Anchors Rest Café will open on Sunday 23 October in time for the official opening of the terminal and ready to welcome passengers arriving on the first sailing to Geelong.

Spirit of Tasmania’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Bernard Dwyer, said the Company was pleased to have a locally operated café in the new terminal.

“I’m confident that Anchors Rest Café will quickly become a firm favourite with our passengers and be a relaxing welcoming space for our passengers to enjoy while they wait to board.

Bean & Base (formerly Rippleside Café) has been serving brunch options and woodfired pizzas in Geelong since 2014.

Cafe owner, Lucky Thapliyal, said he was excited by the new opportunity and was committed to continuing to deliver quality service and delicious food to his ever growing customer base.
