Drivers on the Bunya Highway pass the Tingoora Hotel on the way through town, about 22 kilometres north of Kingaroy (Publocation’s directory record). Known locally as The Tinny, the pub holds a High Street address in Queensland’s South Burnett region, and its reported bar hours start daily at 10 am. The online record around meal times, menus and takeaway drinks is thinner than most travellers expect. This review separates what the available listings verify from what still needs a direct phone call.

How we researched this
Last checked: 2026-10-26.
Sources reviewed: pub directory listings, a menu and review aggregator page, venue-guide compilations, related-search data, and an independent traveller blog account.
No on-site visit was conducted, no staff or owner interview took place, and no current menu or prices were independently verified.
Tingoora Hotel menu: what the available listings show
Directory descriptions compiled in the Australia Hotel trail guide place the kitchen in classic country-pub territory: bangers and mash, battered fish and chips, steaks, pizzas, burgers and house-made desserts. The same compilation describes the drinks list as beer on tap, spirits, wine and seasonal cocktails. What no source has produced is an official menu with verified prices.
No current full menu with verified prices was identified in any source reviewed for this article.
The aggregator page indexed for this review lists 10 dishes and drinks, while user-submitted reviews mention a seafood platter and chicken schnitzel. The only price signals are user-generated: roughly A$20–40 for one lunch or dinner experience, and a separate dinner experience near A$60–80.
“the inside is nicely renovated and makes a nice atmosphere”
— Menuweb reviewer, via the venue’s aggregator page
What bar style does the Tingoora Hotel offer?
The venue reads as a rustic country pub rather than a formal restaurant: listings mention timber floors, an outdoor deck and a bar that pours beer on tap, spirits, wine and seasonal cocktails. One listing adds that well-behaved dogs are welcome on a leash on the deck, which is a practical detail for highway travellers.
When can you visit the Tingoora Hotel?
The most repeated bar schedule is daily from 10 am until late. Meal service splits across listings: one directory says lunch and dinner run seven days a week, while another reports lunch from 12 pm to 2 pm Friday to Sunday and dinner from 6 pm to 8 pm Wednesday to Saturday. A third index agrees on the Friday-to-Sunday lunch window.
Planning a counter lunch? The 12 pm–2 pm Friday-to-Sunday window is the most consistently reported meal slot.
Tingoora bottle shop: what the listings do and don’t show
None of the sources reviewed for this article lists a standalone bottle shop in Tingoora. That absence is a limit of the source set, not proof that takeaway service does not exist. The related-search context for the “tingoora pub” query connects travellers to the Wooroolin Pub, which suggests nearby pubs are where drink-stop comparisons happen; whether any of them runs a bottle shop appears in none of the verified listings reviewed here.
Bottle-shop question? Ring +61 7 4168 5150 before relying on a takeaway run. The directories will not settle it.
The catch: takeaway drinks are the least documented part of the Tinny’s online record, so the phone call does the work the directories cannot.
Location and getting there: finding the Tinny on the Bunya Highway
The directory record used for this review places the hotel on High Street in Tingoora, Queensland 4608, a short step from the Bunya Highway. That position, about 22 kilometres north of Kingaroy, makes the pub a practical staging point for a South Burnett drive rather than a city-centre destination.
For weekend drivers from Brisbane or Toowoomba — two origin cities that appear in the search context behind this article — the stop slots into a Bunya Highway run. The contact number repeated across listings is +61 7 4168 5150.
Because the pub sits outside a major city and online hours conflict, a short call before travelling settles the two questions that matter: when the kitchen is open and whether takeaway drinks are available.
What this means: the Tinny is easy to find and easy to call; the listings are not yet reliable enough to skip the second step.
Wooroolin Pub and other South Burnett alternatives
The search context around the “tingoora pub” query routinely pairs the hotel with the Wooroolin Pub, a nearby stop travellers weigh against the Tinny. The comparison notes for this review also surface the Australian Hotel in Murgon, which an independent 2011 traveller blog documented as part of a South Burnett pub run.
- Tingoora Hotel — High Street, Tingoora; reported 10 am bar opening; meal hours differ across listings.
- Wooroolin Pub — appears in related-search context; no independent listing details verified in the sources reviewed.
- Australian Hotel, Murgon — recorded in a 2011 independent traveller account; details not independently verified here.
“great meals and very friendly”
— Facebook poster, quoted in a venue review compilation
The pattern: travellers treat these three pubs as a small loop and compare them on atmosphere and meal service — the two things the online record answers least consistently.
Best country pubs south east QLD: the trail context
Related searches that lead to “tingoora pub” also reach for country pubs near Toowoomba and Brisbane, and for the Queensland Country Pub Tasting Trail. The planning inputs for this article describe that trail as 25 pubs within easy travelling distance; none of the independently sourced listings reviewed here verified the trail’s full roster, so treat the figure as a route-planning pointer rather than a confirmed list.
For a grey nomad working through South Burnett pubs, the trail concept matters less for its exact count than for clustering: several pub stops can be joined into a single day on the Bunya Highway, with Kingaroy about 22 kilometres south as the regional reference point.
Why this matters: the district’s pub-touring appeal can fill a day’s drive, but this particular stop still rests on the address, the phone number and the call-ahead advice.
Tingoora Hotel: pros and cons for a highway stop
Pros
- Reported daily bar opening from 10 am — the most consistent schedule detail across the listings reviewed.
- High Street position near the Bunya Highway, about 22 km north of Kingaroy.
- Atmosphere draws the strongest review feedback: one reviewer rated it 5/5 and called the interior “nicely renovated”.
- Classic pub-fare descriptions, with user reviews mentioning a seafood platter and chicken schnitzel.
- Historical directory entries reference a dining room, live entertainment, a courtesy bus, a pool table and a jukebox.
Cons
- Meal hours conflict between a seven-day listing and narrower Friday-to-Sunday lunch and Wednesday-to-Saturday dinner windows.
- No official menu or verified prices located; Menuweb’s A$20–40 and A$60–80 ranges are user-submitted.
- Small review sample; one venue compilation describes food and service feedback as mixed, including a report of meals “not as ordered”.
- A September 2022 review on Publocation recorded a strained telephone exchange during what the reviewer described as an ownership-change period.
- No verified standalone bottle shop listing in the sources reviewed.
The balance is a simple one: the pub’s verified assets are position, atmosphere and an open bar, while kitchen logistics are the part travellers must confirm.
Our pick: planning a Tingoora pub stop that works with the evidence
Our pick: a daytime stop at the Tingoora Hotel, with the kitchen confirmed by phone in advance. The Friday-to-Sunday 12 pm–2 pm lunch window is the most consistently reported meal slot, so it is the least risky target; dinner depends on confirming the 6 pm–8 pm Wednesday-to-Saturday schedule before planning around it.
Best matched to: travellers exploring South Burnett country pubs, grey nomads planning pub stops, weekend drivers from Brisbane or Toowoomba, and anyone who wants a defined stop with a working phone number.
Why not the others: the Wooroolin Pub and the Australian Hotel in Murgon appear in the surrounding search and traveller context, but the sources reviewed here verify the Tinny’s address, distance reference and contact line, which makes it the practical planning anchor.
