Supper

Menu — What's on the Plate Before the Cards?

A short menu that changes with what the Western Downs around Dalby has ready that week, served from seven until closing.

Tonight's Plates

What's Actually Coming Out of the Kitchen?

What decides the menu each week? Mostly what's come off the district's farms — grain and cattle country stretches out around Dalby in every direction.

Is there a set menu, or does it change? It changes weekly, though a handful of plates rarely leave the board for long.

What's there to drink besides tea? Coffee, lemonade and sparkling water, poured from the kitchen through to the last hand of the night.

Rows of chips stacked on a card table, ready before the doors open for the evening.

Beef and Barley Pie

Slow-cooked Western Downs beef under a shortcrust lid.

Pumpkin Soup

Roasted pumpkin, cream, and warm damper on the side.

Anzac Biscuits

Baked fresh, served with tea to close the evening.

Booking Supper

How Does Booking Dinner Actually Work?

Supper is reserved by calling the house or writing through the contact page — the card room keeps its list apart from it.

The kitchen takes its last order well before closing; after that, only the card room stays open.

Eating here doesn't put anyone at a card table automatically — that gets arranged on its own list, same evening or not.

Supper is paid at the table before heading through to the card room; there's no shared tab between the two.
