Meet the people behind Eleven Thirty Three.
John and Tom.
Between them, Restaurateur John Logan and Head Chef Tom Cottrell bring decades of hospitality experience from restaurants and kitchens across New Zealand, Australia, the UK and Canada.
They’ve also spent the past 18 months working alongside each other here in Hawke’s Bay, so Eleven Thirty Three isn’t the beginning of their working relationship - it’s the next chapter.
For John, hospitality is about the complete experience. The food, the w**e, the service, the space and, most importantly, the people. His philosophy is that when people go out to dine, they go out to forget - for a few hours, everything else can wait.
Tom brings that same sense of simplicity to the kitchen. His modern European cooking puts quality local produce first, with clean flavours, precise technique and nothing unnecessary.
Together, they’re creating the kind of place they’d want to spend time in themselves.
We can’t wait to welcome you in from 1 October.
