The Currant Shed

I had friends who were getting married overseas but as a few of us could not make it to the wedding, we decided to suprize them with a small intimate lunch with the close few that were not able to make it to the wedding. The bride and groom to be were so happy and suprized by it and they had such a great afternoon, we all did. The service was great and the food amazing. The surroundings, views, atmosphere was wonderful. I would definitely recommend The Current Shed for it's excellent service, food, scenery, serenity and location. I would definitely come back also.

We returned to eat after many years (not intentionally as it has long been up there on our "must eat" and have recommended to many people. Easy to spend the afternoon. The views are still gorgeous. The service was still spot on and it had a great wine list. The food was still delicious! A new chef / management has changed the dining style but it is still a great place for a long, lazy McLaren Vale lunch.

After hearing rave reviews, we decided to try it while we were in the area and, it lived up to it's expectations!! The views are gorgeous - you sit looking out over the lime trees, gum trees and the vineyards. The service was spot on (which you would expect when the owner is serving you) and the wines were excellent. The food was delicious! The serves are generous - we couldn't believe the size of the entrees and wondered whether we should have ordered one each - but were glad that we did! So definitely value for money here. Even after mains we squeezed in a dessert of fresh mulberries - mmmmm. Will be recommending to others and hope to return soon.

The Currant Shed restaurant at Hoffmans Winery, Ingoldby Road, McLaren Flat is one of the best we have visited over the last few years of dining in McLaren Vale. The service, food and atmosphere is wonderful. We have been here in summer and winter and we have NEVER been disappointed. The outlook over the garden filled with olive and lime trees (they make their own lime cordial, which is delicious too) is so relaxing. Service is always friendly and courteous and the food with 4-5 daily specials to choose from on top of the regular menu, is perfect.We have had a 60th birthday here, where guests relaxed with wine and local platters chatting in the garden first, before being seated for a lovely relaxing lunch to coffee and cake outside under the grapevines where you can have a more relaxed and informal lunch or afternoon tea. There is also the tasting room for Hoffmans wines, where you can pick one of theirs to have with your lunch, or choose from their extended ...read more
