Menu Highlights

• Venison Hot Pot Pie: A rich, comforting pie filled with venison and mushrooms in red-wine sauce, topped with puff pastry and served with creamy mashed potato.
• Seafood Chowder: Creamy, flavourful chowder with fresh seafood, perfect with crusty bread. A warming option especially after being out in the elements.
• Haast Frontier Burger: A hearty burger built with a succulent aged beef patty, fried egg, cheese, mushroom, red onion marmalade, all served with fries. Great if you’re after something indulgent.
