About Us | Kelly’s Hotel - Cranbourne’s Favourite Pub & Beer Garden

The Story So Far

Kelly’s Motor Club Hotel is a 4th generation hotel dating back to the early 1900s. Kelly’s has long been an integral part of Cranbourne’s history alongside other fundamental industries that have formed a major part of Cranbourne’s historical identity, including dairy farming, market gardening & horse, trotting & greyhound racing (Cranbourne holds Australia’s only tri-code meeting).

In 1917, Arthur T Kelly purchased the Mornington Hotel, which was located on the present site that is now Kelly’s Hotel. The former hotel was aptly named for reasons it was in the parish of Mornington. The new pub was called Kelly’s Motor Club Hotel. Why that name? Last century you had to be considered a “bona fide traveller” to get a beer on a Sunday. As you had to travel a certain distance from Melbourne to qualify, motor vehicle owners came from far and wide to meet at Kelly’s. Once here, for entertainment, they made a local driving circuit starting and finishing at the pub.

After serving with the 37th squadron of the R.A.A.F, Flight Lieutenant Thomas Arthur Kelly (Arthur’s son), returned to take over as publican & together with his wife Betty, managed the hotel for 30 years. Tom & Betty had two children, Margaret & Arthur, and alongside Margaret’s husband, Alan Stocks & Arthur’s wife Carol, successfully transformed Kelly’s into the hotel it is today. Together they observed the social changes of the hotel industry including the end of 6 o’clock closing, responsible serving of alcohol, gaming & anti-smoking laws.

The tradition continues today into the 4th generation of the family, with Kelly’s sitting at the centre of a fast-growing, vibrant and diverse community.

No mid strength beers made in Victoria👎. They're forgetting they're just a pub. You should let people know if there is coriander in your salad. 50% of people don't want it!

'Dee' should not be working in the service/hospitality industry. Other patrons said the same thing on the day.

I've been to Kell's twice and absolutely loved the food. I recently tried their crocodile meat and wasn't chewy at all. The garlic cheese pizza and the spaghetti carbonora are absolutely delightful. Their parmas are nice too! The chicken breast in chicken tuscany was a bit though yo chewy. Everything else was great.

Terrible food here 5 of us ordered something different and every meal barely eatable.....croquettes 2 to 3cms long x4 were 17 bucks rip off hamburger parmas lemon lime pepper squid lamb back strap all were almost uneatable Hlahaha let's joke about your pubs terrible food

Find out for yourself if you want to

Great food, Parma and Flatty Tails were superb. Big serves and garden salad and seasonal vegetables were high quality. Food delivered hot to table and service staff willing to assist. Recommend highly.

Excellent service and good was absolutely outstanding. Great selection of gluten free options too. Highly recommend

Food was delicious. Complements to the shef. The flavours where spot on. Will be coming back in the future.

This place is one of the best in Cranbourne. we have visited this place a good 6 to 8 times over the last 12 months . The staff at this place are so good that when we walk in the door they know what table we on Table 19 and they have laugh with us, they tell us is there is anything that we like and are not on the specials board. Depending on the time you go, it can be very busy and loud. The meals we have had over time have been perfect. I think we had one that was returned only because it was too hot and spicy. Other than that, as I said at the start, it is the best around.

Good pokies venue

Really nice atmosphere, staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious if a lil pricey. Coffee was really good.

Lovely place for a meal. Chips weren't fully cooked properly though

Had lamb plate And porter house Both were amazing. First time here and I'll deffinently be coming the lamb was so soft Amazing Compliments to chefs I never have left a review on anything But because it was so bloody good I just had to share

Food wonderful the price the same as everywhere else good 👍

Lots of shops getting closed

Sensational food and great service!!! A great selection of meals and some really good specials too... I can't recommend Kelly's enough if you want a great meal out with the family or friends!

Great food a pity about the service. Training staff Thalia managed to greet us a group of 7 with a frown and continued to be super disinterested and unfriendly in taking orders. Amazing how bad service can colour one’s experience. Anyone in the service line should want to be friendly and provide good service.

Horrible. Edit to reply: The disappointment with the hotel industry in Melbourne has been quite a journey, thanks. Overpriced drinks and sub-par food for restaurant prices are the norm. And replies like this show it ain’t going to change anytime soon because the operators don’t care. But I may find a local venue that is more concerned with providing a quality experience to customers than smart-alec review replies, you never know.

We had a delicious lunch here today. Both of us had the lemon/lime calamari with chips and salad. Absolutely faultless! Calamari was so tender, the chips were hot and so tasty and the salad was fantastic. The meals were perfect and so big that I had to take the rest of mine home. The staff were amazing and the new decor is very tasteful. We'll be back for sure!

