The Woolwich Pier Hotel Reopens with New Look

The Woolwich Pier Hotel has re-opened after a major redesign, offering a modern French-brasserie menu with a Japanese twist under Head Chef Glenn Tabudlo.

Woolwich Pier Hotel 

The waterside venue known as “The Pier”was first established in 1885 and the new look venue brings a contemporary, casual elegance with a refreshing coastal feel, capitalising on its harbour-side location, whilst carefully respecting the buildings heritage fabric.

A dramatic staircase with an impressive mural leads up to The Social – a spacious indoor dining room offering views of Sydney Harbour. A standout feature of the venue is the 70-seat, spacious wrap around balcony with stunning views stretching over Cockatoo Island and the harbour.

Head Chef Glenn Tabudlo has taken a new direction with the food offering in line with the venue redesign. Diners can expect a new brasserie menu influenced by modern and classic French flavours and Japanese ‘umami’.
