Menu Planning Guide

Hobart

2015

Tasmania has a reputation as a gourmet’s paradise. Our clean waters, cool climate, fresh air and fertile soil produce an incredible variety of food. Our chefs pride

themselves on bringing the true Tasmanian experience to your guests. We choose to work with local farmers to bring the very best seasonal ingredients to your plate. Our Chefs travel to the farms, orchards, vineyards and meet the passionate Tasmanian’s who give this island state it’s

gourmet reputation. We personally ensure the highest quality ingredients are sourced for your guests.

Here at the Hotel Grand Chancellor we understand the important role food plays in any event. Whether it be a conference for 1000 delegates, a board meeting, a cocktail party, gala dinner or

simple morning tea; we will have a menu to suit all tastes. All dietary and nutritional requirements can be allowed for, catering for those who have specific dietary needs.

We have designed the following menu planning guide to suit the wide range of events hosted at the Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart. We recognise that no event is the same and our team of

professional Conference and Events Coordinators, along with our brigade of dedicated Chefs can personalise a menu to fit your exact requirements. We can offer expert advice on style, format and seasonality of produce available and can happily organise a menu tasting to ensure the

correct fit with your event.