Had an awesome meal recently at Kelly's Hotel. After around 25mins trying to decide what to get from the large menu selection, we decided on the 500g Red Gum Creek King Rib Eye from the specials menu and Chicken Tuscany from the mains selection. The steak was cooked to perfection (I had medium rare) and accompanied with gratin potatoes and pumpkin puree. The chicken Tuscany sauce was delicious also with a bed of potato gnocchi. We don't eat out at Cranbourne much but will definitely be back soon to try something else from the menu.

The food was superb but not cheap.

Wonderful service and meals. Plenty of history. Good drive through and parking.

First time at Kelly’s, staff were very polite, welcoming and friendly. I ordered the carbonara absolutely delicious, i couldn’t eat it all. A young waitress came up asking if everything was okay with my and my friend’s meal (I would like to say the young waitress showed initiative for asking! As I’ve been at other venues and never get meal checks and I have worked in hospitality so meal checks are very important) I said yes, everything is great I politely asked her for a takeaway container for myself and my friend. Keep up the excellent service Kelly’s

I like the old Kelly's and menu. Extremely rude staff member in the public bar. Won't be in a hurry to return.

Top 10 parma, and I've had a lot of parmas, service is fantastic, staff everywhere

Still the best Parma for sure 😋

Excellent food with an outstanding heartfelt service and community vibe. Well done! Let’s break it down… Atmosphere: ***** First time here and I can say the place looks immaculate. It looks newly renovated, however the colours are welcoming, bright and lively. There is a good use of space between tables and the social vibe carries well with every patron enjoying a fun and casual dinner with friends and family. Excellent! Customer Service: ***** The perfect balance of friendly care and passion for the customers vs. the regimented professionalism of ensuring that no customer is left unattended should a need a rise. Ordering is through QR or at the register, our entree arrived under ten minutes from ordering, mains arrived under ten minutes after the entree. Our table was immediately bussed when we were finished by a very friendly and caring staff member who asked after our meal. Outstanding work! Food (Why we are here): ***** I can confirm the high rating is extremely well deserved Order: Garlic Pizza (entree), Chicken Parma, New Orleans Salmon, Chicken and Mushroom Risotto, Lemon Lime & Pepper Squid Garlic Pizza: Really great starter between 4. Crispy crust, real crushed garlic and beautifully cooked cheese. Chicken Parma: Outstanding - the chicken was thick, it was lightly crumbs and the Napoli sauce was rich and full of declious herb flavouring. New Orleans Salmon: salmon was seasoned and cooked perfectly - the combination of freshly cooked veggies and drizzle sauce combined to create a mouth watering flavour. Chicken and Mushroom Risotto: While it may look flat in color - the flavour was strong and rich, very tasty. Lemon Lime & Pepper Squid: Squid can be hard to avoid that rubbery texture and they certainly succeeded to get this just right and the sauce and salad provided that nice contrast of freshness. Delicious. Overall: ***** Really hard to fault this experience. The lively, happy community vibe, the representatives who go above and beyond to look after you and food…the delicious food, are all combined excellently. Outstanding work Kelly’s Hotel. We hope to be back here soon.

There was too much food on the plate, mainly chips and salad with 2 pieces of fish that was oily. There was no seniors menu for the dinner menu

Work xmas party

The service was exceptional, with prompt and efficient attention to detail. The food was of outstanding quality, exceeding expectations in both flavor and presentation. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience with quick and reliable service.

Food perfect, staff wonderful too

Hi ordered the porterhouse was delicious sat outside beautiful day n lovely meal

Thanks for the free chocolate bar :) lol The Parmas are great!

Probably the best place to eat in Cranbourne. As a vegan they have a small but great variety of meals with amazing flavours. My husband who is a meat eater has had fantastic meals also. Well presented with fresh ingredients the care the chefs put in shows give them a pay rise they're doing g an amazing job. Only downside is how noisy it gets but that won't stop me going.

10/10 for everything ! Very amazing service and even better food !

We had a great staff party at Kelly’s on Monday night. Food was top notch and great value for money. Thanks to the team for looking after us so well. I will definitely be back again. I’m dreaming of the charred corn salsa on my salmon!

Had dinner here for a work Christmas party and it was lovely! Enjoyed the food and the bistro was very nice inside! The chicken Tuscany is delicious!

Had a great time. The food was to die for. Generous portion sizes. The staff where great and very accommodating for our big group

Went to go out for dinner last night with friends turned out one friend got banned for something years ago. You think they would have got over it buy now or atleast offered a solution instead turning away a group of hungry would be patrons. Shame we all use to enjoy Kellys.

