Details
St Georges Restaurant, a family-owned culinary destination, offers a beautiful atmosphere in Hawke's Bay, nestled within a verdant landscape between Hastings and Havelock North. The charming site, once a winery, was thoughtfully revitalised in 2012, now boasting versatile spaces with views of surrounding apple orchards and Te Mata Peak. Guests can enjoy the provincial charm of the restaurant's interior or dine al fresco under a canopy of grapevines in the sunny courtyard, with its strong garden-to-table philosophy making it truly stand out.
The cuisine style at St Georges features exciting Modern European dishes, profoundly influenced by nature's bounty of seasonal, organic produce. With an impressive ninety percent of ingredients grown from seed in the restaurant's own flourishing gardens, the menu is largely vegetable-forward, yet complemented by free-range meats from local suppliers and house-made specialities. Notable offerings include the crispy pork belly, slow-braised beef short rib, and pumpkin gnocchi, all presented with artistry and an authentic farm-to-table ethos that creates memorable dining highlights.
This establishment is perfectly suited for a wide array of occasions, accommodating everything from intimate dinners for two to larger celebrations and events. It works wonderfully for wedding festivities, casual midweek wines with friends, or any of life's significant and smaller moments, also functioning as a boutique venue for weddings, conferences, and private gatherings. The menu thoughtfully caters to diverse dietary preferences, ensuring a welcoming experience for the health-conscious, experimental diners, and those with specific requirements.

The food was okay, but the menu was different than advertised online! The only really good thing were the great wines served!
We found out that they changed ownership and they were trying to keep the standards up, and failing miserably!
All in all it was terribly overpriced for the quality and service you received!!
DO NOT RECOMMEND!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. From start to finish, everything was absolutely seamless. The food was impeccable, our guests are still talking about how incredible it was! Kat and her team were simply amazing. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly!
We are so grateful and would recommend St George’s to anyone in a heartbeat.
Thanks for everything!

Delicious food, generous servings, warm and welcoming service, and a relaxed atmosphere. There is soulfulness in Francky’s cooking, it’s special. And Kathryn and her crew treat their guests like family.
We’ll definitely return.
