"A Hotel of Uncommon Character"

Begun in 1850, The Royal Oak Hotel has been continually licensed since that time. The Royal Oak Hotel is a 'home away from home' and is one of those rare modern pubs that eschews gaming machines and pay-tv, preferring instead the grand art of conversation and conviviality. The Royal Oak Hotel is a generational place; stories and legends have been made, and continu

e to be made, within its interior. "The Oak", as it is affectionately known, is the reference point for many of Launceston's citizens, past and present.

We've got something private to share with you....

Our private dining rooms! Ideal for a non-boring board meeting, a bday or a Wednesday with the gang.

The Oak's private dining rooms are perfect for gathering your people together, whatever the occasion.

It's also fab if you and your crew have no inside voice (you know who you are) and want to let loose with no repercussions from quieter neighbours. We see you & we get you...

Come dine with us at The Oak 🍽️🍷

The best pub menus balance comfort and curiosity.

Alongside the classics you'd expect from a historic Tasmanian pub, our kitchen is constantly exploring new flavours, seasonal produce and creative specials that showcase the incredible ingredients grown, raised and produced across Northern Tasmania.

One week it might be local gourmet mushrooms from a farm down the road. The next, a beautifully cooked market fish, a new pasta special or a dessert worth saving room for.

Whether you're joining us for a quick midweek meal, a long dinner with friends or a special occasion, you'll find a menu that respects tradition without being limited by it.

Set within dining rooms filled with contemporary Australian art and heritage-sensitive modern updates, The Oak offers a dining experience that's distinctly Tasmanian, housed within Launceston's longest continuously licensed pub.

Book into the bistro and discover what's new this week.

🍄‍🟫 Fungi Festival at The Oak 🍄‍🟫

Some dishes are so good, you want them for the rest of your life.

Our Marry Me Mushrooms & Spaghettini is built around incredible oyster mushrooms from Mr Brown & Towns, a small Launceston farm producing exceptional gourmet mushrooms right here in Northern Tasmania.

The oyster mushrooms are roasted until deeply savoury and served with spaghettini in a rich parmesan cream sauce with semi-dried tomatoes. Comforting, earthy and packed with umami, it's the sort of dish that explains itself after the first forkful.

Save your bended knee, the answer is yes, you can have it forever. As long as forever is the 7th of June when Feungi The Festival concludes! Get it while you can... Built around exceptional local produce and available for a limited time as part of the Fungi Tasting Trail from 29 May to 7 June 2026.

🍷 A Tamar Valley favourite 🍷

Holm Oak is the labour of love of winemaker Bec Duffy and viticulturist Tim Duffy, who have been crafting small-parcel wines in the Tamar Valley since 2006. Family owned, fiercely independent and deeply connected to place, their wines capture everything people love about cool-climate Tasmania.

One of our favourites is their Pinot Noir.

Bright and expressive, it opens with dark cherry, red berries and sweet spice before revealing layers of strawberries, red stone fruit and subtle savoury notes. Fine tannins and restrained oak give way to a long, elegant finish that keeps you coming back for another sip.

It's a beautifully balanced wine and a natural companion to many of the dishes coming out of our kitchen, particularly anything featuring mushrooms. If you're enjoying one of our Fungi Tasting Trail specials, a glass of Holm Oak Pinot Noir alongside is a very good decision indeed.

🥃 A local whisky worth slowing down for 🥃

Just up the road in the Tamar Valley, Hillwood Distillery is quietly producing some of Tasmania's finest single malt whisky.

Family owned and operated, every bottle is milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, matured and bottled onsite using traditional methods and an uncompromising commitment to quality. No shortcuts. No rushing. Just exceptional whisky made by people who genuinely care about the craft.

The result is a whisky with depth, character and a strong sense of place. Rich, complex and unmistakably Tasmanian.

We're proud to pour Hillwood at The Oak, whether you prefer it neat, over ice, or as the perfect nightcap after dinner.

Next time you're at the bar, skip the ordinary and discover one of Northern Tasmania's best-kept secrets.
