FANS of Australia’s favourite pub meal - the parma and pot - can now get it delivered to their door in Geelong. But would it work in Melbourne?

The Clarendon Hotel, located in Newtown, made headlines in 2013 when it was first pub in the country to offer a drive-through chicken parmigiana service, but now it’s upped the ante.

“We do about 700 parmis a week through the drive-through. It’s been hugely successful so it was time to step up to that next level,” Clarendon Hotel owner Grant Ryan told The Geelong Advertiser.

“Some of the venues nearby have just laughed and said we’re crazy, but our chefs are still smiling so that’s a good sign.”

The entire menu is included in the service with pizzas, pastas, salads and even alcohol.

With a delivery zone stretching from North Geelong and Whittington, diners can ring up from Wednesday, place their order and pay for their meal when it arrives by cash or via a portable eftpos machine.

“We do get quite a few phone calls from people who make apps, but we’ll stick to having the human connection with it at the moment,” Mr Ryan said.

Running each week from Wednesday to Sunday, Mr Ryan said there would be a $5 delivery surcharge and the wait would be between 20 to 40 minutes depending on the distance.

They’ve hired six drivers, two extra chefs and some more staff in the drive-through to cope with customers’ demand for pub grub without even leaving their home.
