GOOD FOOD, COLD BEER & WARM SMILES.
Welcome to The Fernhill Tavern — or as the locals call it, The Ferny (because we’re on a first-name basis with everyone).
Tucked away in sunny Port Macquarie, we’ve perfected the art of after-work beers, belly laughs and classic pub feeds that hit the spot every time. We’re not fancy. We’re not fussy. But we are the place where cold drinks flow, schnitzels are the size of your head and everyone knows your beer order by the second visit. Pop in once, and you'll wonder why you ever went anywhere else.
Win a Trip to Las Vegas!
We’re doing it again! Fernhill Tavern and Carlton & United Breweries are giving one lucky winner the chance to head to Las Vegas for the 2027 NRL opening round.
And when we say Vegas, we mean the whole trip.
The prize
You and a mate will win a trip for two to Las Vegas, including:
Flights
5 nights’ accommodation
Airport transfers
Tickets to the first two games of the NRL opening round, plus the Super League game at Allegiant Stadium
NRL merchandise pack
How to enter
Head into the Fernhill Tavern pub between 3pm and 8pm, purchase a schooner of VB, Carlton Dry or Great Northern and you’ll receive an entry ticket.
Fill in your details, pop it in the entry barrel and you’re in the running.
How do you get to Vegas?
Every Friday, we’ll draw one finalist from the barrel at each pub.
All of our finalists will then come together at Settlers Inn on Sunday 8 November for the big final draw.
It’s Last Man Standing style. Every finalist’s name goes into the barrel and we’ll keep drawing names out, one by one, until there’s just one name left.
That last name in the barrel is off to Las Vegas!
The promotion kicks off Friday 18 September, so get into your local Fernhill Tavern, grab a schooner and get your entries in.
All thanks to our mates at Carlton & United Breweries.
