Lovedale Smokehouse is an owner-operated, small-batch, artisan smokehouse with a café and gourmet pantry located on a 100-acre vineyard and are open for breakfast (on weekends) and lunch Thursdays through to Mondays.
The café is famous for its mouth watering food truck style menu of low 'n slow smoked meats such as ribs and brisket, as well as burgers, nachos, hoagies, toasties and charcuterie plates.
With a super casual food truck vibe, you can relax in the courtyard featuring vineyard views and splashing fountains, in their air-conditioned dining room or enjoy your food picnic-style on the vineyard or to take-away.
They are fully licensed and offer a large range of craft beer, ciders, Hunter Valley wines, soft drinks and barista-made coffee.
The Gourmet Pantry is stocked with on-site smoked produce such as salmon, trout, chicken, duck, ham, bacon, olives, cheeses, salts, garlic, olives and butter as well as hand-made pates and terrines and a gelato bar.
They also have a large range of deli items including cured meats, salami, cheeses, smoked honey, barbecue rubs and sauces, marinades, dukkah, jams, dressings, olives, olive oils and dessert sauces.
