𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞. 🔥

Long before the menus, the cocktails and the Sunday roasts, there was a fireplace built from convict-made bricks, and it has been burning in this corner of Braidwood ever since.

It has watched travellers come in from the cold. It has glowed through celebrations, quiet catch-ups and long winter lunches. It has warmed first dates, family gatherings and old friends finally sitting down together after far too long.

For 181 years it has kept going. Not just warming the room, but the people in it, and the moments worth remembering.

Now we’d love to hear yours. What’s your favourite memory by the fire at Trooper’s Rest? Tell us in the comments, or tag the person you shared it with. 🧡

Your table by the fire is waiting.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭.

Some days you want comfort. A warm, slow-cooked curry, a creamy pasta, something that feels like being looked after.

Some days you want fresh and light. Bright, colourful plates full of seasonal produce that make you feel good as well as full.

Some days you want bold. Something with a little heat, a little spice and a flavour that makes you lean in and ask what’s in it.

And some days you just want a share board, a cocktail and a long catch-up with the people you love.

All of it is on the menu at Trooper’s Rest, served fresh and made with care. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, for a quiet solo meal or a table full of family.

Hungry, tired, celebrating or just needing a good seat, whatever your mood, Trooper’s Rest has a food for it.

Whatever your mood, Trooper’s Rest got you.

𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞.

It starts with the light. The sun rises over the paddocks and spills gold across the wide, quiet streets, warming the old sandstone one wall at a time.

Then the breeze arrives. Soft and cool, carrying the smell of fresh grass and open country. You step outside and take a deep breath without meaning to. Your shoulders drop. Your mind clears. The day feels full of possibility.

The birds are already busy. The town is just waking up. Nobody is in a rush, and for a moment you remember what it feels like to simply be somewhere beautiful.

A morning like this deserves a good place to spend it.

Come to Trooper’s Rest. Start with a fresh coffee and a proper breakfast. Stay for a long lunch, then settle in for the afternoon. Let the day unfold slowly, from sunrise to the last glow of the fire.

Spend the whole day with us. Your table is waiting.

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞.

Presentation matters. A dish should look good when it reaches the table. But at Trooper’s Rest, that’s only where it starts.

What we aim to give you is more than the price on the menu. A plate made with fresh, seasonal ingredients and real care. A room warm enough to let your shoulders drop. A table where nobody rushes you, and where the people across from you get your full attention.

Joy comes with the first bite. Comfort settles in as the fire glows and the conversation slows down. And by the last mouthful, there’s a quiet satisfaction that stays with you on the drive home.

That’s what we serve at Trooper’s Rest. Not just a meal, but the feeling that your visit was worth every cent and then some.

Come and see for yourself. Your table is waiting.

𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰?

From 1865 to 1885, the Golden Times Coach regularly departed from Trooper’s Rest — carrying gold bullion, cash and armed police escorts to connect with stagecoaches heading to Goulburn and Queanbeyan.

Bold. Dangerous. Extraordinary history.

Counting down to our 181st Birthday Celebration — 14th November 2026.
