A Historic Reopening: The Servants Kitchen Cafe at Woolmers Estate

For ten years, the Servants Kitchen has served its time. This May, it has earned its Ticket of Leave and will reopen to the public for the first time in a decade and to celebrate for the next two weeks, your first cup is on us.

From 8am until 10am every morning, the Servants’ Kitchen is open to everyone and entry to the Woolmers Estate grounds is completely free. Walk the tree-lined avenues across 13 hectares of one of Tasmania’s most significant colonial estates in the quiet before the day visitors arrive. Then settle in and indulge by the roaring fire. Eggs Benedict with house-made hollandaise. Waffles with poached fruit and maple syrup. Porridge with golden syrup. Eggs your way on sourdough. Or simply toast with butter and house-made jam.

And for the next two weeks, your first cup is completely on us. Registration is required and is limited to 35 guests per 8-10am session, so we recommend securing your place early.

After 10am the cafe continues for ticketed estate guests until 6:30pm. But those first two hours belong to everyone.
