Book NowAbout Mapleton Public House
Mapleton Public House redefines the classic hinterland watering hole with organic, paddock-to-plate cooking and valley views. The kitchen draws produce directly from the owners' farm down the road, crafting an inventive, frequently rotating spread. Regulars bypass standard counter meals for share plates like cheesy garlic bread with pecorino custard, or potato scallops glazed in honey and black pepper. Even pub staples get a fresh rethink—the chicken parmy arrives layered with prosciutto and a house-made sauce reminiscent of country baking. Inside, you will find no television screens to interrupt conversation, just acoustic music in the green room, local craft beers, and regional wines on the verandah. Service flows with genuine ease, often carried by staff who recall drink orders without writing them down, anchoring long lunches around share plates like the rib fillet for two.
- Paddock-to-Plate Dining: Seasonal ingredients sourced directly from the owners' nearby organic farm dictate an inventive, frequently shifting menu.
- Elevated Pub Classics: Standouts feature potato scallops drizzled with honey and cracked pepper alongside a chicken parmy layered with prosciutto.
- Screen-Free Atmosphere: Scenic coastal valley vistas, live acoustic sets in the green room, and zero television screens create an unplugged setting.
- Curated Regional Drinks: Thoughtful local craft beers on tap paired with regional wines suited for verandah dining.

Erin Peters Curated Set Menus and Scenic Verandah Dining
Multi-course tasting menus paired with boutique regional wines offer a sophisticated dining journey served within a scenic, relaxed country pub setting.
We ordered our set menu paired with wine from the beautiful Hunter Valley Vinden winery. We settled into our seats on the verandah overlooking the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Thomas Erben Warm, Attentive Hospitality
Staff provide attentive, heartfelt care without rehearsal, welcoming visitors into an unpretentious environment that values connection over commercial pub distractions.
Every staff member we encountered was warm, authentic and attentive without ever feeling rehearsed or over the top. There was a genuine sense that they cared about their guests and took pride in what they were doing.
Chantelle Alexandre Screen-Free Hinterland Atmosphere
Free from television screens, the historic public house emphasizes live acoustic music, scenic coastal vistas, and genuine conversation.
There aren't any TV's (thankfully), there's often someone playing live music in the green room, and the views over the Coast are magnificent. It's cosy.

Chicken Parmigiana
The chicken parma was absolutely delicious, slightly different to your classic pub parma, but in the best way.
Seaona B Potato Scallops
thank goodness he recommended the potato scallops as I don’t think I’ve ever had such an experience with a humble fried potato! Who would have thought to pair a perfectly cooked potato (soft as butter on the inside, super crispy yet not oily on the outside) with honey and pepper??? Genius!!
Erin Peters Baked Scallops
The Baked Scallops were a rich and cheesy delicacy. One each was enough as a starter - absolutely delicious and made us excited for what was to come
Erin Peters Cheesy Garlic Bread
I don't quite know where to start with the cheesy garlic bread… they had me at Pecorino Custard, so we had to try it and we were NOT disappointed. I’d go back for this dish alone!
