• 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 above Buckingham Green - call in for a wine tasting, settle in for a long lunch, bring the kids for an early dinner or simply enjoy the view with a glass on the terrace.

    Guided tastings and wine flights also available.


  • Bookings recommended — walk-ins always welcome.
