Rock Star

ROCK Restaurant and its daytime incarnation Firestick Café proudly provide a new standard of dining in the Hunter Valley - an experience that French Michelin inspectors might well deem 'worthy of a detour'.

Australia's oldest wine region and one of its most popular wine tourism destinations has welcomed this award-winning dining landmark located at the Poole's Rock Wines Post Office vineyard in Pokolbin, where chef Andrew Clarke and his dedicated team create award-winning and memorable meals.

The commitment to seasonal and regional produce, versatile market-driven menus, chef Clarke’s deft skills and attentive friendly service are the hallmarks that have contributed to the restaurant’s Two-Hat status (Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2010) and many other awards including three year-running accolades as the Hunter Valley’s ‘Best Winery Restaurant’ in the NSW Restaurant & Catering Awards.

Simplicity and harmony are the dual signatures of Andrew Clarke’s cooking, qualities that are also integral to the architecture and design, which perfectly captures the essence of the vineyard location and surrounding bushland.

'The sleek Poole's Rock fine-diner that's fast become a destination in its own right...'
