Raw, honest, and straight from the kitchen pass.

Executive Chef Anthony Fullerton recently sat down with Anthony Huckstep from the Deep In The Weeds podcast for an intimate look inside Circa 1876. In a candid conversation, he pulls back the curtain on our organic kitchen garden, the fast-paced energy behind the pass, and what it truly takes to champion hyper-local Hunter Valley produce every single day.

Great dining is as much about the rhythm of the room as it is the food on the plate.

From the snap of the white linen tablecloths to the precise pour of a museum-release Hunter Valley wine, our dining room is built for culinary escapism.

Indulgence meets elegance with our Beef Tartare.

Perfect for a moody winter’s evening inside the cottage, this dish is a masterful balance of texture and flavour. Finely hand-cut, premium beef is folded with sharp eschalot, briny capers, fresh chives, and a touch of capsicum, served alongside warm, buttery toasted brioche.

It is rich, savoury, and the ultimate sophisticated starter to open your evening by the fire.

We all have that group of friends who travel for the food and know exactly what they are ordering before the menu hits the table.

If your ideal catch-up involves debating wine pairings, tasting each other's dishes, and celebrating seasonal ingredients, Circa 1876 is your playground.

When the sun goes down over Pokolbin, a quiet hush falls over our dining room.

Soft candlelight bounces off the historic timber walls, glasses clink in celebration, and the outside world completely fades away. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, planning a romantic weekend getaway, or simply indulging in a long date night, the intimate atmosphere inside Circa 1876 was designed for moments that matter.
