This weekend was a very special weekend. We celebrated 10 years of ownership and management of The Grand Hotel!

Our three local Directors (Greg, Steve and Matt) and local General Manager (Peter) took over of The Grand as a united group and have achieved great successful together for our Warrandyte community.

All four gentlemen have put their heart and soul into operating The Grand to where it is today and we are so proud of their achievements!

The photo of our Directors is at the conclusion of Melbournes long 2020 lockdown with the first ever Grand Fire in Grand Stand. The photo of our General Manager is during the construction phase of our award winning outdoor space.

Maintaining The Grand’s history is heavily important to our team. These photos from 10+ years ago when we took over the pub, demonstrate the upgrades that have gone into the pub, while protecting our history at the same time.

Join us by congratulating Greg, Steve, Matt and Peter on this amazing achievement!
