Chez Pok Dining
Peppers Guest House

Chez Pok Restaurant, at Peppers Guest House Hunter Valley offers award-winning dining with fresh food and wine from the region.

A true institution of the Wine Country region, Chez Pok focuses on quality local and seasonal produce, intense but simple flavours and ensuring the food style is complimentary to the excellent local wines. Over the years this highly awarded restaurant has earned a reputation for delivering excellent quality food, value and a friendly and professional “Peppers” service style.

A magical Hunter Valley experience is lunch, dinner or breakfast on the outdoor terrace overlooking the valley, or a romantic table for two in winter in front of the fire. Lunch menus feature a signature “Tasting Plate” that sees three local delicacies matched to a glass of Hunter wine. This is a truly fine way of experiencing a whole range of Hunter dining experiences over just one lunch.

The dinner menu offers an option for you to allow our team of talented Chefs create a five-course tasting menu, where they can also match a wine to each course. The dinner menu changes with the seasons to take advantage of the best local produce which includes Binorrie Cheese and local lamb and beef and quail form a farm just down the road.

Our wine list offers a great range of Hunter wines including aged Semillon, ripe rich Shiraz, tangy Verdelho and even the Italian style Bardera form a local vineyard. Labels such as Brokenwood, Scarborough, Margan and Pepper Tree are featured alongside boutique labels such as Thomas Wines, Little Wine Co, Rothvale, Merrea Park and Constable and Hershon.

For lovers of a sweet breakfast, you must check out Peppers Guest Houses’ signature breakfast Bread and Butter pudding!
