Historic Parkville hotel with in-house baking, butchering, and Josper oven charcoal grilling

Dining & Drinks

Naughtons Hotel operates an in-house bakery and butcher shop, supplying the restaurant with fresh bread and custom-cut meats. The Josper oven on site provides charcoal grilling that locks in flavor for steaks and other dishes, with a menu that changes seasonally to reflect local produce. Guests can dine in the private bar, warmed by a cast iron wood-burning heater, or book the private dining room that seats up to 30 people for group meals.

Fresh milk is provided in the room for guests who prefer it, and the hotel offers free Wi-Fi throughout the property. The building is a 150-year-old structure that has been updated with contemporary fittings while keeping its historic character.

Sustainability & Sourcing

The restaurant builds its menu around ethically sourced and locally produced ingredients, with a focus on seasonal availability.
