About The Edinburgh Castle Hotel

A holdout of classic north-side pub culture, The Edinburgh Castle Hotel delivers cold pours and honest grill work with zero fuss. Kedron regulars head straight for the bistro menu—specifically Chef Sav’s steaks, pulled off the heat dead-on medium-rare alongside smooth mash. Up front, two pool tables click through the evening while screens broadcast the footy.

  • Precision-Cooked Steaks: Chef Sav earns steady praise from diners for cuts seared accurately to order and paired with smooth mashed potatoes.
  • Traditional Public Bar: A dedicated public bar outfitted with sports screens and two billiard tables creates an easy space to unwind over cold pints.
  • Community Raffles & Poker: Hosts community traditions like Wednesday and Saturday APL poker tournaments alongside weekend club meat tray raffles.

  • Unpretentious sports viewing hub

    A casual front bar atmosphere surrounded by television screens makes catching the match with friends effortless.

    Plenty of TVs in the public bar to watch the footy which is the whole point in my opinion.

Before you head over

Essential advice on ordering from the grill, tracking buzzer meals, and catching weekly pub traditions—book your table now to secure the best seats in the house.

  • Stick to the Grill and Steaks

    Diners consistently praise Chef Sav and the kitchen for accurately temped steaks and creamy mash, while off-grill items like seafood have received mixed reviews. Zero in on the classic steak cuts for the most reliable dining experience.

  • Monitor Buzzer Collection

    Pub meals operate via buzzer collection, but guests in the sports bar or function areas have occasionally experienced missed alerts leading to cooled food. Check the pass directly if your buzzer has not alerted after a reasonable wait.

  • Time Visits Around Event Schedules

    Weekly community draws have set schedules: Friday fishing club meat raffles kick off at 4:00 PM, Saturday social club trays start at 3:00 PM, and APL poker runs Wednesday and Saturday nights. Arrive ahead of time to find seating and easy parking.
