The lodge's restaurant at 75 Main Road in St Arnaud, the village at the edge of the Nelson Lakes area, which the website describes as the only restaurant in the village. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with breakfast dishes such as Manuka smoked bacon with eggs, eggs on sourdough, a smoked salmon bagel and pancakes with bananas and maple syrup. The lunch and dinner menu includes pizzas baked in the pizza oven, sized small at 8.5 inches or large at 12 inches, along with a beef burger with bacon and mozzarella, a mixed seafood coconut marinara, and a biltong-crusted main served with mashed potatoes. Desserts include a poached pear with peach and yuzu ice cream, and there are gluten free and dairy free options. The staff say most meals can be adjusted for dietary needs.
The website asks guests to reserve a table by phone on +64 3 521 1869 or by email, and says the opening hours change over winter. The menu covers a wide range of tastes, which suits families and walkers coming into the village.
