Essendon is a friendly club in beautiful surroundings, open for dining in the light and airy modern Courtyard Kitchen restaurant, with breakfast served daily from 8am and the lunch menu from 12 noon. Children and well-behaved dogs are welcome.
Our Main Menu includes Club favourites such as the Essendon burger, Dirty Fries and our infamous Chicken Katsu Curry as well as sandwiches, salads and delicious desserts.

Our popular Sunday Roast Lunches are always served in our 16th century Grand Barn with white linen tablecloths and full table service, the perfect space for family or social gatherings where we can accommodate large groups on round tables that seat up to twelve.
Sunday menus change weekly so watch our social media for upcoming choices.

We hope to see you soon!

    We had a private room which was perfect for our group. Staff were attentive and thorough making sure everything was catered for from room facilities; temperature, lighting to food and drink service. They were professional, polite and friendly.

    We had Sunday Lunch to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, which was also at Essendon Country Club. Everything about our lunch was perfect. The staff recognised us immediately, and they were so polite and attentive. The food was exceptional and the ambience was perfect. We love Essendon and will be back regularly.

    This was our first time visiting. The food was nice the decor was quite basic. Sadly the restaurant did not overlook the golf course so nothing to look at. Staff were pleasant. Had to ask for table to be cleared though.
