Christmas in July at The Vic Hotel
Don your ugliest Christmas sweater and head to this Footscray pub for a three-course festive feast.
Overview
Santa is arriving early at The Vic Hotel, as the much–loved pub hosts a Christmas feast on Friday, July 25. Steeped in history, but with a modern touch, the timeless pub offers the perfect setting for a cosy Christmas in July dinner.
The three-course menu thoughtfully combines classic Christmas flavours with a fresh, Aussie twist. Enjoy scallops with coriander, hazelnut butter and pangrattato for an entree. For mains, guests can expect hearty classics, including a turkey ballotine with cranberries, brioche stuffing, root vegetables and gravy, or twice-cooked pork belly, potato gratin, pickled kohlrabi and apple cider jus. Don't forget to leave room for dessert — it's an Aussie classic. We're talking an old-school pav with passionfruit, strawberries, blueberries and cream.
But that's not all. On the day, the pub will also be hosting an ugly Christmas sweater competition. So, make sure you dress up in the ugliest sweater you can find. You'll get bonus points if it's got an extra Christmassy touch. Prizes for the ugliest, most creative and most festive sweaters will be announced at 7pm in the main bar.
With limited seating, tickets for Christmas in July at The Vic Hotel are expected to sell fast. Visit the venue's website to reserve a spot.
