The Grand is thrilled to announce we’ve been nominated for The ‘People’s Choice Award’ with AHA (Vic). We can’t do it without you and need your help to be crowned the best pub in Victoria!
Voting is open for a limited time until Monday 17th of March and is restricted to one vote per person.
Thank you for your ongoing support Warrandyte – it is always greatly appreciated!
We are honoured to announce The Grand Hotel has won the National Title of ‘Outstanding Community Service & Achievement 2024’ at The Australian Hotels Association National Awards For Excellence. Up against every other state and territory in Australia, our little old community pub in Warrandyte was crowned the best!
The Grand Hotel won the highly respected Victorian state award of ‘Heart of The Community’ at The AHA (Vic) State Awards for Excellence in May 2024 and this progressed us to the National AHA Awards For Excellence in November 2024, held at The Star Brisbane, to represent Victoria.
We are a proud standing community focused pub, and to win this national award is a testament to not only the Grand family but the entire Warrandyte community. We love to support all organisations in and around town, the local kids through employment, to those in need when it matters most.
Both awards were judged via a written submission highlighting all that we do, from meat tray raffles and subsequent donations to those in need, to the volunteering of our senior management teams time to support, guide and educate groups in our community, along with providing a safe space for the many mental health organisations within our community. When Warrandyte needs help, we are there to assist.
We can’t thank our entire Grand team enough for all their efforts to support, donate, raise awareness and participate in so many community activities that led us to win this most prized award. We appreciate everyone’s contribution and continued support to enable us to achieve this incredible success.
A massive THANK YOU to our amazing community and team for your unwavering support. This victory is yours as much as it is ours. Thank you for making us your favourite pub!
We want to celebrate this huge milestone together with you all, stay tuned on our Instagram and Facebook for more details to come shortly!
Cheers to more great times ahead!
