Welcome to Bendix Stables
About Us
Nestled snugly in the heart of Arrowtown’s Buckingham Green, Bendix Stables is a cherished local gastropub, steeped in history dating back to 1873. Originally built as the horse stables of Bendix Hallenstein, a notable local entrepreneur and political figure, Bendix laid the groundwork for what has become a beloved gathering spot for friends and family alike. Today, Bendix Stables embodies a haven for relaxation along with offering ample space for children’s play and a dedicated kids’ menu to ensure every member of the whānau can dine with ease.
Embrace the summer vibe with live performances by local bands, creating the quintessential atmosphere for a relaxed evening out. Come winter, our crackling outdoor fire beckons, offering a cozy refuge for sipping on mulled wine or indulging in a steaming cup of mulled Ginger Bear, while the youngsters delight in s’mores. Our expansive outdoor deck serves as a prime spot to sit back, relax, and watch the world amble by, irrespective of the season.
Food
Our kitchen, led by the talented Head Chef and Co-Owner, Nick Pagan, takes pride in crafting internationally influenced culinary delights. The menu, changing with the seasons, reflects our commitment to showcasing local produce at its peak. Whether it’s brunch, lunch, or dinner, with options ranging from small to large plates and not forgetting desserts, Bendix Stables guarantees a dish to captivate your palate.
