Wheat, Wine & Whisky

Wheat, Wine and Whisky brings a cosy, contemporary spin to the traditional gastropub in the heart of Collingwood. It is the sort of local where music sets the tone from day to night, the drinks list is carefully curated, and the team makes everyone feel like a regular on their first visit.

The kitchen leans into chef-inspired comfort. Small plates set an easy tone - think cheesy garlic bread pulled apart at the table and salt and pepper calamari with a tangy lemon aioli. Burgers get the star treatment: the Two Boets Burger layers bourbon BBQ, bacon and cheese with caramelised onions, cos lettuce and tomato, while fried chicken arrives with tangy cheese and coleslaw, crisp and deeply satisfying.

Pub classics are elevated without losing their soul. There is a generous chicken parma with Napoli sauce, ham and mozzarella, a pan-fried chicken schnitzel in panko and parmesan, and golden fish 'n chips served with tartare sauce. To finish, few can resist sticky date pudding with whisky caramel or chocolate brownies with vanilla ice cream.

Swing by for a day or night out, and stay for the good times - it is barley, bottle and a splash of spirit, all under one roof.
