What people say
Wow what a hidden gem! Arrived and greeted with smiles! Seated with our two Westies and they were given individual water dishes. Ordered our meal, meat platter for two! It was enough for three! Meal arrived as per photo, just sensational! Cooked to perfection. We took enough home for another meal! Delicious! The dogs had a run in the adjacent paddock after their doggie donuts. A must to visit…
Such a great find, the smokehouse menu is unpretentious, generous and most importantly delicious 😋 I tried a hot dog that was was so tasty on its own but with the pickles and cabbage on a fresh roll became divine. My sister couldn't stop raving about her rueben We added a side of the finest onion rings I have ever eaten and gorgeous fresh chips struggled finish it all. The sauces could have been a dish on their own. We will totally be visiting again!
I’m smoked! We wanted to try a bit of everything, so went with the sharing meat platter for two. The flavours were really good, absolutely stuffed, but it will be one with an afterthought this evening that I should have taken the leftovers. Great setting, and it makes a nice change of pace from other restaurants in HV. Well worth the visit.
We had coconut king prawns and nachos at Monday lunch. Only took them 10 min to serve, food was very good and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!! You can also purchase some smoked cheese and meat there.
We had such a great lunch at Lovedale Smokehouse! The ribs were absolutely delicious—tender, smoky, and just the right amount of sauce. I couldn’t go past the Philly cheesesteak either... The setting was beautiful and laid-back, perfect for a slow afternoon out. It felt like a little escape from the everyday. Staff were lovely.
