Jubilee Tavern Vies For Australia’s Biggest Meat Tray

Jubilee Tavern created a ginormous Meat Tray Raffle to celebrate their renovation, with proceeds going to Whitsunday Suicide Prevention.

Last weekend Jubilee Tavern was a pub with a purpose hosting Airlie Beach’s Biggest Meat Tray Raffle, with all proceeds being donated to Whitsunday Suicide Prevention.

What started as a classic Aussie pub raffle to promote the newly renovated pub grew into something much bigger as the pub set their sights on creating what could be Australia’s biggest meat tray, in tandem with Master Butchers, Stuart Drive.

In the end, the tray was so impressive it had to be transported around the venue on a pallet on a forklift.

The tray included over $600 worth of meat, tickets to the Airlie Beach Festival of Music, and more than $300 in food and beverage vouchers.

Behind the fun was a cause that really matters to the local community. Suicide is something that affects families, friends, workplaces and communities across Australia, particularly in regional areas. The venue therefore decided to use this event to bring people together, raise funds, and start positive conversations around mental health support.

"We were absolutely blown away by the support from the Airlie Beach community,” said Senior Venue Manager Ellie Goulding.

“What started as a fun idea to create the biggest meat tray raffle we've ever seen quickly became something much more meaningful, with locals, businesses and visitors all getting behind an important cause.  

‍

“The atmosphere on the day was incredible, and seeing so many people come together to support Whitsunday Suicide Prevention was really special. Community is at the heart of what we do at Jubilee Tavern, and we're proud to have raised over $4k and awareness for an organisation that does such important work in our area."
