About The Willunga Hotel

The Willunga Hotel, known around town as the Middle Pub, sits on High Street in Willunga in the McLaren Vale wine region. The State Heritage-listed stone building joins three older buildings into one pub with two bars, a restaurant and a big beer garden. For functions, the pub uses its undercover pergola behind the lounge bar. It seats up to 30, has blinds that roll down in cooler weather, gas heaters for winter and fans for summer. The pergola suits birthdays, family lunches and cocktail parties. A TV on the wall can be linked to a USB or DVD, so hosts can run a slideshow or video during the party. The stone-walled restaurant seats up to 65 and takes larger groups at its tables. Meals are ordered and served at the table, and the kitchen adjusts dishes for guests who eat vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or dairy-free. Groups can eat from the regular menu or work out a tailored package with the hotel, either seated dining or finger food served cocktail-style. The wine list draws on McLaren Vale producers, and there is a long cocktail and gin list. Beyond the pergola, the beer garden covers more than 200 square metres, with three fairy-lit gazebos that each fit up to 16 people, a lawn and a small secret garden.
