LANDMARK REGIONAL RESTAURANT/CAFE

THE LONG PADDOCK

Are you looking for the ultimate lifestyle and tree change opportunity? Then “The Long Paddock” is for you!

This stand-alone licensed Restaurant & Cafe has a fantastic reputation throughout Gippsland for its sensational seasonal food menu and regional wine & beer list. Located on the main street in Lindenow with stunning views of Mitchell Valley, The Long Paddock is set on a quarter acre block and the business operates from an old historic bakery site with a fully functional wood fired Scotch Bakers oven, which is a real tourist attraction as there are only a few of these remaining in Victoria. There is also a residence at the rear of the building that has been converted into an office, kitchen preparation area and extra storage for the venue which is also included in the lease.

The Long Paddock opened in 2016 and was the brainchild of its vendors when they noticed a gap in the marketplace for high end produce and top-quality restaurant food in the bustling tourist hotspot of Lindenow. Lindenow is an easy three-and-a-half-hour drive East from Melbourne’s CBD and tourists and locals love this place meaning sales are strong and consistent throughout the year. Lindenow is popular for its Golf Course and is a thoroughfare to Metung, Paynesville & Lakes Entrance. The town has also seen significant economic growth over recent years with real estate sales up by over 10% in the past two years as well as the popular Lindenpark Estate development which is close to being 100% sold.

The Long Paddock is a family run business, with the warm feel of a country cafe with the flare of a city restaurant. The venue is a community destination and has become an institution in the area with both locals and tourists. Well known for its outstanding, delicious locally sourced brunch menu with plenty of dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options as well as a great selection of locally sourced beers and wines. It is the quintessential place for all foodies.

This restaurant is perfect for any CBD chef or experienced FOH team looking to start their own hospitality adventure in booming regional Victoria. There is huge potential to build on this already busy venue by increasing the trading hours, introduce a kitchen garden on the property and further promote the events/functions side of the business. An inspection will impress all genuine foodies. Call Marc 0412 359 907.
