Loose Goose is a gourmet street food van in Newnham, northern Tasmania, run by the team behind The Crazy Duck. It serves bao buns, tacos and carnivore BBQ in a quick-stop, takeaway-focused format. For dog owners, the deciding factor is simple: this is an outdoor-alfresco setup, so your dog can join you at the outdoor tables but is not part of an indoor dining experience.

Dog access. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and alfresco seating areas, where there is casual space for a leashed dog to sit beside you at a table. As a street food van, there is no dog access indoors. Keep your dog on a leash and well-behaved, as it can get busy. Bring your own water bowl to be safe rather than relying on one being provided.

Good to know. Loose Goose is known for its fusion street food, particularly the carnivore BBQ and bao buns. Reviews highlight the fresh food, affordability and value, with compostable coffee lids a nice touch for the environmentally conscious. It is a vibrant, quick-stop spot rather than a lingering venue.

Getting there. Find Loose Goose on Newnham Drive in Newnham, with street parking generally available along the road. It is easily accessible from the East Tamar Highway.

Nearby with the dogs. For another sit-down option close by, try Mobrew Coffee in Mowbray. If you want to burn off energy before eating, head to the St Leonards Picnic Ground Fenced Dog Park for a proper off-leash run.

Best for a casual grab-and-go lunch or quick dinner with your dog by your side at an outdoor table.
