Wow what a transformation. Lovely relaxing atmosphere, great service & fabulous food, a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The pork belly & watercress salad was amazing.

I’ve driven by this hotel for a lifetime but never visited. Somehow it seemed like a manky kinda weird place or even haunted. But not these days.A local friend and me from the west, met up at #launchingplacehomehotel for several hours of catch up chit chat.I waited in the beer garden area until my friend arrived, then we headed indoors where it wasn’t so hot. Slumming it on a beautiful couch, billiard table nearby and the bar a few metres away, we settled in for an afternoon of catching up on the last 12 months.Starting with a G & T plus a LL&B our life debrief began.Then the munchies got us and my friend ordered salt and pepper calamari with aioli and lemon. Not being a fan of seafood, I was hesitant but gave it a try and very impressed with the texture and taste. Later, a bowl of chips with aioli again was the perfect snack to keep the big appetite we both had. The menu can cater for dietary requirements if you let the staff know.Notes: service was great and our dishes and empty glasses taken away quickly. Plenty of parking. Listen out for the motorbikes that come and go for a stopover. A band was playing in the beer garden with brief sets. Wheelchair accessible. Kid friendly. Food available for children.My only down side would be that the couch area had a “dank” smell which considering the age of the premises is not unusual but not great either.Recommend a visit for a refreshment, snack or meal when you are visiting the area.Thank you to all the staff for the lovely service and memorable experience.

Stopped in for a beer and a quick bite and ended up eating some really delicious food. We ordered the Black Muscles and Szechuan Tofu and were pleasantly surprised at how amazing the food was.If you judge a book by its cover, you're unlikely to stop here for a meal... Your loss! Whoever the chef is/was that night, they really know their stuff!That being said, the staff were all really friendly, the food came out really quick, the music was good & at a nice middle volume, and the outdoor seating was accommodating of us & our puppies.My only complaint" would be the lack of decent beers.Can't wait to go back again!Update:I would have tried over half the Home Hotel menu by now (and several from the previous menu)

All round the Launching Place Home Hotel was a very good experience. It has a very nice outdoor area that was heated in the cold evening, and several bar area rooms including live music. We were there for dinner, which was prompt and very good. Kids fish and chips could have done with some salad, but calamari rings and the expertly-cooked porterhouse went down a treat. Look forward to our next visit

The outside area has been redone and is amazing. We sat under the patio on a brisk Winter's day with our jackets and the heater for a great Covid-safe option and had a great time. We came at the end of a rush, so our meals were delayed, but before we could become antsy, the manager approached us about the delay to apologise and explain and sort it out. Our meals arrived soon after and were delicious - I had the bbq beef ribs special (if had cornbread included would have been my ideal meal). It's a great place for a family meal; I only fear it'll become so popular we won't be able to fit in as often as we like.

Have dined here twice over the last week. Food is so delicious and portion size is generous. The chef obviously cares about what he plates as you can see that thought, and love has been put into the menu and food preparation. The hotel itself is warm and friendly, plenty of sport on the many tv’s, with a great atmosphere. I will frequent here from now on.

Good old country pub renovated and turned into a really good place to eat and have a cold one.The food here is simply superb, the menu is extensive and staff are super friendly country folk who love to have a chat and a good laugh.A must visit if it's on your way around Warburton or just make a trip to here.

We've been meaning to try this place out for a while,and finally bit the bullet today. We were extremely blown away with the whole experience!The service was phenomenal from every single member of staff, and they were so lovely and accommodating of any requests we had. The ambience felt like your good old-fashioned country pub, which is exactly what you'd hope to find in a place like this. They have a wonderful range of beers and ciders on tap, which has absolutely made us ready to come back again soon. To top it all off, we had not planned on ordering any food, as we wanted to just make a quick stop over, but we're easily persuaded after seeing the menu. We had only ordered the daily special, however it was some of the best food we've had since moving to Melbourne a year ago. We will absolutely be back as soon as possible, and I cannot reccomend this place enough! I only wish we had come and visited sooner, as I cannot fault them on anything.
