Harvest Dinner #5 | Matakana Oysters

This month we’re celebrating one of our region’s greatest delicacies — oysters from the Mahurangi River, courtesy of local oyster farmer, Tom.

Thoughtfully paired flavours, beautiful local produce, and a menu designed to let exceptional ingredients speak for themselves.
Whether you’re an oyster devotee or simply love discovering the best of what’s grown and harvested close to home, this is a dinner not to miss.

It’s also a chance to support local. Tom and the other oyster farmers have endured a tough few years battling Watercare issues that devastated production. With a resolution finally in sight, there’s never been a better time to get behind the people who grow these incredible oysters.

Wednesday + Thursday | 6PM
$65 per person | 3 courses + snack on arrival

Bookings essential.

Good food has a way of bringing people together. Across all of our menus, we cook with seasonal produce that’s sourced locally and responsibly, working close with the farmers and growers behind it.

It’s low fuss, but held to a high standard.

EDIT ** Week 1 Sold Out

One for the locals |

As you may know, we’re open for dinner 7 nights a week year round. We’ll be throwing in the odd idea to keep things interesting for our team, and our guests, over the colder months.

Introducing Pie + Pinot Tuesdays

Every Tuesday this winter we'll be serving a rotating lineup of our favourite pies, from slow-braised meats to seasonal vegetables and the occasional wild card.

Expect different flavours each week, all designed for comfort and built with the same care as our dinner menu.
Alongside the pies, we'll have seven Pinot Noirs open by the glass + an optional 3 wine flight.

Each week we'll also offer a selection of large-format sides for the table, because some things are better shared.

Not feeling pie? Our full à la carte menu will be available throughout the evening.

Gather your people, settle in, and join us early week for dinner.

Every Tuesday throughout winter.�Bookings capped at 20 guests each Tuesday.
