Braybrook

About the restaurant

The Braybrook Hotel is situated on Ballarat Rd in Braybrook and has recently undergone an extensive renovation, engaging all sections of the hotel creating a fresh and modern look, while also retaining a link to its rich history from the mid 1800’s. Only 20 minutes from the Melbourne CBD the Braybrook Hotel has plenty of off street parking and offers a range of award winning facilities. The first Braybrook Hotel is thought to have been erected around 1854, possibly in response to the demand from travellers to the gold fields. However, the earliest rate record found for this building was in 1863-4 when Charles Niven Young was the licensee and John Lang was the owner. These days the hotel is home to our ‘world famous’ all you can eat buffet with brand new Kids Play Area, multiple function rooms for all of your private and corporate needs, a state of the art TAB, modern gaming facilities, Sports Bar and extensive drive-thru Bottleshop that is open 7 days per week until late.

About the restaurant

Eat. Drink. Chill. Ms Peacock is all about celebrating those three beautiful words. Tasty food, awesome bevvies and all in an amazing setting.

Tucked inside the stunning heritage-listed Eynesbury Homestead, a sprawling bluestone family home built in the 1800s, Ms Peacock is a modern family-friendly restaurant with an Italian inspired menu that has something to tickle everyone’s tastebuds. Gourmet wood fire oven pizzas, mouthwatering pastas, wood oven and rotisserie meat dishes, popular pub classics, kids’ favourites, and to-die-for desserts have diners spoilt for choice.

A must-try is head chef Gagan’s famous Prosciutto De San Daniele pizza that saw him crowned Australia’s number one entrant in Italy’s fiercely contested 2022 World Pizza Championship.

Great service from all staff at the restaurant. I highly recommend the high tea for any special occasion, or just for something to do over the weekend. It is a great value for the amount of food and drinks that you get also.
