Sovereign Hill acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to all of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who live and work on Wadawurrung Country. We acknowledge their unceded sovereignty over Wadawurrung Country, and the ongoing hardship and trauma as a result of colonisation. The history and continuous culture of the Wadawurrung people is an important part of our shared story.

Exploring Sovereign Hill can make you hungry and thirsty. It was the same for the original diggers in the 1850’s but what we offer today is a big improvement. We have plenty of places where you can eat and drink, each one offers a unique setting and menu.

Hope Bakery
Try food on the go from our award-winning Bakery. Our extremely famous sausage rolls, plus pies, pasties and sweet treats are a dentist’s delight.

United States Hotel
Well then, belly up to the solid timber bar to try our very own Sovereign Hill beers on tap. Or if coffee is more you go, we’ve got you covered. There’s also light refreshments readily available.

New York Bakery
Sit down and sup up. The refurbished New York Bakery is our signature restaurant which offers a wide menu range for all tastes. Enjoy the table service as we deliver old fashioned great service.

Prospectors Table
Head to our modern café which is a standout for families with our fabulous gold rush playground at the front. If you’re after a hot or cold meal with any kind of drinks, this is the place you. Eat in or dine out on the deck.
