THE JAILHOUSE GRILL
The Jailhouse Grill is continuing a 130 year tradition by offering fine food and beverage to locals and travelers alike. The building was built in the mid 1800’s using handmade convict bricks from the local “brickfields” some 500 meters away and is typical of a Victorian Georgian Inn or Public House of the era. Registered with the Tasmanian Heritage Council, it is regarded as important to the community’s sense of place. Originally named the Prince of Wales, Launcestonians will be more familiar with the names, the Richmond Hotel, Barnaby’s Hotel and the Ball and Chain Grill. In continuing the tradition of the previous Inn Keepers and Publicans, the Management and Staff extend a warm welcome to you and hope that the meal, service and ambience combine for a pleasant experience.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT STEAK
The choice of meat - typically grass-fed yearling, of the Angus or Hereford breed. With our meat we also specify the colour, size, fat percentage, marbling and muscle score. The cooking medium - we use a genuine, open-grill, charcoal fire to cook our steaks!! The red hot embers that are created from burning the Mallee tree creates an intense, even, heat that seals the steaks quickly to lock-in the juices and flavours. The expertise - “cooks” Stuart, Charlie & Josh have cooked over 270,000 steaks between them and guarantee to cook the steak exactly how you like it.
