our Head Chef and kitchen team regularly update our menus with the seasons, sourcing much of our produce from businesses and producers throughout the Limestone Coast. Alongside our menus, you'll also find changing chef specials, giving the kitchen a chance to showcase something a little different.
Whether you're joining us for breakfast and morning coffee, a relaxed lunch, dinner with friends or a drink at the bar, the G serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, 365 days a year.
From the Josper Grill
Our Josper Grill has become a big part of dining at the G, bringing the distinctive flavour of charcoal and flame to steaks and other dishes from the grill.
Then there are our foot-long hanging skewers - choose from lamb or chicken, cooked over the Josper Grill and served hanging high above the table. They're a bit of theatre, but there's a seriously good feed behind it too.
Alongside the grill, you'll find the classic pub favourites, regularly changing chef specials and options catering for a range of dietary requirements.
A Taste of the Limestone Coast
A standout during the warmer months is our Southern Rock Lobster (crayfish), a true local delicacy available from October through to the end of May.
Kept in our live crayfish tank and handpicked to order, our crayfish dishes are incredibly popular and subject to availability. If you've got your heart set on one, we recommend calling ahead on (08) 8726 7000 to check availability.
Our local connection continues behind the bar, with Limestone Coast wines sitting alongside a broad selection of beers, wines and spirits.
