Seasonal dining in the

heart of McLaren Flat

A place where time simply slips away

Housed in a historic currant shed built in 1916 in McLaren Flat, The Currant Shed is where long lunches are done properly. Our menus follow the seasons and celebrate the abundance of South Australia, with beautiful local produce and carefully considered wine at their heart.


Come for lunch and stay for the experience. From the first pour to the last lingering coffee, our hospitality is warm and generous, the kind you’ll carry home long after the afternoon light has faded.

The art of

the long lunch

At the heart of the kitchen is a deep respect for produce, provenance, and the people behind it.

​

Each menu begins with what is growing, available and at its best, then reaches the table with thoughtful technique and a strong sense of place. Service is warm and considered, the kind that anticipates rather than interrupts.

 

From kitchen to table, the experience feels relaxed, personal, and unmistakably The Currant Shed.

A little recognition

doing what we love

Outstanding food, service and ambience. The chefs are first class and the food they lovingly prepare is without doubt world class, fantastic location amongst the vines.

David J, Tripadvisor

One of the best meals I have enjoyed, period. I have enjoyed 3 Michelin star meals across the globe and this is in the top 3 for us. A relaxed unassuming atmosphere, we stayed on the estate and wandered down the driveway which was part of the charm.

Morgan J, Google reviews

Great food, wine, service and atmosphere. Our second visit for the degustation menu and both times have been perfect. Looking forward to our next visit.

Barbara H, Tripadvisor

The food was delicious, the setting beautiful, sitting under the verandah looking at the vines. Staff were wonderful, making suggestions and answering questions about food options. A wonderful lunch thanks for making it special.
