Somerset Cottage

Established in 1986, as a small family owned restaurant, Somerset continues to be run today by Rick and Anne, who are still passionate about all that they do, and focused on embracing the enormous shifts that have happened in the NZ food and wine scene over the time the restaurant has been open.

Sustainability, seasonality, food that tastes delicious, along with a sense of place and warmth of hospitality, and enjoyment in what we do, each and every day, continue to be our driving forces.

We offer two sides to our menu: our signature dishes and an ever evolving weekly menu where we get to experiment with seasonal ingredients. We also offer an extensive wine list, a selection of NZ craft beers, and a wide range of pre-dinner drinks.

The Cook Schools have been running for over 20 years now and are a regular part of our year and one that we approach with much enjoyment. They require nothing from the participants beyond an enthusiasm for good food.

We look forward to welcoming you!
