About

Join us for dinner celebrating foraged and sustainably farmed produce from the wild environment of Kaikōura, New Zealand, prepared and cooked in our kitchen at the base of the world.

Our three-course, set menus are a celebration of the season and everything the region has to offer.

Our dining table seats twelve guests and while you're savouring the flavours of Kaikōura, you'll hear stories about how we grow our food, how we forage from the mountains to the sea and the people behind locally sourced ingredients.

We focus on ingredients we have grown ourselves, foraged or sourced from our neighbours. Everything is made from scratch and the menu is finalised the day prior, based on what is at its absolute best.

Get a group of friends or family together and book the entire table of twelve, or book a seat and meet other people interested in good food and great company.

What is a Supper Club?

It's a good question. Supper clubs are places for people to enjoy fine, high-quality food, without formalities. Many supper clubs are hosted by people in their own houses, so it feels as though you're visiting them for dinner.

A supper club really can be anything, with many taking the form of pop-up concepts and even underground restaurants. Typically there is no choice when it comes to the menu, and the whole thing has a more relaxed, communal feeling when compared to a restaurant.

Drinks?

We are licensed premises and offer a small list of carefully selected wines from Canterbury and Marlborough as well as local beer, gin and our own home-made non-alcoholic sodas.

Dietary Restrictions and Allergies

When making your booking, please inform our team about any food allergies. We are able to accommodate any dietary requirements with 48 hours notice.
