The Workshop Kitchen
With spacious and seriously slick interiors by acclaimed hospitality designer Paul Kelly Design and a relaxed vibe led by a buzzing open kitchen, this Tamworth institution is ideal for all day dining. The Workshop Kitchen has been proudly serving amazing food and wine since 1986 and is considered the high watermark of regional hospitality.
The award winning Workshop Kitchen is renowned for being the only place in town open all day, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks until late (including public holidays).
The breakfast picks include the Fresh Brekkie Board with poached eggs, local smoked Arc-en-Ciel Trout, roast mushrooms, avocado, cherry tomatoes & greens and the Avocado Crush with poached egg, roast beetroot salsa, dukkah & balsamic glaze, both served with locally baked Reverence Sourdough. Local Antilles coffee beans get the respect they deserve & the tea is loose leaf! What more do you want to kick off the day?
Timeless fare with a modern twist is at the heart of this bright and breezy enduring eatery. There’s everything from artisan bread, seafood and pasta to local Jack’s Creek Beef Wagyu Tri Tip MS8-9+, cooked on the wood fired custom grill. Delicious entrees and sides also grace the seasonal menu. If sweet is your thing, you’ll be torn between the Apple & Walnut Crumble with miso butterscotch, vanilla bean ice cream & sesame brittle and White Chocolate & Ube Brownie with white chocolate fudge & ube ice cream.
The Workshop Kitchen has added another prestigious accolade to its name, taking out Restaurant of the Year (Superior Hotels) at the Accommodation Australia 2026 NSW Awards for Excellence. The restaurant also won this award in 2025 & acknowledges the team’s ongoing commitment to excellence, cementing The Workshop Kitchen as a true leader in regional dining.
The restaurant achieved yet another 3 Glass rating for its extensive wine list in the 2025 Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards. You’ll be spoilt for choice with over 250 wines! The Workshop Kitchen, is the first restaurant in the region to receive a 3 Glass rating, & has held this exclusive rating since 2022. Â
There’s also a private dining salon (which can accommodate up to 16 people) that’s removed in splendid isolation from the equally elegant main dining areas. With leather banquettes, locally crafted timber, well spaced tables & white marble kitchen, this sophisticated diner is the perfect spot to enjoy an authentic meal and relaxed dining experiences throughout the day or night.
