Sorry folks, we’re closed tonight and tomorrow morning because of a sand blockage leading to a bit of a plumbing disaster! The ongoing realities of being on the South Coast… We’ll be back open for lunch tomorrow, so pop in and see us in the bay 🌊☀️

Our new menu is finally ready to go! It’s been quite a long process to ensure we lean in to the skills of our team, add more delicious and vegetable forward dishes, inspired by coastal pacific rim dining. We’re celebrating the flavours, ingredients and cultures that connect the edges of the world’s largest ocean 🌊 including Lyall Bay 👌

We kick this off tomorrow, and really hope you all like it! Cocktail menu to match on it’s way🍹

What a day!! 🤩 Thoughts on our new paint job?! It came up a bit darker than expected 😅😬 Huge thanks to our landlord who arranged for this, especially as he’s a hospo operator himself so fully understands the current challenges.

To add to the difficulties of this time, Moa Point, economy, Wellington job cuts, we’ve also been broken into multiple times, with the cheeky @&*% #’s taking just enough to be under our insurance excess levels, that’s some impressive maths really. So if anyone sees anything suspicious please let us know, and lock up your cars/houses 🙏
