About us
Residing in the quaint little country town of Fish Creek in South Gippsland, Long John Pickles is a café, restaurant and food store with a focus on locally sourced produce & products. Located in the heart of town (directly across from the iconic art-deco Fish Creek Hotel), Long Johns offers an all-day brekky and lunch menu, as well as coffee, shakes, smoothies and sweets.
It’s 2026 so we are mixing things up a bit. Diving into our treasure chests we have selected a variety of preloved retro and vintage items to part with and have scattered throughout the café.
Local produce, creative books, Brick-a-Brac and local artisan works adorn our wall and display stands for you to browse while waiting for a coffee and something to eat.
As the cooler months approach our fire will welcome you – yet another reason to visit Long John Pickles
The menu is also changing and varies weekly. If there is something specific you are hoping for, we suggest calling ahead to make sure it is on the current fair. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more updates.
Picnic, Party and Platter catering is always available so give us a call to find out more.
Evening dining may be booked any night for minimums of 15 guests. Contact in advance via email or phone. Curry nights have been introduced recently (see dates under “Menu”.) Tapas and cocktail evenings are on the horizon so keep an eye out for updates on social media. Reservations are essential for all evening events.
Wander in...
When you wander through the main entrance, you are greeted by a shiny, elegant jet-black coffee machine, one of Long John’s talented baristas and a display cabinet filled with fresh-baked muffins, croissants, scones, GF house made slices and generously portioned gourmet toasties, – all of which can be enjoyed as a take away or in the restaurant. If you’re after something a bit sweeter, an ever-changing variety of dessert treats are always available. An extra special treat most weekends are the artisan baked “Fishy “ Donut. You need to be quick though.
There are also “Lilly’s” dog biscuits to tempt your furry friends too.
Did we say coffee?
Did we say coffee? Coffee is one of the most beloved beverages worldwide, renowned for its rich aroma and invigorating taste. Originating from the Ethiopian highlands, coffee has a long history that dates back centuries. The coffee plant, Coffea, produces beans that are carefully harvested, roasted, and ground to create the popular drink. Over time, coffee has become a staple in various cultures, with unique brewing methods and preparation techniques. Whether it's an espresso for a quick pick-me-up or a leisurely cup of pour-over, coffee enthusiasts appreciate the versatility and complexity of this beloved beverage.
