LOCATIONLaunceston, Tasmania
DETAILSThe Watermill Tavern is an elegant appropriation of what you’d imagine your stereotypical tavern to look like; exposed stone brick walls and low wooden beams are countered with white tablecloths and softly glowing lights. The atmosphere of this local’s favourite is replete with old-world charm and rustic ambience.
FOOD & BEVERAGEThe emphasis at Watermill Tavern is to showcase the best of Tasmanian produce, presenting generous Modern Australian dishes with bold flavour. Beef and Lamb is sourced from the rich pastures of the North and Northwest; oysters and fresh seafood from the East Coast, and free range chicken and local fresh produce from a variety of local farm gates. Enjoy crumbed scallops with fresh vegetables and garlic mash, followed by succulent, soft eye fillet with Watermill Tavern red wine jus. For dessert, ask what the cheesecake or crème brulee of the day are.
FUNCTIONSThe Owls Nest private dining room comfortably seats 40 guests, and caters for over 60 guests cocktail-style. The Mill Deck is a private deck overlooking the Tamar River, and is a popular summer venue for cocktail parties. The Tavern itself is ideal for groups of 70 for a canapé function, and offers private use of the bar.