To the Owner: Let me tell you mate, you’re a lucky business owner (don’t know how people keep coming back). I review comments before visiting a restaurant and you’re definitely a hard pass for me. Your responses to customers reviews is revolting. Taking the p*** and making fun of customers isn’t going to take you very far. Good country Australia✌🏼

Definitely one of the best dining options in the Cranbourne area. Whether it's the Mixed Grill, Eye fillet risotto, one of several Parma options, Pork Belly or several other options, Definitely some fine dining options...

Great, staff Amazing food & consistent service. Has become our go to place to have a meal

I know how the system works, I have my own business in my country, which, by the way, is not Spain. I also know that if a customer comes to my business and buys even just a drink, they have the right to sit down and enjoy it. I suggest you put up a sign at the entrance of your business stating that you require a minimum purchase. Anyway, I hope things go well for you. Maybe if you improve your service, your business could someday fill up with customers and not look as empty as it does today. regards 👋🏻.

Bad service, the glasses badly washed. Terrible attention

Bad attention and they are not very kind

We are regular patrons of kellys, having been coming for years. Tonight's meal was an absolute disgrace. The rack of lamb dish was half the size it normally was. The 3 tip rack, was 1 tip of normal size. The 2 tip piece was the butt end of the rack and not even the thickness of the single tip. When it was taken back by the waiter, it was brought back out and advised it is a 3 tip dish. Once again we showed them the size of the rack and how it was not acceptable. We were given our money back but was disappointed that a dish like that could even leave the kitchen. They didn't seem that bothered we were not happy. They have lost our business

Over delivered on my expectations. For some reason have not been here before but took my daughters last minute. Kelly’s beef burger was one of the best pub burgers I’ve seen and my daughter devoured and I had the Porterhouse. Was beautifully cooked and the sides and salad were great. Young vibrant staff who look like they enjoy working there! Thanks ! Will be back for sure

Beautiful food and amazing service. Will definitely go back xxx

Unreal pub food, can’t wait to try the rest of the menu, birra tacos and chicken scallopini were on point , nice cold beer

Good food. Staff are very accommodating in catering for special needs eaters. Nice atmosphere and outdoor areas. Good for cool and warm weather

Been here many times with my wife food was exceptional but the service was horrific i had bad experience many times but i just let it go because i loved the food, but not this time went out with my family and my grandson for a family gathering but it end up with disaster waited for over an hour just to find out that our entree was served to the table beside us we just found out because the people next table told us that it might be ours because they just ordered 1 amd they gave them another one after 10 mins, so we asked the old lady who look like the head waitress followed up our order and she asked me what order are we missing, are you kidding me we havent received any of our order so i asked her if i can just get the gelato for now which i ordered first then they asked me what flavor are you kidding me again they should know beacuse they had it on my order docket but you knows, they dont say sorry at all, as an Asian ethnicity i felt that the staff was racist and rude i can tell we are the only asian's that time, all the waitresess looks like they hate their job, as much as i love the food im hesitant to comeback here again maybe i will wait until you change the whole staff except the cooks

Still the same place.

I usually love this place and the staff and fab but came in today Tuesday which is a bank holiday. Not sure if this member of staff only works week days or is new because i have never met her before.. thankfulky. From the get go she was rude and pretty rough with her service manor. I asked her for vinegar when our meals came out and she just pulled a face and walked away to get it. My husband then went to the bar to get me another white wine spritzer.... first one, along with every other one i have ever received here in the 5 years we've been coming.. no charge for the small amout of lemonade. She then served my husband and charged him $2 which is a joke considering the amount of lemonade. Its just so unfortunate because the service from a staff member like her can seriously affect our decision as to whether we come back or not. Food is very good but she would honestly put you off your mains !

Food was amazing as usual . Bit on the expensive side of pub food

Food was excellent, service was good. Being partially deaf I found the noise level distracting. (But that's my problem, not the venue's.) I would certainly recommend it to my friends.

Everyone enjoyed their meals.

Had one of the best meals ever all ways great food well done 👏

Great food and service.

We have used the Drive thru or delivery service when we couldn’t make an event. The process is easy. We all thoroughly enjoy the food. Very pleased to have this as a local option for us 😃

Kelly's is iconic and you will always be well fed here.. great selection on the menu and everything delicious for us. I feel strongly that if you're not happy with something in a place that is so well regarded you should speak up as these people care about your experience and will fix it for you if you give them the chance. I've had nothing but good experiences here.

Food was nice but a bit expensive.

Risotto had a massive black hair in the middle of it and when I notified the staff I received absolutely appauling service!! Rude as anything management!! Will NEVER be returning and definitely DONT RECCOMEND!

Food is good but it’s become way too expensive here.

Great pub food! Food is fresh, hot and tasty. And the best Parma I've had in years!

Pokies didn't pay out but not a bad place
