THE

FOOD

CHAIN

WE HAVE A GREAT CREW IN ARROWTOWN

Our suppliers are one of the keys to our happiness. We strive to use the most local ingredients from passionate farmers, producers, growers and friends.

BEEF – We currently source our beef from Silver Fern Farms. This beef is raised naturally and strives on its grass fed pastures.

FISH – This family owned and operated business that is based in Dunedin supplies us with the freshest fish with daily deliveries to Arrowtown. The fish is caught between Timaru and Bluff, so straight out of that deep cold Southern water.

CHICKEN – All our chicken comes from the rolling hills of the Waikato. These happy chickens all have the SPCA Blue Tick of quality and we are super proud to be serving them

THIS IS WHERE THE LOCALS EAT - SO GOOD!

We were told about this incredible eatery by our hotel manager who lives in Arrowtown and said this was a "must do" as he and lots of the locals eat here at least once a week. Its is incredibly inviting with both indoor/outdoor seating, heating and relaxed feel. We turned up without a reservation and happily was seated right away.
The service was prompt, friendly and genuine.... The menu is a great variety of flavoursome homestyle favourites with a modern twist. Burgers, fresh and healthy salads, slow roasted/braised meats, interesting juices and gourmet coffee options. Great place for a laid back lunch or dinner with the family and friends. Thanks Slow Cuts we will be back.

JAMES'S SERVICE IS UNBEATABLE

Came here for a lunch date with my boyfriend, being a vegan and healthy eater in a meat house is not ideal for any waiters, but this didn't stop James and his team from providing 5 star service! By far the friendliest kindest service I've received this year in New Zealand. We shall definitely recommend and be back. The food was amazing too! Thank you Slow Cuts and the team.

SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE

Dropped into this funky place for lunch. We ordered the cheese burger, colourful burger, mac and cheese and kids beef burger.Being a burger lover I appreciated how delicious and light the buns were. I also sampled some of the slow roast lamb shoulder.
All the food was amazing and the service was fantastic.

GREAT FOOD, A1 SERVICE (HUGE BURGERS AND GOOD PRICE)

Ducked in this week for a light lunch, but left very happy and with expectations surpassed. I had the buttermilk chicken burger and my partner the fish burger. Both were perfect, tasty and satusfying! Service was a real highlight - would recommend to anyone looking for a good hearty lunch that will leave you happy.

JUST GREAT FOOD!!

Didn't know what to expect but the menu looked inviting and we could sit outside in the courtyard on a sunny evening. Service was prompt and friendly and orders taken after drinks served (perfect). Braised steak off the specials board and burgers off the menu were ordered with some additional side dishes. Didn't have to wait long and were presented with 4 fantastic dishes. Good portions, great tasting and a well deserved 5 stars from us.
