We thought Meaters of Marlborough Ltd, the star of our Friday raffles, were overdue a shout out.
Thanks for providing us with fantastic meat week after week - the meat is top quality and your team are awesome to deal with 🍻🥩

You asked. We listened.

After hearing from plenty of our locals, the Friday night raffles are sticking around for the next couple of weeks!

That’s right we’re keeping the good times (and the chances to win) rolling with raffles kicking off at 6pm this Friday.

Turns out getting rid of them was about as popular as warm beer and flat batteries, so we’ve done the sensible thing and kept them going.

See you Friday from 6pm. Bring your lucky charms, your mates, and maybe a backup excuse for when you don’t win.

See you at the bar 🍻

THIS WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY EEEPPPIC 👏

Friday night kicks off with our legendary raffles and over $5000 worth of prizes up for grabs. This is our final raffle! We are going out with a bang!! Safe to say the meat trays are looking dangerously good and someone’s going home very happy.

Then Saturday… the owners have decided to chuck in a wee treat at the till because apparently they’ve chosen generosity this weekend. We won’t question it, we’ll just roll with it.

BUT Sunday is the big one ❤️

One of our amazing locals is shaving his hair for Hospice at 2PM and we’d love to see the community get right behind him. We’ll be running raffles ALL weekend long with proceeds going towards this awesome cause.

So basically:
Cold beers ✔️
Good feeds ✔️
Meat raffles ✔️
Questionable financial decisions on raffle tickets ✔️

Doing something good for the community ✔️

Get your crew together and spend the weekend with us at the Ocean

See you at the bar 🍻

It’s $25 Rump Night at the Ocean 🍻

Yeah, it’s warm now… but we all know the second that sun disappears everyone suddenly forgets how to cope with the cold.

Lucky for you, we’ve got thick juicy rump steaks ready to sort your life out and keep the cold away one bite at a time.

Honestly, standing in the kitchen tonight is optional. Eating steak at the Ocean is the smarter life choice.

See you at the bar 🍻

It’s Sunday and the weather’s colder, and cooking sounds like a terrible idea. 😉

Perfect excuse to head down to The Ocean for a $20 roast with your choice of chicken or pork, all the good trimmings, and none of the dishes waiting for you afterwards. Available from 12pm - 9pm

Warm food, cold weather, solid life choices.

14/05/2026

It’s Friday!

Which means the weekend has officially clocked in and so has our Meat Raffle Night.

Come down, grab a drink, back yourself in and try your luck at taking home tonight’s finest selection of “I definitely didn’t need to cook dinner anyway.”

We’ll also have live sport playing in the front bar for all the dedicated sports fans, armchair coaches, and people loudly explaining rules nobody asked about. 😉

Cold beers. Good yarns. Meat trays. Live sport.
A pretty solid way to spend a Friday night.

See you at the bar 🍻

Today we pause to honour Anzac Day a time to remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who fought for our freedom.

We reflect on those who gave their lives in battle, and we acknowledge the bravery of all who have served, past and present.

Lest we forget.

15/04/2026

It’s Thursday… which basically means cooking is optional and good decisions are encouraged 🍻

Slide on down for a cheeky little deal:
Chicken snitty + your pick of a glass of house wine or a handle of tap beer all for $25

Because nothing says “I’ve got my life together” like a schnitty and a drink you didn’t have to make yourself.

See you soon 😉
