Spring/Summer Lodge Dinners

Our Lodge Dinners are very popular with our guests (see our reviews on TripAdvisor). 

We also featured recently in this article of the very best food & accommodation experiences to be had in this region. 

We select the very best seasonal produce to showcase our Lodge's, and New Zealand's, fabulous food & wine.

Canapés of the Day are served in the guest lounge, or in the Lodge's beautiful gardens,

with your choice of a fine NZ wine or a locally brewed, award-winning craft beer.

The Main Course will be ONE of the following, based on best available produce and any special dietary needs: 

 Bluff Salmon, hot-smoked over Manuka, with a Whisky & Brown Sugar marinade

Locally-grown Beef Eye Fillet with Cafe de Paris Butter

Perfectly grilled Hawkes' Bay Lamb Rump served with a Red Wine Jus

Chickpea & Carrot Patties with Avocado Cream & local cress delights our vegetarian/vegan guests.

The main course is accompanied by duck fat-roasted Agria Potatoes, with a fresh, seasonal salad or vegetable side dish from the Lodge gardens.

A NZ wine to suit the dish, or your palate, will be served.

Our homemade Desserts are a real highlight for many.

ONE of the following will be served:

Individual Pavlova w Seasonal Fruit & Whipped Cream (GF)

Dark Chocolate Fondant w Pouring Cream

 Individual Lemon Delicious Pudding w Passionfruit & pouring cream

Dark Chocolate Torte (GF/RSF/DF) served with Coconut Yoghurt

A NZ dessert wine (sticky!) will be served.

Webster's Organic Tea, Volcanic Roasters Organic Coffee or Hot Chocolate to follow with

The Lodge's delicious hand-made Chocolate Liqueur Truffles or Petit Fours to finish.
