At Barrel & Co Our Spring 2026 menu celebrates Aotearoa’s vibrant rebirth.
As morning light breaks over Lake Rotorua, we welcome the season with wild Kawakawa and Horopito gathered from the Ngahere (forest).
From the grill, open flames sear exceptional pasture-raised meats from rich Waikato Speckle Park and Whakatāne Savannah Angus to high-country Lumina Lamb.
Pristine Kaimoana from Gisborne and the Marlborough Sounds brings the crisp taste of the sea, finished with coastal salts and bright botanicals.
Break our signature Kūmara Sourdough and join us for a season where steakhouse tradition meets the rejuvenated spirit of Spring.
