The Henley Brook

Swan Valley afternoons don’t get easier than afternoons on the lawn at The Hen. Grab a supplied picnic rug under the trees, grab a pour of craft draught, and let the kids loose on tyre swings and obstacle runs. Regulars pair cold pints with plates of beer-battered jalapeño poppers—known here as Bumnuts—and tender salt-and-pepper squid before tucking into woodfired pizzas. With free sparkling water on tap and live acoustic sets drifting across the grass, it’s an effortless post up where parents actually get to finish a conversation while watching the field.
