Ruapehu Garden Gimlet

A refreshing twist on a timeless classic, featuring locally crafted Ruapehu Distillery Carrot Gin. Fresh cucumber and zesty lime combine to create a crisp, vibrant cocktail, balanced by the gin’s unique earthy botanicals and subtle sweetness. Clean, bright, and effortlessly refreshing.

New menu is here.
Wild game is back.

Wild game on our menu reflects a commitment to the balance and sustainability of our native bush. These animals play an important role in the ecosystem, but when populations grow too large, they can damage native plant life and disrupt regeneration. By responsibly sourcing wild game, we help manage that balance. Supporting healthier forests while making the most of what the land provides. It’s a thoughtful way to care for our environment and bring something meaningful to the plate.
