A Taste of Spain in the Heart of Hunter Valley
With a focus on fresh, seasonal produce and bold Iberian flavours, Iron Gate Kitchen delivers a relaxed, rustic take on Mediterranean dining. The menu is guided by the elements—wood, smoke, fire, and the grill—bringing a warm, sun-drenched energy to every dish. From flame-charred meats to smoky seafood, vibrant sides and rich, classic desserts, each plate celebrates big flavours and honest ingredients in a setting designed for long, leisurely afternoons in wine country.

DESIGNED FOR SHARING
Our menu follows the Mediterranean tradition - dishes are made to be shared and will arrive progressively, as they’re prepared. Relax into the rhythm and enjoy the experience together.
