Welcome to Our Local…

We are proud that our pub has an incredible history; it’s one of the oldest in the area.

The pub is said to have started life in 1863 at a site in Old Warburton that was known as ‘Bullers Hotel’. 

The building was moved in 1868 to its current location and was then named ‘The Warburton Hotel’. 

(Originally this was all the ‘Warburton Area’ before the township of Warburton was formed just down the road, and our town was turned into West Warburton.  In later years this was shortened to Wesburn.)

In recent decades the Pub was renamed ‘The Sam Knott Hotel’… but was changed back to its longest serving name in 2018 which seemed fitting, and we’ve worked hard to return the pub to its original glory, 

Us locals know it as ‘THE WEST’.  

We offer quality food and drinks in a beautiful setting. Our staff are our pride and joy; you can expect excellent customer service.

Our light-filled bistro serves up delicious pub fare – we are fussy when it comes to food and our amazing Chefs are second to none! 

Our Bar area is a place to feel at home – ponder over a cold beer, or share a bottle of Yarra Valley wine with friends.

The beer garden is spacious and perfect to soak up some Yarra Valley sun.

Everyone is welcome at The West!

Locals, tourists, visitors, community groups, families and friends. Over its long life, this pub has meant many things to many people.

Make it mean something to you!
