    Enjoyed our meal at Bush Inn, met up with lifetime friends had a great time. Very hot day sun was shining in made people on that side of table uncomfortable, could we suggest blinds for the summer. Our friend ordered eye fillet steak medium rare when he cut into it was medium spoke to waitress she offered to take it back to kitchen our friend ate his steak waitress gave a free drink. Because it was warm day we moved outside to the deck great view of and surrounds. There was a female singing her choice of songs were too loud for a quiet afternoon. We moved inside ordered coffee and tea sat in lounge on very comfortable chairs. Barman didn’t smile was not all friendly not good for tourist town.

    Limited menu, but the eye- fillet was melt in your mouth. Chips great but salad sadly lacking. To be fair, the price was good compared to other pubs I have visited in Tassie. Others at table enjoy the chicken schnitzel, mushroom gravy excellent. House pie was also reasonably priced and enjoyed. Wine price mark-up was disappointing.

    As always, delicious tender steak, nice salad and the best chips in Tassie (IMO). Amazing helpful staff, fast service. Great range of drinks. We just keep coming back even though you are some distance from where we live. My favourite pub in Tasmania.
