Shipwright's Arms

My partner and I stayed here for our first night in Tasmania and were very happy with the accommodation. Neat and clean, easy to access and check-in and check-out was simple. Nice walking distance to the wharf area for dinner and a look around. While we didn't have a meal at the hotel the meals and dining area looked lovely. Would happily stay there again.

Counter meal equals pub grub. Well you can if you want and you will enjoy. However the menu hosts dishes that would compare to fine dining. A couple of examples, Crayfish Linguine, Paella and more. Settling for the Paella and I was not disappointed. Okay it didn't have the crunchy base but the flavours were wonderful and enjoyed in a peaceful relaxing atmosphere. Nice work Shippies.

I had a Lovely lunch today, catchup with an old friend.... well priced Fish and Chips and and a couple of Willy Smith ciders. Life is Good when you are able to go to a place like SHIPPYS. ⚓️⛴️ We chose from the bar menu which was Fab 👌 but I looked at the restaurant menu and it was Terrific tooo.... The staff were very helpful and friendly and the surrounds are comfortable and interesting. Ahoy mates....

Great pub. Loved it. I have food allergies. Gluten free and these guys did a great job. GF beer was a nice touch to quench thirst. Oysters were 10/10 and well priced. Had the tuna served on mash which was tasty , well seasoned but bit over done. My wife’s steak looked sensational until the paella came out next table. Dam missed that gig. That smelt and looked awesome and the old couple nigh on ate the table. Gluten free too. My only complaint was not to be ordered to eat the paella. Haha. Finished with deserts. Gluten free brûlée was 10/10 and my wife couldn’t eat all of the sticky date pudding and needed a doggy bag. She said best ever. Not a bad start to a foodie tour of Tasmania
