Drawing fresh local produce from a community of local Hunter Valley producers and growers, as well as from the Hope family’s own Angus cattle farms in the lush green pastures of the Upper Hunter, the menu is a culinary experience of the region best shared with a loved one, or with family and friends around the table.Within view - or easy walking distance - is the kitchen garden where the kitchen and gardening teams tend to a growing section of edibles including herbs greens and native ingredients. Just across the way is a pasture home to the Hope’s own very local Angus cattle.

We had a wonderful experience at a high tea celebrating my mum's birthday. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. We truly felt special during our time there. I want to give a special mention to Marisa, who took the time to chat with us and really get to know us. She made us feel extra special, and her kindness added to the lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for a memorable celebration!
