THE BROWN PUB METHVEN, MT HUTT VILLAGE

Fireside Bar & Restaurant

This cosy bar has been recently renovated and now boasts comfy leather couches in front of an open fire place as well as tables if you fancy a romantic meal by the fire.

The restaurant menu has been spruced up for the summer season with new additions including NZ Green Lipped Mussels, Steak or Mushroom Fajitas, and BBQ Pork Spare Ribs but still has some of the old favourites including the Roast of the Day, Canterbury Burger, and our Famous Brown Pub Hoki . High standards are in place with Trev (a butcher for 16 years) placing great importance on quality produce, preparation and cleanliness. Like everyone, the Brown are aware of the emphasis on healthy food as well as great taste and to this end have managed to eliminate a whopping 75% of deep fried food from the menu while still satisfying the hungriest diner.
