WINNERS! We’re excited to announce!

WOW!! - Happy Us - This year saw us entering 9 of our products in the ‘23 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards to receive 9 gongs - 4 Gold, 2 Silver and 3 Bronze mostly for our smallgoods. After entering 4 of our sister-business’ The Bear and the Ladle Gourmet Foods in the 2022 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards and 2 of our products from new business Hamlet Downs Country Smallgoods we were awarded 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 3 Bronze awards. We use a lot of these products in our signature breakfast and dinner menu items, most raised and grown right here on the farm at Hamlet Downs. Our aim to bring you a paddock to plate experience is very important to us and we’re happy we can share our award winning products with you.

Your hosts Trish and Steve believe that good food and wine are an essential part of a great holiday experience. So book in for dinner prior to your arrival if you don’t wish to cater for yourself and enjoy a delicious restaurant quality meal served direct to your private suite. 

At Hamlet Downs Country Accommodation we offer an àla carte breakfast and in-house signature dining options as well as ‘Heat in Your Suite’ pre-prepared meals, catering for everyone, including vegetarian. (See Menu below)

Trish is passionate about food and draws from a wealth of experience in the food and beverage industry with two award winning food businesses – so you can be assured the menu will be diverse, tasty and delicious! Of course, with both businesses proud to hold the Slow Food Convivium’s “Snail of Approval”, it goes without saying that ethically produced local farm produce will be at the heart of the Hamlet Downs food journey, standing by the ethos of good, clean and fair.

Tasmanian and indeed local Derwent Valley produce is on the menu whenever possible, including our own fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs. A selection of Tasmanian wine, beer and cider is also available to enjoy with your meal.

There are also dining options not too far away such as The National Park Hotel, The Possum Shed, and 30 minutes drive away in New Norfolk is The Bush Inn and the Agrarian Kitchen Eatery, as well as a number of pubs and local cafes and take-away’s.
