Tingoora Hotel — known locally as The Tinny — has been on High Street in Tingoora since 1900, according to Zest. If you are planning a meal or a drink there, the most useful single detail is the phone number, (07) 4168 5150, because online opening hours conflict across directories. This guide separates the verified facts — address, phone, heritage, facilities — from the unverified claims about menus, prices, and weekly schedules.

How we researched this
Last checked: 2026-10-21.
Sources reviewed: pub directory listings, venue-directory pages, a restaurant aggregator, a local business directory, and a regional tourism citation.
We did not visit the hotel, interview staff, or independently verify menu prices; this is a source-graded guide, not an on-the-ground review.
Tingoora Pub Opening Hours
The most specific schedule identified in the research shows lunch Friday to Sunday and dinner Wednesday to Saturday, though the underlying official page was not directly available for checking. One directory offers a simpler version: Publocation says the restaurant is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, with weekends regularly completely booked out.
Weekly Schedule
Zest advertises bar service daily from 10:00 am until late, but it does not publish a full weekly kitchen timetable. Australia Hotel’s summary of the official pattern is lunch Friday–Sunday and dinner Wednesday–Saturday; an Instagram-based schedule it reported shows Wednesday–Sunday, with lunch from noon to 2:00 pm and dinner from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
Lunch Hours
The reported official lunch window is noon to 2:00 pm, Friday to Sunday. A separate Localsearch snapshot showed the hotel as closed before 6:00 pm on Wednesday, which conflicts with the “seven days” claim and illustrates why a phone call matters.
Dinner Hours
Dinner is reported Wednesday to Saturday, 6:00 to 8:00 pm, in Australia Hotel’s summary of the official schedule. The Instagram-derived schedule broadens service to Wednesday–Sunday. Neither day-by-day timetable matches Publocation’s seven-day claim.
Bookings Recommended
Publocation says weekends are regularly completely booked out. The practical translation: phone (07) 4168 5150 before you travel, especially for a Friday-to-Sunday lunch or a weekend dinner.
Hours warning: Published hours contradict each other. Use the phone call as your primary confirmation, not a directory listing.
The bottom line: treat any published hour as a lead, not a guarantee, and confirm by phone.
Tingoora Hotel Menu
No current full menu with verified prices was identified in the sources reviewed. The most detailed description comes from Zest, which lists bangers and mash, battered fish and chips, steaks, pizzas, burgers, and house-made desserts.
Signature Dishes
A Menuweb aggregator lists 10 dishes and drinks for Tingoora. Review content on that page mentions a seafood platter and chicken schnitzel; Zest’s list leans toward classic pub plates rather than fine-dining small plates.
“The food is good however some of the meals were not as ordered.”

“The pub is in the process of changing ownership.”

“Clean toilets, ample parking out the back.”

Dining Options
The venue is described as having timber floors, a rustic country-pub atmosphere, and an outdoor deck with country views. Zest also says well-behaved dogs are welcome on leashes.
Weekend Trade and Service
Popularity is part of the menu story: Publocation says weekends are regularly completely booked out, so kitchen demand can be high. One Menuweb review rates food 3/5, service 3/5 and atmosphere 5/5; other reviews on the same aggregator assign 5/5 across all three categories.
Kitchen note: When a venue’s online menu is thin, ask what is on the board when you call.
The pattern: the strongest evidence points to a straightforward country-pub menu, but there is no official dish list or PDF to rely on.
Tingoora Pub Prices
There is no official price list in the sources reviewed. Zest labels venue pricing as “price on enquiry,” which suggests the hotel prefers to quote costs directly.
Beer and Drink Prices
No drink prices were reported in the sources. The bar is advertised as open daily from 10:00 am, and a drive-through Cellarbrations bottle shop operates behind the hotel, so beer is available even if the online price list is not.
Meal Price Range
Menuweb reviews give the only concrete spending signals: dinner at A$20–40 per person in one review and A$60–80 per person in another, with lunch at A$20–40 in a further review. These are reviewer-reported spend bands, not official prices.
What to budget
- Lunch: A$20–40 per person (reviewer-reported)
- Dinner: A$20–40 or A$60–80 per person (reviewer-reported)
- Official menu prices: not published
Bottle Shop Options
Zest describes a drive-through Cellarbrations behind the hotel, which gives travellers a practical reason to stop even when the kitchen is closed.
Price warning: treat the review bands as a rough guide, not a menu. Call ahead for today’s prices.
The catch: “price on enquiry” plus two widely spread dinner bands means the reliable pricing data is thin.

Location and Nearby Pubs
Location and Getting There
Tingoora Hotel sits on High Street in Tingoora, Queensland 4608, in the South Burnett region. Publocation lists the street address directly.
Review content on Menuweb mentions ample parking out the back, clean toilets, and free camping across the road with a small park nearby. These are traveller-reported details, not hotel-confirmed services, so confirm before relying on them.
Nearby Pubs: Wooroolin and Wondai
Two other pub names appear in the search context around Tingoora: Wooroolin Pub and Wondai pub. The only direct comparison point in the research is a dated Publocation review in which the reviewer said they received friendlier service at Wooroolin Pub after a difficult telephone call with Tingoora. That is a single individual account from 2022, not a systematic review.
What to watch: without current review data for Wondai, the only responsible comparison is between Tingoora’s verified specs and one dated customer account.

Our Pick and FAQ
Our Recommendation
Our recommendation: make Tingoora Hotel a stop for a heritage country-pub drink or a casual meal, but treat the phone call as part of the plan. Call (07) 4168 5150 to confirm whether the kitchen is open, whether the bottle shop is running, and whether a table is needed.
- For travellers and locals alike, the verified anchor is the location and phone number.
- Go for the rustic atmosphere, timber floors, and outdoor deck; don’t go with a fixed expectation of a specific dish.
- Use the reported overnight rest stop and drive-through bottle shop as itinerary conveniences, but confirm both locally.
