The Stanley Pub: Where History Meets Culinary Delights

It’s a destination for local and visiting foodies alike, offering exceptional hospitality and a rich history. The newly opened Stanley Produce Store, an integral part of the pub, beckons with local produce, wines, and delightful pre-prepared meals.

I worked with Sally and the team at the Stanley Pub when it had just opened about 12 months ago and a LOT has changed since – I was so eager to return and capture the beauty of the newly upgraded beer garden, the charming Stanley Produce Store, and the overall allure of this destination in such a quaint township.
