The perfect Sunday in Perth according to Urban List includes a few sun-soaked cocktails, an allure of smoked meats and something to keep the kids entertained. Now, thanks to The Guildford Hotel’s newly revamped The Vaudeville Hall, this fuss-free fantasy is every local pub-lover’s weekend reality.
Nearing its 140th birthday, the heritage beauty and the beloved Guildford’ The Vaudeville Hall (otherwise known as The Hall) is the latest reno project to be unveiled.
Expanding the existing beer garden into the adjacent historic Vaudeville Theatre, this new hang-out spot is equipped with a fresh outdoor kitchen to house the hotel's smoker, a new charcoal grill, a dedicated kids’ play-ground area, and the perfect seating area so that you can comfortably sip your way through any social occasion.
With Winterville back for its 5th edition and running every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from now until 28th July, you are just in time to check out the new reno while cosying up with a scrumptious three-course feast and two interactive cocktails for just $99 a person. Did someone say, date night?
An Oldie But A Goody
Located in the heart of Guildford, The Guildford Hotel is a heritage-listed pub with a rich history stretching back to the good old days of carriages, candles, and phone-less fun. Built in 1885, this popular hangout space has always been at the centre of all things local life and community.
In 1898, publican and beloved local legend George Hiscox built the Vaudeville Theatre (now The Hall) to provide a space for all things performance. Whilst still hosting a spot of live music and entertainment, over the years, this beautiful building has evolved into the area’s preferred venue for a drink and catch-up.
Bottomless Bites And Beverages
Take your pick from the stunningly restored hall or the gorgeous beer garden and get ready to enjoy some of the best in the relaxed lunch and dinner game.
Featuring everything from pan fried golden ricotta gnocchi to beef brisket loaded fries, come hungry because we can guarantee you’ll be eating good. Because you always need something sweet to finish, you will find a stellar line-up of treats to perfectly top off your meal. The 100 Oreo Cheesecake is an absolute must.
Renowned for its in-house smoker and charcoal grill, ordering something straight from the smoked-meat department is a no-brainer.
Renowned for its in-house smoker and charcoal grill, ordering something straight from the smoked-meat department is a no-brainer. We recommend the Whole Damn Lot platter. Think 1kg of succulent smoked meat, tantalizingly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Pair this with a selection of seasonal sides bursting with flavour and experience a symphony of tastes and textures that will leave you wanting more.
No matter what you need to quench that thirst, The Hall's beer garden has also got you covered. From the best in local and Kiwi wines, beers on tap, and crazy cocktails for every style of sipper, you can rest easy with the guarantee that you will not go thirsty.
Be sure to make the most of their Monday to Thursday Happy Hour offering from 5pm-6pm and back that up with the best in local live music on Friday’s from 7pm. And for those of you embarking on Dry July, order a Non-Alcoholic Spicy Watermelon Margarita and prepare to have your mind blown.
If you consider yourself a bit of a BBQ master, stay tuned for the locals weekend offer to try one of the venue’s amazing pit master classes. Inclusive of a Little Creatures beer tasting be sure to RSVP a spot, as this wintery must-do is always a sell-out.
For The Little Ones
By the time you have ticked off a weekend of sport and pulling at all strings to entertain the kiddies, you will be well deserving of a drink. Thanks to the addition of the hotel’s Sunday kids entertainment series as well as a brand new playground, you can enjoy a moment of controlled chaos while the young ones make the most of some playtime in the sun.
For those cold and rainy days, order some chippies and head inside to The Hall to enjoy a family viewing of your favorite sports team on the large screen TVs. When 5 pm rolls around, hit up the kitchen for a heart-warming feed and head home for an early night before facing the week ahead.
