Best Saleyard Canteen in Australia – Public Vote 2026

Every saleyard has its own character, but the canteens are often the heart and soul of the place. From early-morning bacon and egg rolls to legendary slices and well-timed cups of tea and coffee, they are a meeting place where there can be an opportunity for a yarn. Not always recognised for their true worth, canteens remain an essential part of sale day and the social fabric of saleyards across the country.
So this year, Saleyards Australia is shining a spotlight on the best saleyard canteens. Your nomination will help us recognise the people who turn a simple meal into something memorable. Whether it’s unbeatable service, a signature dish or a warm welcome on a busy sale day, we’d love to hear about it.

The survey takes less than a minute. Thank you for being part of it.
