Tathra Hotel

Keen to feast on oysters right by the ocean? Then head to Tathra Hotel to sample a few. The traditional country pub has been a beacon for locals for 100 years and the family friendly establishment has all the pub classics. The oysters are served natural, Asian-inspired or kilpatrick and come in half-dozen ($18) or a dozen ($36). Other smaller plates include Vietnamese salad ($17), spice-dusted calamari ($17) and mushroom arancini ($14). Then, there's schnitty ($24), parmy ($25), sirloin steak with mash($35), burgers and fish and chips ($30). Or, you can pick from the chef's specials, which includes the likes of house-made gnocchi ($22), prawn and vegetable curry served with yellow rice and chutney ($32) and Taiwanese braised beef and noodle stew ($22). Basically, you're spoilt for choice. But, whatever you decide, be sure to wash it down with a tap beer made at the onsite craft brewery, Humpback Brewery.
