                                                            We were welcomed by a roaring open fire then went into the dining room where we enjoyed a lovely, leisurely lunch on a cold and wintry day. We all had fillet steak with winter vegetables, which was all cooked perfectly. Unfortunately we booked a later sitting and when we were ready for dessert the poached apple wasn’t available. However, the brandy snap with raspberry sorbet and berry coulis was delicious as was the sticky date pudding. Happy customers.

                                                            The Bush Inn would have to be the best and I mean best place we've ever dined in Tasmania. To begin with on the outside it heritage it's old looked like a nice little pub feed it was pretty quiet seeming, but once you step inside the atmosphere is immediately inviting with a lovely gentleman behind the bar to welcome us inside looking straight over there is an open fire 🔥 The restaurant is so cosy and the waitress staff are next level friendly. The whole place is super inviting and everyone is just having a wonderful time I don't think I even recalled a single person on their mobile phones. The food was to absolutely die for we ordered two garlic bread which was honestly the tastiest garlic bread ever! Our steaks were cooked to perfection 👌 and my daughter ordered chicken parmigiana for a second time dining there and it was just as good as the first time. I'm going to be recommending this place the Bush Inn you deserve a gold medal and I'm sure it will come we were pleased in all aspects thankyou for our beautiful dining experience if course we will be back soon!

                                                            What a wonderful place to have lunch. The ambience was truly beautiful and the food was outstanding. We were a group of 8 and the quality of food was amazing, just like a 5 star restaurant. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the different sauces were flavour sensations. Desserts were to die for and the staff were very friendly and looked after us exceptionally well. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bush Inn.
