A place that feels like home.. I don't mean that in a sense that the place is covered in dog hair, the tv is blaring, the kids are screaming and there's lego all over the floor; more in a sense that you feel welcomed, content and at home from the minute you enter, right up until you leave. We wanted to create a place, that I myself, would want to visit on a regular basis. A place where your name is more important to us than your money is. A place where you feel like a regular from your first visit. A place where you feel like a part of our family. A place you felt you've been before. A place that feels like home.... Ok, so we have fancy wine glasses, twinkling candles, nice chairs and really shiny cutlery, but don't let that fool you... We're humble, both in our service and in our food, and pretentiousness and oversized egos were banished from the premises the day we started trading. We like looking the part, but life's too short for airs and graces...

Breakfast & global dishes made with local produce, plus small-batch coffee, served in a cosy cafe.Overlooking the Rosebud foreshore, Hobson combines art deco charm with the sleek, contemporary style of a modern cafe. The latter may evoke a sense of familiarity among weekenders visiting from Melbourne, but it’s also a solid hint at the pedigree behind this place.The Only Hospitality Group (Bentwood, Stanley and Hotel Collingwood) took over and refreshed the site at the end of 2021, retaining the textured curves and decorative fluting on the building’s historic facade.Inside is bright and airy with polished concrete and soft timbers throughout. The space seats 120 comfortably between two expansive dining rooms, with curb-side picnic tables shaded by beach umbrellas setting the scene outside.

The story of St Andrews Beach Brewery dates back to the early 2000’s, when our Co-founder Andrew Purchase built the racetrack on the property for the royal family of Australian horse racing – the Freedman Brothers. When the property became available in 2015, Andrew and Michael Freedman saw an opportunity that was too good to miss. With the infrastructure in place and with a story like no other, Andrew, Michael and their passionate team of co-owners set about turning the former stables into a truly unique brewery.Before you book a stable in our one of a kind refurbished stables, please note the following; Stable bookings can seat groups from 5-36 and for a maximum of 3 hours. If you are unable to book at your preferred time all of our reserved seating is booked. We leave tables unreserved in our beer garden and parts of inside for groups of less than 5 people and walk-ins. If you're wanting to make a reservation for 36+ people, please visit our webpage.

Morning Sun is a fantastic little gem in Main Ridge, operated by truly wonderful, thoughtful people. A 'sister operation' to Foxeys Hangout, this truly reminded us of some fantastic little vineyards in Italy. Whilst experiencing an outstanding lunch at Morning Sun, my wife suddenly felt faint and collapsed. The care extended to us by Ben and his team, aided by a doctor dining at the next table, went beyond outstanding hospitality ... it was absolute care and kindness. Foxeys Hangout is great, but if you have time, say g'day to Ben (a really, really nice gentleman from Lyon, France), at Morning Sun and you will enjoy a wonderful experience. But let me acknowledge Tony Lee from Foxeys, who came up to Morning Sun as the ambulance was leaving and offered to drive me to the hospital. How good is that! As I said, this is not just first-class hospitality ... this is sheer kindness and care for others. But don't forget the tasting lunch ... it's fantastic. We (until my wife passed out), are not great fish eaters. No probs. The menu was adjusted for us and EVERYThING offered was brilliant.
