Winter dining, elevated.

Step out of the cold and into the rustic warmth of Circa 1876. Tonight's indulgence is a deeply savoury wild mushroom risotto. The robust, earthy flavours of mother fungus and luxurious truffle pesto are perfectly balanced by a snow-like dusting of pecorino. A true celebration of winter's finest comforts.

We are open Tuesday to Saturday for dinner, and Friday & Saturday for lunch. The fireplace is crackling; come and join us soon.

What makes a dining experience truly unforgettable?

While our kitchen team pours absolute devotion into every dish, the real magic of Circa 1876 lives in the quiet details. It’s the gentle pop of a wine cork, the amber glow of candlelight against historic timber, the warm welcome of house-baked bread, and a team that intuitively knows exactly when to top off your glass.

It’s about creating a seamless, sensory space where you can slow down, connect, and let the outside world fade away.

As the true winter chill settles over the Hunter Valley, our culinary cravings naturally turn toward deeper, richer, and more comforting flavours. Inside the historic, fire-warmed charm of Circa 1876, the season of indulgence is officially here, headlined by our exquisite chocolate pavé.

This dessert is a masterclass in texture and rich cocoa profile, crafted to bring warmth to the coolest of days. At its heart is a remarkably dense, velvety chocolate pavé that melts effortlessly with every spoonful.

Behind every unforgettable meal here is a true master of the craft. Meet our Executive Chef, Anthony Fullerton.

For him, culinary excellence isn't about over-complicating the menu. It’s about heart, precision, and an obsessive respect for local, seasonal ingredients. Drawing inspiration straight from the gardens surrounding our estate, he creates bespoke dishes that deeply connect the plate to the place.

He doesn't just run a kitchen; he orchestrates memories for every guest who walks through our doors.

Picture this: walking down our tree-lined driveway, carpeted in rich gold and amber leaves, before stepping into the warmth of our timber-hewn dining room.

The faint scent of a crackling fire fills the air, the candlelight flickers against the rustic slab walls, and the world outside slows down just a little bit.
