About The George Harcourt Inn

The George Harcourt Inn is a pub on Gold Creek Road in Nicholls, dating from 1980 and taking its name from George Harcourt, a landowner of the district. It pours a wide range of tap beers from the UK and elsewhere and serves a classic pub menu. The pub hosts weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, work functions and family catch-ups, as well as celebration of life services. A functions manager handles each booking, so you deal with one person from enquiry to the day. The rear courtyard is the main spot for private functions of various sizes. It mixes low, high and standing tables, and has a private stage, a fountain, and gas heaters and wood fires on request. For smaller functions, the Queen Pergola is a closed-in room attached to the pub, fitted with tall tables and stools, roof heaters and curtains that drop down in cold weather. The marquee in the front beer garden is a heated tented area with mixed seating and two televisions. Function catering is built around platters, including a farm platter of wings, skewers and mini pies, seafood with prawns and oysters, cheese, antipasto, and vegan and coeliac options. A pavlova platter and fruit platter cover dessert. Inside there is an open fire at one end of the pub, and the front entrance is accessible for wheelchairs, with an accessible bathroom.
