Formerly the National Hotel, this heritage space is now one of the Waikato's best restaurants. Sit outside for a leisurely lunch of confit duck leg or sophisticated spins on lamb or venison for dinner. The shared-plates dishes – think pork meatballs, spicy prawns or tempura oysters – also work well as bar snacks. There's an extensive selection of NZ craft beer.
