Eat + Drink
Our Vision
At the heart of our recently restored pub is Pete’s vision — to celebrate local flavours and serve our community with every meal. That commitment has now been recognised twice, with The Bolt Inn named Best Restaurant and now Best Pub in the New England, 2025 — all before we’ve even hit our first birthday.
With years of experience working alongside chefs and supplying quality meat through Milly Hill Meat, Pete and Sal Strelitz are passionate about bringing top-quality, locally sourced ingredients to the table — creating dishes that showcase the best of the region and a true taste of country hospitality.
Kitchen Hours:
Main Menu - available seven days a week from 12pm to 2:30pm (lunch), and 5:30pm to 8:30pm (dinner).
Bar Menu - available seven days a week from 11am to 9pm.
