Tappahannock, VA – The Town of Tappahannock is thrilled to announce that Pack Brothers Hospitality, renowned for its commitment to luxury, personalized service, and community engagement, will manage and operate the future restaurant currently referred to as Hoskins Creek Restaurant. The official name will be finalized and announced at a later date. This eagerly anticipated establishment is a vital component of the Hoskins Creek Park Development Project, an initiative set to enhance our Town’s natural beauty, waterfront access, environmental sustainability, and economic development.

The Hoskins Creek Park Project, which began in October 2024, focuses on preserving the creek’s environmental health and revitalizing Tappahannock’s waterfront. Phase 1, now underway, includes shoreline stabilization, landscape enhancements, and the creation of an entrance road. Planned dock and fuel station developments will follow, ensuring that Hoskins Creek becomes a vibrant, eco-friendly destination for locals and visitors alike.

Pack Brothers Hospitality, founded by Randy and Brian Pack, brings an exceptional legacy in hospitality management. Known for their iconic establishments such as Smithfield Station and The Surry Seafood Company, the Pack brothers have earned a reputation for creating unforgettable experiences. Their unique vision and dedication to excellence will ensure that Hoskins Creek Restaurant not only serves exceptional cuisine but also becomes a community hub and highlight within the park. The restaurant is scheduled to open in 2026, and its waterfront location on Hoskins Creek promises visitors an exceptional and scenic dining experience.

“Our partnership with Pack Brothers Hospitality reflects our commitment to making Hoskins Creek Park a cornerstone of community life and a must-visit attraction on Virginia’s waterfront,” said Town Manager Eric Pollitt. “The restaurant, with Pack Brothers’ vision, will serve as an iconic gathering place for both residents and visitors, embracing our Town’s charm and the natural beauty of Hoskins Creek.”

The Pack Brothers will also manage the four lodging units planned above the restaurant and the new boating facilities.

The Hoskins Creek Restaurant will add to Tappahannock’s array of attractions, enhancing the Town’s reputation as a historic and thriving riverside destination. The Pack brothers’ philosophy of “Excellence in Every Experience” aligns perfectly with Tappahannock’s values, promising an atmosphere of hospitality, innovation, and community spirit.

The development schedule for the Hoskins Creek Park Project outlines major milestones over the next two years. The entrance road, which will provide essential access to the park and restaurant site, is slated for completion by the end of 2025. The docks and fuel station are scheduled to be operational by late 2026, offering valuable amenities for recreational boaters. The restaurant itself will also be completed by the end of 2026, solidifying Hoskins Creek as a premier waterfront destination for dining and outdoor activities.
