Restaurant

Poachers was built on the love of good food and sharing it with family and friends. The Smokehouse Restaurant provides the perfect place to celebrate with family or catch up with friends in amongst a relaxed country landscape.

The Food

The Smokehouse Restaurant is in the heart of the property. The menu focuses on seasonal, regional produce and wines that come from the Poachers Vineyard. We use organic ingredients from our kitchen garden; the herbs and vegetables are picked fresh and delivered straight to the kitchen.

The meats that we cure and smoke are showcased on our Smokehouse Snacks menu and are available to purchase from our Farm Shop before you head home.

Monday & Tuesday: curate your own Smokehouse Picnic with fare from our Farm Shop.

Wednesday to Sunday: enjoy Smokehouse Snacks and cheese.

Thursday to Sunday: Executive Chef, Adam Wilson has created a stunning seasonal Sharing Menu.

Complimentary splash tastings, seated wine tastings, Farm Shop and Cellar door are open 7 days.

We recommend booking your table your visit to the restaurant.

Please note, lunch bookings of 9+ adults are required to dine on the $85 per person sharing lunch menu.

  Outstanding charcuterie and cheese platters in gorgeous country setting. You can also take away many of their on site smoked chicken and meat. One of the absolute highlights of our visit to Canberra.

  If you haven’t been, what are you waiting? What a delightful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Lunch was delicious and the service was wonderful. We ate our main course inside and enjoyed our dessert on the terrace. We were so engaged with our experience, we didn’t even stop to take a photo 😂
