The Bendigo Hotel has unveiled a completely refreshed kitchen and elevated pub food menu.
The iconic Collingwood venue, known for its legendary heavy live music heritage, has given its culinary offering a major overhaul. The new menu features elevated comfort food designed to pair perfectly with The Mill Brewery’s tap selection and late-night entertainment schedule.
The refreshed kitchen at Bendigo Hotel focuses on crowd-pleasing classics executed with precision. Standout offerings include crispy schnitzels available with chicken or eggplant options, double smash burgers loaded with special sauces, and substantial vegetarian dishes that don’t compromise on flavour. The menu caters to both afternoon diners and late-night revellers seeking quality food until 3am on weekends.

The venue’s transformation under The Mill Brewery ownership continues to honour its 150-year history while modernising the experience. The front bar maintains its cosy timber-panelled aesthetic, complemented by the new dining room that doubles as a bandroom for evening performances.
Executive decisions around the kitchen upgrade reflect the venue’s commitment to serving the local community beyond just drinks and music. The elevated pub food approach means diners can expect restaurant-quality execution of familiar favourites, from the buffalo-style chicken wings to the substantial tortilla salad with multiple protein options.
Food service operates alongside the venue’s established weekly programming, including discounted burger nights on Wednesdays, premium steakhouse offerings on Thursdays, and schnitzel specials every Sunday. The timing aligns perfectly with happy hour specials and live music events throughout the week.
