Great vegan pub fare!

A comfortable country pub with a whole vegan menu. I love the vegan lasagna and the vegan parma the most. Both come with chips and salad. The carrpt cake with ice cream makes for a tasty dessert after. So happy to have this option in a small country town. Staff are usually warm and friendly.

Pros: A separate vegan menu, Tasty pub fare, Comfy country pub vibes

Cons: Omni restaurant so serves meat, Bit on the pricey side like most pubs now

A few good options

There were a few good options, with a mix of vegan and a couple of vegetarian dishes.
I got the Parma which has a yummy veggie topping

Plenty of options

I appreciate that there’s plenty of options in such a small town, it was surprising to be honest. I tried the vegan lasagne and it was ok but not great. Great flavoured sauce and the tofu ricotta was great but I wasn’t a fan of the snow peas in the lasagne or the large chunks of either silver beet or spinach. But, that’s just a taste thing I suppose. A but odd though I thought. The chips were nice and the vegan aioli was really tasty.
Price is quite high for a pub meal - $30. Desserts are $12.
Overall, a good option for a small town and I’d would’ve been keen to try some other items on the menu if I was around longer.

Pros: Plenty of options

Cons: Pricey

Great parma

The vegan parma here is delicious! Definitely worth trying if you are in the area. They also offer a variety of vegan cakes and the occasional vegan special! The staff are friendly and relaxed about veganism, which is a refreshing change for a small country town. They have been known to run a vegan banquet day, with a range of tasty vegan dishes that are not usually on the menu, so keep your eye out for these!

Country pub food

Have a good selection for meals with a separate listing on the menu that is clearly marked.
The parma was good, but the aranchini balls lacked texture.

Pros: 6+ meals to choose from, Service is good

Friendly service and great vegan menu

Really happy with the wide selection. I had the arancini for a main and brownie with coconut ice cream for dessert. The food was great and staff very friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend!

(Rating limited to 4 stars by HappyCow as not exclusively veg. Not because I wasn't happy with our visit).

An oasis

This is my go-to for dinner options in the otherwise very limited options in Korumburra. They do eat in and take away. Tried everything on the vegan menu and the vegan parma is by far my fave.

Everything listed under vegetarian/vegan is vegan-friendly except for the ricotta pasta which is only vegetarian.

Pros: Vegan pub food!, Casual pub atmosphere, Great to bring visitors

Cons: Have tried everything!, Don't think they have separate fryers for vegans

Great to find a country pub with a good vegan menu

We’ve been wanting to try out the Austral’s vegan menu for a while as there are large signs advertising it outside the building. We weren’t disappointed - my schnitzel was one of the best pub meals I’ve ever had, and the dessert was yummy. My sister enjoyed her arancini balls. The person that served us was friendly and cheerful and the bistro itself (in a lovely old Federation building) is clean and beautifully restored.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, including desserts , Cheerful service , Nice atmosphere, sometimes with live music

Cons: The regular menu is very meat heavy
