The local pub has a special place in the Australian psyche, performing a kind of civic service f rom meeting place to eating place, drinking place, local grapevine and general barometer of the local community – particularly in rural areas. The McLaren Vale hotel, in the heart of one of Australia’s premier wine growing areas & gateway to the Fleurieu Peninsula playground performs all these functions admirably.

While our drinks lists have their own stories to tell, our menus offer pub classics like schnitzel, fish’n’chips, grills, salads & the like throughout the hotel.

Our “polished rustic” approach to Bellevue food either in the dining room or Tapas in the Vale bar truly represent regional seasonal philosophy & sound technique. For example, our schnitzels are “pan f ried” on the flat-top, the fish in our fish’n’chips is locally sourced Coorong Mullet or Mulloway, the beef, lamb, pork & chicken is usually f rom Ellis butchers here in McLaren Vale & is often pasture raised on the Fleurieu or adjacent regions. So too are our f ruit, veg, eggs, dairy, olives & olive oil. Even our chic peas & lentils are grown by the boss’s dad over on the Yorke Peninsula.

Admittedly not all of our ingredients are regional or even seasonal - we source as much as we can f rom as small a radius as we can to produce well priced & interesting pub fare to satisfy as many people as we can. So wet your finger, stick it in the air, test the barometric pressure, say Grace or do whatever YOU do, sit back, relax and let us show you what WE do.

Cheers,Simon, Ady, Josh, Leeshy, Pierre & the kitchen crew
