19.01.2022 Lovely Oatlands people !! Now weve got (most) of our shiny new winter coat on so many exciting things are happening behind our closed doors. We will see you early August and we cant wait!! #thekentishtasmania #countrypub #allthetrimmings #southernmidlands #heritage #tasmania #heritagehighway #pub #eat #eatlocal #supportlocal

18.01.2022 Now under new ownership and management, The Kentish Tasmania located in the heart of the Oatlands village is being redeveloped. Initially constructed in the early 1800s, the historic venue is looking to create a warm and relaxed space that will eventually incorporate on-site accommodation, bistro, bar, craft brewery and wood fired oven. The generosity of spirit and old-world charm nurtures all that will be The Kentish. We need someone with the skills and experience who wants... to create a good pub fare menu from world-renowned locally sourced Tassie produce as well as our own kitchen garden. Only a few minutes off the Midlands Highway between Hobart and Launceston, The Kentish is going to be a place for young and old, locals and RVers alike to enjoy a great coffee, a cold brew or a memorable meal in a town steeped in Tasmanian history. Does this sound like you? Looking for someone to start immediately. Weekend, PH, and evening work form part of the role.

18.01.2022 This is no ordinary place and for that we are extremely grateful everyday. Looking forward to welcoming Tasmanians to our little corner of the ISLAND soon. #makeyourselfathome #buysomethingtasmanian #tasmania #heritagehighway #midlands #southernmidlands #midlandstasmania #oatlands #oatlandstasmania

18.01.2022 ""UPDATE NO.455"" The great news - we can now phone you, the NOT so great news you CANT phone us (training up the pigeons as we type). Email or message via facebook best way at the moment or of course go old school and just drop in and say hi! ""UPDATE"" We now have a direct line of good old-fashioned ridgey didge telephone communications with the Kentish Tasmania team on site so feel free to give us a buzz.!! And another round with Telstra!! Apologies to anyone who has been trying to contact the team - Telstra pressed the wrong button again! Fingers crossed it will be fixed first thing Wednesday 19 August in the meantime shoot us an email - [email protected] or send us a message via Facebook.

18.01.2022 One good thing about this world ......there are always sure to be more springs. We are currently shifting our food and beverage operations at The Kentish to takeaway only and will keep everyone updated on the arrangements as soon as finalised with the intention of reopening in this new format as from next week.

15.01.2022 Following the Premiers announcement on Friday, it looks like The Kentish Tasmania reopening falls into the final Stage of the official reopening plans for Tassie and that fits perfectly with our planned grand post downstairs renovations reopening scheduled for Monday 10 August 2020.

14.01.2022 If these walls could talk, would they tell the tales of wars and pandemics, or instead of happy times of shared celebrations, friendships and country community spirit? Wed like to think the latter.

14.01.2022 It's been quite the warm one around Tassie this week, but our lovely little lounge tucked away with its stone walls, and wooden floors is a cool oasis.

11.01.2022 It may not seem like much but this feels huge to us. Natural light and bare walls exposing the secrets of The Kentish, were listening to the stories the walls are whispering while adding our own chapters. #countrypub #thekentishtasmania #oatlands #heritagehighway #tasmania

05.01.2022 We are very excited to introduce you to our charming new boss people, caretakers, licensees, manager extraordinaire, Publicans Tom and Isabella Ridgewell. They come to us equipped with extensive professional hospitality experience, kindness, keenness, and great sensibilities. Having relocated from the north-west, they are both already loving what Oatlands as a town offers. We have it on proper authority are excited to see the town grow with all the exciting projects and to b...ecome a part of such a close-knit local community. Often considered the social hub of the town, we see a local pub as an essential place for reconnection of locals and travellers (when safe) alike and Tom and Isabella are looking forward to not only providing the local community with a good casual meal but a chance to reaffirm all to this beautiful unique town. Please join us in welcoming them both to the heart of the Midlands, be sure to pop in and say hi!

03.01.2022 ****Post Update****** We are extremely proud to be part of a community that is heeding the advice of our government and staying home and staying safe, with few people around of course this means that we wont be remaining open for the moment.

Thank you for your support and continued patronage.

03.01.2022 CALL OUT: We know theres no dancing allowed still in Tassie, and thats very sad for all of us who like to hit the floor, but it doesnt mean we cant listen to some live music. The Kentish Tasmania team is keen to put together some live music dates, and we are sending a call out to any musos interested in playing a live gig or two in Oatlands. Sing out, (see what we did there), send us a message or give us a call and let us know your details.

03.01.2022 Drum roll please .......The Kentish Tasmania now has frosty cold rose gold shiny beer taps which we think might be a first. The not so super news though the wonderful snow has delayed us a teeny tiny bit and we cant re-open until Friday 14 August. We are super sad, but we promise its worth the wait. Did we mention shiny new beer taps!!
