Established in 2011, The Hop Garden was conceived as a haven for great beer, wine and food. With a focus on New Zealand’s craft breweries, and with a fine selection of local and international wines, The Hop Garden combines a touch of sophistication with friendly charm in a relaxed environment — a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city. Chef Oli Ainsworth Smith leads a passionate kitchen team, producing rustic fare influenced by the cuisines of Europe, the Mediterranean and beyond. Our food is prepared with love and dedication, and we use free range, locally sourced and seasonal products where possible. Perfect for both special occasions and as your local bar and restaurant, we aim to deliver value for money without compromising on ingredients, integrity or quality.
