Fresh from the kitchen

Our Menu

Fresh Food Menu is a relaxed modern-casual place for market-led plates, comfortable dining and dishes made for sharing. From bright first bites to generous mains, our food follows the colour and character of the season, with locally inspired flavours at the table. We favour seasonal and locally available produce where practical, then cook it simply and serve it with friendly New Zealand hospitality.

A changing kitchen

Cooked with the season

We favour seasonal and locally available produce where practical. That leaves room for freshness, colour and changing plates, with ingredients selected for what feels appealing and useful in the kitchen at the time. It also means a favourite detail may look a little different when you visit.

Made for the middle

A menu designed to share

Start with a few plates across the table, then add grill dishes, vegetables or sweets as the meal unfolds. There is no fixed formula: a quick catch-up can be simple, while a long lunch can move across categories at an easy pace.
