Our Story

The Bunyip Hotel has been an institution in Cavendish since the 1840s and has had a long line of publicans who have taken the helm. After many ups and downs, James Campbell and Matt Nettleton have formed a partnership that they hope will not only deliver great food, beer and wine to the people of Cavendish, but also to be the caretakers of this iconic local watering hole.
Our aim is to deliver delicious, locally grown meals in a true country pub setting. 
​Our produce is sourced from local producers and we pride ourselves on developing relationships with these suppliers. We are also lucky to receive produce from the gardens of the residents of Cavendish and surrounds, which allows our menu to adapt and change to what is ripe, in season and filled with flavour.

Elisha - The Work Mum/Wife

​
Elisha might not often be seen during business hours, but her position is simple. Keep the boys of the Bunyip organised and generally on task. In spare moments she is also busy keeping on top of The Bunyip's social media ramblings on Facebook and Instagram. 
 James - The Shearing Chef

He has moved home to Mooralla and now James Campbell is using his cooking skills at his local, rather than in the big city, good news for us! He dances, he sings (off-tune), and shears sheep on his days off, but most importantly the food that comes out of his kitchen is delicious, local and mostly inspired by good country cooking.

Seb - Jimmy's Right Hand Man

We welcomed  chef Sebastian Eales to the team in 2020 and he couldn't be more suited to life in The Bunyip kitchen. Unfortunately he sings just as off tune as Jimmy and tells even worse jokes, but his cooking skills are on point and we honestly aren't sure how we ever survived without him!

Matt - The Bar Man

Most people would know him as the man behind the bar, and fair enough, he pours a mean pint and knows how to shake a cocktail. The whole truth is he runs all the finer details and keeps things in order behind the scenes when the pub is closed.

Georgie - The Multi-tasker!

She is Matt's right hand woman and keeps the fires burning (literally) and the drinks flowing and the office running when Matt isn't able to. Georgie is always a smiling face and both The Bunyip staff and customers couldn't do without her!
