A family buffet restaurant on the corner of Froude and Tryon Streets in Whakarewarewa, Rotorua, named after Thomas Chapman, a missionary who came to Rotorua in 1835. The buffet is the draw. It offers prawns, house-smoked South Island salmon, oysters, roasts, seasonal salads, home-baked breads, a daily changing hot dish and desserts such as pavlova and cheesecake. Breakfast runs from 6.30 to 10am, and until 10.30am at weekends and on holidays. The restaurant suits birthdays, family reunions and group bookings, and it says a birthday group of four or more eats free.
Kids eat free when staying in the hotel. A bar serves beer, wine, spirits and cocktails, including an espresso martini. The restaurant says it will do its best with dietary requests but cannot guarantee that any dish is allergen-free. The website gives no opening hours outside breakfast, no parking, dog or booking details, and quotes no customer comments, so there is no view here on what diners say.
