The parma that did it

Victoria’s Parma of the Year, straight out of Scott Street

In May 2026 the Creekside took out Parma of the Year at the Australian Hotels Association Victoria State Awards for Excellence. The judges split the top gong three ways, and all three venues scored a perfect hundred. Not bad for a pub that had only been under Skye Dubignon’s ownership for about six months.

“I just did not believe it. Literally just before they announced it, we were sitting there, and I’m like, we have no hope. And then he called the name, and I literally screamed.”
Skye Dubignon, owner

How it is built

The order is the trick. Ham goes on first, then the tomato sauce, then the cheese, so the topping holds together and the cheese caramelises on top.

“I think it’s the caramelisation of the cheeses on top that makes it different,” Skye says. Served the way it always has been, with chips and salad, and gravy, pepper or mushroom sauce on the side.

As reported by the Wimmera Mallee News, The Weekly Advertiser and the Herald Sun, May 2026.

The meals were lovely. We had steak sandwich. The steak was nice & thick. Also had lemon pepper calamari which was cooked to perfection. The young lady working was very polite, patient & a pleasure to talk to.

The Carton Draught was cold, clean and fresh the way it should be. We had the boa buns and the chicken parmy. Everything exceeded our expectations. It was delicious. It's got a great country pub feel, everyone was friendly both Staff and patrons. Jackie was so chilled she gave the place a great feel. Thanks The Creekside hotel.

A truly superb place to stop for some lunch and a few beers. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the very friendly staff that were all too happy to accommodate us with a top up before we headed off to our camping spot for the night. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and the chat so much, we came back for dinner. TOP TIP: the mushroom sauce is gorgeous.

Since 1875

A hundred and fifty years on the same corner

The Creekside has stood at the top of Scott Street since 1875, two storeys of cream render behind a white iron lacework verandah, looking out across the Yarriambiack. Generations of Warracknabeal have met here.

Today it is run by Skye Dubignon, who also has the Welshpool Hotel down in Gippsland. Her Welshpool team helped shape the menu here and still swap notes with the Creekside kitchen, which is a good part of why a Wimmera pub is holding a state award.

“It’s the kitchen team, and it’s the front of house team up at Creekside that have really brought this home, and they should be so proud of themselves, and they deserve full credit.”
Skye Dubignon, owner

In a country pub, the locals are the whole thing. Ours have turned up, and we are very glad of it.
