The most delicious warm cheese ‘fondue’ has arrived on our specials list - creamy cheesy goodness with crispy bacon pieces & chives perfect to dip our house rosemary and olive bread into… decadent and oh so tasty 🧀 A great one to share among friends… or not, we won’t tell!
Available until sold out!

We’re not going to throw out words like ‘next superstar’, ‘rockstar’, ‘hospitality god’ etc… here’s what we’re really looking for:
* A positive personality and outlook
* Loves engaging with people and can talk and promote all things Tassie with our customers (for FOH roles)
* Has, grit, resilience and handles pressure well
* Willingness to learn and implement skills quickly
* Works well in a team and independently
* Adaptable to changing environments and fluctuations in pace
* Has a ‘can do’ attitude
* Works with a great attention to detail while being a thoughtful problem solver
* Possesses a genuine desire to create wonderful dining experiences for our guests

Of course we would love our new team members to have prior experience or skills in this industry but it’s not essential as we can teach you the ropes!
For our Bar Tender role, experience and a passion for wine, beer and spirits / cocktails is preferred as well as the ability to make basic coffees and jump out to help our floor team on occasion - more of an all-rounder!

We are open and flexible with hours but do need candidates to understand that we are a 7 day a week business which involves weekends and public holiday. Availability over the Christmas and New Year period is also essential. (We are closed Christmas Day and New Year’s Day).

We know our Launceston community is full of fabulous people with the qualities we are looking for - don’t be shy… tell us why you’d love to join our team! We look forward to hearing from you soon.

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day from our Metz family to yours for all the fabulous Mum’s, Mum figures, those who are grieving their Mums, or those who are grieving the loss of becoming a Mum, and to those still hoping to be Mums. We hope you have a beautiful day. 🌸
It is these gorgeous, kind, intelligent and loving children that have made me a Mum and I absolutely hit the jackpot!!! I was never one of those ‘I can’t wait to be a Mum’ people, but the minute these two came into my life, boy oh boy did those beautiful maternal instincts kick in! I adore being a Mum and love these two so fiercely… they are my world and I am so grateful everyday for them!
The second photo is the last I ever took with my own Mum… it has now been nearly nine years since she passed from cancer and I miss her every day. As I age I recognise how much she loved me and always truly wanted the best for me. What I wouldn’t give for one last conversation.
Hug your Mums tight today and appreciate the little things they do… after all - they are usually the glue that holds it all together # # # Kendra

09/05/2024

🌺 They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow,
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them. 🌺

We thank you for your service, we thank you for your sacrifice, we thank you for our freedom. We will never forget. Thinking today of all the men, women and children who never had the chance to come home.

We will be open for lunch from 12pm and dinner from 5:30pm. Bookings recommended.
