The Currant Shed Restaurant

Decided to choose the Currant Shed for our wedding in November 2023 after having a few venues not work, and weren’t disappointed with our choice. The venue looked absolutely perfect with friendly staff, delicious food and amazing vibes all round! Very happy with how our day turned out thanks to this beautiful venue and fantastic staff!

I had a truly memorable lunch here. The service was brilliant from start to finish. As each course was served we were told a little about the ingredients which certainly added to the enjoyment of the food. All of the food was presented superbly and was very tasty. I had, for my main course, the Baramundi which was cooked to perfection.

Great place to try some degustation dishes. Also have great view towards its vineyard when seating outside. We tried the dishes both exotic and familiar to some regular restaurants. 2 courses $75 pp plus wine (depending on the wine you chose) Entree: - kangaroo carpaccio | pumpkin | bush tomato | saltbush - pork belly | peanut | bean sprouts | mint | coriander | kaffir lime Main: - lamb I chermoula cucumber dukkah - chicken | corn | polenta tarragon Wine: - Grant Nash GSC Grenache Shiraz Carignan (red) $15 Glass - Larnook Grenache Gris (white) $13 Glass Entree kangaroo was a bit salty to me but I still gave 5 stars as the execution of preparing the dish was to its detail. The meat was in perfect thinly sliced and so did its pumpkin. The pork belly was to its perfection of its crunchiness. And who would have thought that combined with the peanut sauce, it was delish, made it sort of like an Asian fusion. Main lamb was generous. I would prefer to have a bit more of the green salad and/or add some butternut squash. The chicken’s polenta blew my mind on how it’s cooked. Perfect crisp on the outside and soft in the inside. Combined with the corn puree made it melted in your mouth. Both wine were just perfect pair to either of the dishes - Red with kangaroo and lamb - White with pork belly and chicken We were given also some complementary pre-entree and post-main. The sourdough bread was fresh from the oven. The butter was very smooth that I couldn’t get enough of. We didn’t try the pairing wines but we ordered what we would like to have on the day. Note: - they change the menu every few weeks/months. This menu was developed by Wayne Leeson - surcharge 10% on public holidays - they also have private dining area which separates to the main (public) dining room We didn’t try the dessert as we were still a bit full from late breakfast.

The Currant Shed wines were outstanding, Ambiance and atmosphere contributed to the overall experience, the food was to die for. The Currant Shed and waitress Monica provided an exceptional experience. Their dedication to delivering amazing food, top-notch service, and a fantastic wine selection deserves high praise. Wonderful anniversary with my husband and just the most fabulous experience. Thank you Monica for being superior. Such little touches didn’t go unmissed.

The location is full of great views spanning over the grape vines, and there's ample parking out front. The wait staff were very professional and friendly, and explained all the dishes being served. We opted for the 3 course meal and were promptly presented with an appetiser dish, which was delicious. For entrées we had each of the octopus and cauliflower dishes, both very nice. For the mains we had the chicken roulade, and Barramundi. The chicken was very nice, but the cream sauce was a touch on the sweet side for us. We were presented a palate cleanser sorbet before the desserts were served, very unique and tasty. All in all, a great experience and very worthy of a visit.
