History of hospitality

THE Darling Downs Hotel, or the Sandy Creek Pub to anyone who goes there, is just 10 kilometres outside Warwick on the Sandy Creek Road.
An historical hotel – the perfect stop to relax and unwind on wide verandahs or the rustic beer garden – it is an important part of the local community.
It is a country pub with meals available on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch – a place of country hospitality and cold drinks where publican Gary is always happy to have a chat.
“The year 2015 has been another great year for the Darling Downs Hotel at Sandy Creek near Warwick,” Gary said.
“Highlights of the year have included The Sandy Creek Pig Races once again raising good money for RACQ Care Flight and The Wheatvale School, The Footy Tipping Competition with the winner taking away $1000 of a total prize pool of $2750, and the last public performance of Wayne’s Balls in The Pocket Trick.
“The pub will be saying goodbye to 2015 and welcome to 2016 with a night of live entertainment featuring Warwick’s own Butch Collier.
“Butch will provide his cross-section of songs which are loved by all from 8pm on New Year’s Eve through till the new year.
“Food will be provided during the early part of the night in the form of well-valued steak, ham and chicken burgers.
“Cold beer, spirits, wine and soft drinks will be on sale to help patrons celebrate.
“All patrons are invited to come along and celebrate the new year on Thursday 31 December.”
Gary invites everyone to come along, have a chat, enjoy a snack, play a game of pool or try their luck on one of the gaming machines and have a good time on New Year’s Eve.
