Why you'll love The Eltham Hotel

  • Rich history dating back to the late nineteenth century
  • Relaxed and friendly environment perfect for an after work drink
  • Close proximity to Greensborough and Westfield Shoppingtown

First opened as Watson’s Hotel, a double-storeyed building constructed on the main Road frontage circa 1887 for Christopher Watson, the Eltham Hotel has social and historical significance as an important meeting place within the Little Eltham township. With additions and/or extensive rebuilding during the First World War period and later, The Eltham Hotel has been a local landmark on this site for more than a century. The building as it is today dates from the 1920s and/or later and was the meeting place in the 1950s of Eltham’s artists, intellectuals and (other) mud brick builders, who were developing a distinctive local lifestyle at that time. At The Eltham Hotel we offer two great spaces catering for different groups, sizes and budgets. Whether your next event is a birthday, engagemen

Certainly! Here’s a glowing review based on your experience: A Truly Magical Christmas Lunch at The Eltham Hotel We had the most wonderful Christmas lunch at The Eltham Hotel, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and festive, setting the perfect tone for the holiday season. The food was absolutely perfect—every dish was hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. It was clear that great care and attention went into each course, making for a truly memorable dining experience. The service was exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone was well taken care of. A special shout-out to Sanna, who made the occasion even more special with her warmth and hospitality. The cherry on top was the thoughtful gift for all the children, which added an extra touch of magic to the day. It was truly the most perfect Christmas lunch, filled with joy, laughter, and impeccable service. We left with full hearts (and full stomachs!) and can’t wait to return next year. Thank you, Eltham Hotel, for making our Christmas celebration so memorable! Feel free to adjust or add any personal touches!

I came here with a group of about 16 people. They had no trouble accommodating us as the place is rather spacious. There was plenty of car parking also on this Saturday afternoon. I had the fish and chips with a side of salad. The chips were done as I liked them and the two large pieces of fish were nice also. Salad and dressing were enjoyable. Staff were friendly and came to check several times to make sure all our orders had been fulfilled. As pubs go, it was well ventilated and there were no unpleasant odors.

Had dinner tonight in a group of 9. Food was delicious and very fresh. Great variety to choose from. Service was spot on by Ally, who was very attentive and friendly. Nice to go to a pub where you can hear each other talk without yelling. Will definitely be back.

A friend and I enjoyed a lovely lunch and great service today. We were well looked after by friendly staff, Karli and Montana. The venue was spacious and the table seating comfortable. Special mention must go to the beautiful Christmas decorations throughout the foyer and bistro and the fantastic, elegant Christmas trees. Merry Christmas to all 🎄🎄😊😊🥂🥂Y&H

Not many young people. Good food and prices. Good for gluten free (as "reduced"). Friendly staff. Sports bar is relaxed.
