The annual "A guide to Tasting Tasmania" is out for 2010 -11
Hobnobs is still the only eating house in Westbury to make "A Guide to Tasting Tasmania" by Graeme Phillips. We've been listed for the past five years, but with the change in style we're happy to have passed the test again this year.
"A small heritage listed cottage housing a deli, tea rooms and gift shop with log fires, good coffee and where excellent food, jams, condimentsetc are made by the owner, one of the state's most experienced chefs. Also a lovely outdoor area for summer."
but of course we knew that didn't we?
AND HERE'S A SECTION THAT WE HAVE COPIED FROM A 'BLOG' OF A VISITING AMERICAN PARTY WHO VISITED HOBNOBS THIS MONTH. For the full artical of their time in Tasmania visit the blog site :

Bonding with Wombats
Another "don't miss" experience is lunch at Hobnob's in the very pretty village of Westbury, just outside Launceston on the road from Cradle Mountain. Doreen, the owner, and her staff create small miracles for lunch - homemade pies, delicious sandwiches, and possibly the world's best potato salad. They also have a great outdoor patio for dining al fresco, and we had a beautiful day. Places like this abound in Tasmania, but Hobnobs seems a cut above the rest.
