Ocean Child Inn - Hobart

Never fails to deliver a great meal at exceptional prices, highly recommend for traditional but modern pub fare!

Went here for dinner last night and was both shockedand disappointed with my main course. I had the Aussie beef parmawith vegetables. My main peeve was with the accompanying vegetables, consisting of what was ostensibly stir fry type vegetables partially cooked and masked potato placed amongst thaose stir fry veggies.The plate arrangement was atrocious. On the bottom were the veggies, intersperse with the mashed potato. On top of this concoction was the Aussie beef parma. It looked vile as plated.Not only was the plating unacceptable, since not every main course dish is supposed to be piled like this, but stir fry and partially cooked veggies are not what one expects as an accompaniment to a parma. The cook (I would not call the person a chef by any stretch of the imagination) urgently needs to go to cooking school to learn the trade properly, along with not to pander so much to human fads in piling everythoing on top of each other.

This is a typical pub, with friendly staff and good value meals. My partner and I had scallops which were ideally cooked, served with chips and a fresh salad. Nothing to complain about and we will be repeat customers. Great value meals.

Staff very friendly and helpful, counter meals are first class at a reasonable cost. there is not a lot of parking in the the area surrounding this pub. but a short walk to this place is well worth it.

Great little authentic pub with a pub menu. I wentered for simple Fish and Chips for $15.00. Great value, fast service. Will go again to try more on the menu.
