Medhurst Kitchen Equipment

30/08/2026

A commercial kitchen starts long before the first service.

Where the equipment sits. How the staff move. What needs power, water, gas and ventilation. Those decisions are much cheaper to get right on paper than fix after the doors open.

If you’re planning a new venue or changing an existing kitchen, talk to us early. We’ll help make the back of house work.

Good community work starts with listening.

Local organisations, schools and community programs already know their people and what is needed. The job is to understand the gaps and back the people doing the work.

Loaves and Fishes Tasmania explains that approach well.

Hospitality needs good people, and good people need a fair shot.

Hamlet’s Next Shift program is helping Tasmanian businesses fill staff gaps while opening doors for people who are ready to work.

A smart program with real value on both sides.

🌱 What is Next Shift? 🌱⁠
⁠
It's not just about filling a roster gap. It's about opening doors for people who are ready, skilled, and motivated to work, and for the businesses who need them.⁠

We help hospitality businesses to fill staff shortages, reduce staff turnover, and create more inclusive workplaces.

Something different around Hobart’s waterfront this weekend.

The Aurora Flavours Trail has local cafés, bars and venues creating Antarctic-inspired drinks, coffee, sweets and food as part of the Antarctic Festival.

Get out, try a few stops and support the people putting on something different for the city.

Thirty-two years in the restaurant business doesn’t happen by accident.

Da Angelo has become a Battery Point institution by serving great food, looking after people and doing it consistently, year after year.

Congratulations to the entire team on being named Business of the Year at the 2026 Greater Hobart Small Business Excellence Awards. Thoroughly deserved.

Christian Ryan has helped shape Hobart’s food scene for more than two decades—from Da Angelo’s and kitchens in Melbourne and London to The Standard, Aløft and Restaurant Maria.

We’re proud to have Christian and his businesses as Medhurst customers, and couldn’t be happier to see him named Gourmet Traveller’s 2026 Chef of the Year. A brilliant and thoroughly deserved result for Christian, his teams and Hobart.

Hobart’s Christian Ryan is our 2026 Chef of the Year.

Ryan leads his three restaurants (including Aloft, which turned 10 last year) with not only technical ability but also a commitment to support growing careers in Tasmania’s hospitality scene.

Now that’s a dessert.

Aztec chocolate semifreddo, caramelised biscuit crumb, tonka bean cream and warm coffee salted caramel.

Pancho Villa, you’re making it very hard to behave.

A strong result for Hamlet Hobart and young Tasmanians.

This funding will support practical training, work-readiness and real pathways into employment. Good local work that deserves to be seen.

Congratulations to the Hamlet and MyState Foundation teams.

We're incredibly excited to be named a MyState Foundation 2026/2027 Community Partner, with funding to support our Pathways to Employment: Skills for Work and Life program. 💚

This partnership will help us provide early intervention and practical support for young Tasmanians aged 18-25 who face barriers to employment, particularly those not yet ready to engage in formal training or work.

The funding will help more young people build confidence, develop life and work-readiness skills, connect with employers and take meaningful steps towards independence and employment.

We're proud to partner with the MyState Foundation as they celebrate 25 years of supporting young Tasmanians and the organisations working alongside them. Congratulations to all recipients. 💚

Local seafood, Greek flavours and a proper charcoal grill. Urban Greek’s Southern calamari looks seriously good.

Another Hobart kitchen doing great work. If you haven’t been in, put it on the list.

Garlic and cheese has made way for jalapeño and cheese. Sounds like an upgrade to us 🌶️🧀

If you’re around Hobart’s Eastern Shore, give Knead Bread? a follow and keep an eye out for Saturday’s bake.
