The Bunker’s intimate 30-seat restaurant has become synonymous with rustic ne dining with a distinct New Zealand twist under the guidance of co-owner and head chef Ben Norfolk.

The restaurant, private room, and the cocktail bar upstairs in the premises are available for private hire throughout the party season.

On Christmas Day and NewYear’s Eve, there’ll be an early sitting from 5:30pm until 8.00 pm then a second sitting from 8.00pm until closing with a special degustation menu and champagne on arrival. On NewYear’s Eve the party will continue in the cocktail bar until 4.00am.

“We’re always fully booked in advance for both evenings, so I recommend making a reservation early,” says Ben.

The cocktail bar has capacity of up to 100 people and with a roaring replace, an intimate atmosphere and expert bar staff, it’s a popular choice for end-of-year celebrations.

“It’s ideal for of office parties,” says Ben, “and we’re happy to cater for different tastes. We offer both canape-style functions and more formal dining options – we can tailor the evening to what people want.”
