What's happening at the Grand.

The front bar is where things get said first at the Grand Central — who won the meat raffle, what the chef is doing with the specials board, whether the taps have iced over yet. This is the written version: news from the pub, in the pub’s own words.

You’ll find what’s coming up on the calendar, what’s landed on the menu, the practical answers people ring up to ask — booking a big table, ordering for a group with a gluten-free guest, getting a feed home before it goes soft — and the odd story from behind the bar. If you drink here, eat here, or are thinking about stopping in on the way through Cobram, it’s all written for you.

Looking for the actual room? The front bar, the bistro and the dog-friendly beer garden are all on the pub page. What’s on this week is over on the noticeboard, and the whole bistro menu — nine parmas included — is on the menu.
