During a recent trip to Tassie with a friend, we stumbled upon the charming town of Oatlands and decided to have lunch at the local pub, The Kentish. It was so good, we ended up going back twice! The food was absolutely incredible, and we even went out of our way on the return trip just to enjoy another round of their delicious arancini balls and cheeseburger spring rolls. Both were bursting with flavour and unlike anything we expected from a pub menu!
What really sets The Kentish apart is its wonderful and unexpected fusion of cuisines. We were thrilled to find Asian-inspired dishes like the pork bao buns and the Massaman lamb shank. Each dish was perfectly executed, and the blend of flavours was a delightful surprise.
The decor is a beautiful mix of old-world charm and modern style, creating a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. Itās the kind of place where you can easily settle in for hours and enjoy the relaxed, welcoming vibe. Weāre already planning to come back and experience a weekend there while the garden is open with live musicāit sounds like the perfect spot to unwind! We had a sneak at the accommodation too and they are beautifully styled for a weekend away in comfort. Will have to try them next time.
Overall, The Kentish is an absolute gem in Oatlands, and I canāt recommend it enough. Whether youāre passing through or looking for a reason to go out of your way, this pub is worth the visit. 10/10 would...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMe and my friends popped in for a quick meal while we charged up the Tesla. We had spent 40 minutes looking over the menu on the drive there, only to discover that we were looking at the Kentish in ADELAIDE! But boy oh boy were we impressed by the INCREDIBLE and genuine customer service at The Kentish Tasmania. I have to give a shout out to the lady (didnāt get her name) who has been there 15 years (or is it two weeks? Sheās still learningā¦) for her warm, sweet hospitality. We got the brisket burger and a whole bunch of cabinet sweets to keep us going for the remainder of the trip up to Launceston. Everything was delicious and fresh. I believe the sweeties are baked onsite as well, but donāt quote me on that. 10/10 would recommend to anyone...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI recently dined at the Kentish Hotel and had a fantastic experience. My waitress, Tamika, was friendly and attentive, ensuring that our experience was enjoyable from start to finish.
As for the food, the brisket burger and chicken burger were both excellent. The meat was cooked to perfection - the brisket was tender and juicy, and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The burgers were served on brioche buns with a variety of tasty toppings, making for a truly delicious meal.
Overall, I highly recommend the Kentish Hotel for anyone looking for a great food on Oatlands and excellent service. Tamika was a standout waitress, and the food was top-notch. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant...
