Dining
Food, glorious, Tasmanian food.
Nothing quite like it – and on the Estate we aim to use fresh local Tasmanian produce whenever we can.
Teez Café is a great place to start the day with views across the Village Green, cooked breakfast and real coffee. Let the entire day slide past, by staying on for morning tea with fresh home made cakes, a bottle of local wine with lunch. We will wake you up when it is time to go.
The Highlander Arms is a real Tasmanian pub with home made food, local beers, good wine, pool table, lots of space and an unusual decoration. The menu is innovative and the kitchen will even cook that enormous trout you caught – as long as you understand that the cooking process can shrink fish - so we will just have to trust you about how big it really was.
The Wildside Restaurant Our Executive Chef will take you through each course, explaining the use of outstanding Tasmanian produce and giving a few secrets away – only now and then.
Food without wine is, of course, like a fish without a tricycle. Which will make a lot of sense by the time you have got even one tenth of the way through our wine list of over 300 showcased in a six metre 'Wall of Wine'.
Wildside is open for weddings, conferences and group bookings of 8 or more. Bookings are essential.
Back at The Lodge there is a malt selection of over 120 different malts from all over the world. To be fair, most of them are from a cold hilly place on top of England – not surprising given that they are chosen by a man in a kilt who lives on the Estate and also chose our beautiful hairy cattle.
For those who love the outdoors but who are unwilling to butter their own bread, we can help with picnics and all expedition provisions. Prebooking is required.
Not that we want to stop you from doing some of the work – if that is what grabs your fancy... The Scholars Kitchen is perfectly suited to run cooking workshops with plenty of room for up to 20 practicing Master Chefs. The beautiful art deco cottages also have large kitchens with all the mod cons. for small group cooking. The kitchens are fully stocked with plates, cutlery and cooking utensilss, however you will need to bring your own ingredients and linen. There are a few basic necessities available in the Highland Store on the Estate.
All credit to our outstanding Tasmanian suppliers to whom we give salute and heartily recommend to you.
