Parma Lovers Unite: Why Ours Is the Best

Ask any Aussie pub-goer what their go-to order is, and odds are you’ll hear the same word: parma.

At The Courthouse Hotel, we take our parmas seriously — because we know you do too.

Here’s why our parma isn’t just good — it’s a local legend.


It’s All About the Layers

A great parma is a balancing act — and we’ve got it down to an art.

It starts with a properly crumbed chicken breast — thick, juicy, and golden.

Then comes the ham, because a real parma needs that salty, smoky goodness.

Next up, the cheese — not just mozzarella, but a special blend for a perfect melt and a beautiful golden top.

Finally, it’s all tied together with a rich, hearty sauce — served hot, hearty, and just a little messy (the way it should be).


Size Matters… But So Does Quality

We’re not about giant parmas for the sake of it.

At The Courthouse, it’s about getting every bite right — tender chicken, tasty toppings, and enough flavour to keep you coming back for more.

You’ll leave full, but more importantly — you’ll leave happy.


Served Up Properly

A parma isn’t complete without the right sides.

At The Courthouse, you’ll always get your parma with crisp golden chips and your choice of a fresh side salad or seasonal vegetables — because balance matters (even when you’re indulging).


No Fancy Twists — Just Done Right

We’re proud to keep it classic.

No weird toppings, no experiments — just a real-deal Aussie pub parma, done properly, every single time.

(Although if you’re feeling adventurous, there’s always a few fun specials to keep things interesting.)


The Verdict?

If you love a parma — you’re in the right place.

Come see why The Courthouse Hotel is fast becoming a must-visit for parma lovers across Ballarat and beyond.

Grab a seat, grab a pint, and let’s make it a parma night.
