A restaurant in the last surviving building of the old Kaiti Freezing Works, on the Esplanade in Kaiti, Gisborne. The brick building was once a sausage factory and later a dry store, with a carpenters' workshop upstairs. The website says the works were once known for the largest brick facade in the Southern Hemisphere, and that this building is the only part kept after the rest was demolished in 1996. Inside, polished concrete floors, exposed timber ceilings and brick walls make up the room.
The menu changes with the seasons and uses local produce and local wines, with contemporary and traditional dishes. The restaurant also hosts functions for up to 200 guests, in formal dining, buffet or cocktail styles, and offers set menus or platters for large parties. There is guest parking right outside, and the website says accommodation is a stone's throw away. Reservations and gift cards are offered on the site. The website gives no opening hours or prices and quotes no customer comments, so there is no view here on what diners say. Open Locally counts four other restaurants within a kilometre.
