Sunshine. Art deco. Stone fruit. Meatballs. Syrah.

What do these have in common?

Hawke's Bay does them better than the rest.

At CFS you can join us after a day in the sunshine, in our art deco building, snacking on stone fruit (in season) while sipping on one of eight local syrahs.

The meatballs we'll leave to Shaneo's.

We're proud to showcase the best of this region to locals and visitors alike.

Get a taste of Hawke's Bay this week, book a table.

You call that a snack?

When we say "snacks" on the Trust the Chef menu, we don't mean a bowl of olives with a side of peanuts.

We mean proper little dishes designed to wake up your palate and set the tone for what's coming.

Delicious morsels that actually make you think about what you're eating.

This is the opening act before the main stars hit the table.

Book a table and see for yourself.

Introducing: The Winemakers Table

Warning: you will make friends AND have very strong opinions about wine by dessert.

World Chardonnay Day

Today we're celebrating the producers who make Hawke's Bay one of the world's great chardonnay regions. Our wine list is stacked with local talent - Beach House, Maxim Wines, Clearview Estate Winery Restaurant Cellar Door , Collaboration Wines , Smith & Sheth , Tony Bish Wines , Villa Maria Estate , and Radburnd Cellars - each bringing something different to the glass.

From Bridge Pa to Te Awanga to Gimblett Gravels, the diversity of our soils and sites means there's a chardonnay here for everyone.

To the winemakers who put Hawke's Bay chardonnay on the map and keep raising the bar - thank you. We're proud to showcase your work every night.
