Our story begins in the Fish River Valley

In 2014 we moved our family run cattle business from Mudgee into the Fish River Valley, it wasn't long after that when we fell in love with the district, it's local communities, it's fascinating history and of course it's unique pubs.

Just eight years later we had the opportunity to purchase our much loved local, the Tarana Hotel and Johnston Bros. Hospitality Group was formed.

We understand the significance and the unique role that country pubs play in their local community and it's very important to us that we maintain the integrity of the local pub in rural communities. It's our goal through our venues to always hire from the local community, consult locals and give back to the community.

We source our produce from local suppliers and we support our local brewers, distillers and wine makers.

Country pubs are our speciality and we strive to make our venues welcoming to locals and visitors alike by embracing the history and uniqueness of each venue.
