Jolly Jumbuck Bistro

Southern NSW & The Murray


This bustling restaurant is Hay's best, with friendly staff and great food prepared in an open kitchen. There's nothing fancy about the standard steak, seafood and chicken offerings; it's just good old-fashioned country food, done well. Wood-fired pizzas from 6pm from Tuesday to Saturday are good value. Next door at the Riverina Hotel there's often live music on Saturday nights.
