Would drive around Echuca to avoid this place. Some entitled owner who thinks he knows better. Thinks he is the only one impacted. Throw him in jail and close the pub. Avoid at all costs.

Excellent, they stay open to support their community. 100% behind them. If the supermarket can open up, they can open safer. People who have never been there leaving 1 star reviews because they cannot stand a different opinion. Poor little darlings would love to leave a zero BUT they can't!

Friendly service, Top Quality Meals, Reasonable prices, Personal touch. We have been here a number of times to eat and the Pastoral Hotel never disappoints. The relaxed atmosphere and low key decor show the true nature of this establishment. The Pastoral Hotel puts the heart back into the genuine Aussie pub. Within a short space of time of you arrival, the owner will appear to personally introduce himself and shake your hand, (or a hug for the ladies who would prefer). He is interested and will remember your names even months after just one visit. The food is FANTASTIC! Everything on the menu tastes great. Always cooked to perfection. The kitchen is open to view and is scrupulously clean. The food has fresh, clean, flavors from an immaculately clean grill. Everything is cooked to perfection (or as near to it as I have ever seen - bar none). This is true for every meal on the menu, every time. The prices are real. Another hotel in Echuca (which I refuse to even speak the name of, after such a terrible experience) charged me $56 for a steak. Pastoral Hotel price, $35. Same cut of meat. Comparison, none. The difference was polar opposites. The Pastoral steak was perfection on a plate and melted in your mouth. I simply can't tell you how bad the other one was. We have tried various nights and meals at the Pastoral Hotel, always with the same outstanding friendly service and great quality of food. I just have one thing to say to the Pastoral Hotel. Keep doing what you are doing and don't change. This is how an Aussie pub used to be before everything became so commercialized. You leave with a very happy tummy and a warm heart, feeling like a friend. Oh, and don't ever let your kitchen staff go. I don't care if you have to give her pedicures or back massages. For our sakes, please do it 😁👍💝. You won't find another like her. I can not recommend the owner, staff and chef highly enough. Top marks to all of you. It is obvious that this is your mission and passion, to make people happy. Good on you all. Five stars is well deserved. P.S. I have no relationship (either personal or financial) to any person at the Pastoral Hotel and this review is entirely unsolicited, and is VERY well earned and deserved. My lady says, "You feel like family, when you walk in". We won't go anywhere else now and we encourage everyone we know, to go to the Pastoral Hotel and see for themselves.

Great day , food was also great , staff was nice friendly and helpful, top entertainment,

We had a great night here. Food was superb, service was a little hard work.

Awesome food. Awesome humans!. So refreshing to come here, after only have big corporate options. May these smaller unique places thrive and the self-entitled big corporations tank.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by how lovely this pub was. The food and the people were awesome.Thank you for going above and beyond. We will back with friends.

Had dinner at the pub tonight. Had the white wine cream garlic prawns salad and chips. Was amazing very tasty. Great service , friendly staff.

Best pub meal in Echuca. Great value, quantity and quality food. Great local pub. Right near the train station.

fantastic staff, friendly patrons, feel very warm and welcome here

The Carlton draught was refreshing! But the sweetsoy stir-fry with beef was to die for, bloody bonzer mate! Staff friendly and nice, the old place has seen better days but still has bucket loads of character!
