From the sun-soaked shores of Waiheke Island to the dramatic peaks of Central Otago, the Man O' War team are bringing alpine and adventurous flavours to the table in the heart of historic Arrowtown.
A relaxed all-day bistro where the flavours & seasonality of the South meet bold, expressive wines from Swiftsure and Man O' War Vineyards.
Find us perched above Buckingham Green - settle in for a long lunch, get cosy by the fire, bring the kids for an early dinner or simply enjoy the view with a glass on the terrace. -
