A Unique Dining Experience in the Southern Alps

‘Base Camp Food Over Fire’ is their restaurant but the team doesn’t quite look at it like that. Instead, they say it’s much more like ‘dinner at our place.’

Sharing a table, sharing food, sharing stories, meeting other interesting mountain loving people, and all within The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp, your wild nature adventure base.

WHAT TO EXPECT

One Seating a Night

The bar opens at 6pm with one dinner service each night, served straight from our wood-fired ovens at approximately 7pm.

Family Style Seating

You will be seated at a long-shared table. Individual places are pre-set and when it's mealtime, your dishes will be served in cast iron camp ovens and placed centrally.

Wood-fired in Cast Iron

All food is cooked in cast iron in a wood fired oven and a BBQ. Healthy, delicious whole food with seasonal and fresh ingredients. 

Pricing
Adult (13+): $70
Child (5-12): $30
Infant (0-4): Free

ON THE MENU

Vegetarian and Vegan

There are always vegetarian and vegan dishes with every dinner service. It’s good for everyone. Some examples might include: eggplant parmigiana, or a BBQ maple cauliflower, or wood-fired baby carrots over a spicy parsnip puree, or a baked butternut pumpkin with peanut butter and fresh chilli, or a kumara with two bean gratin.

Meat

While it does change from night to night, the mains typically include dishes like: apricot lamb shoulder curry; house teriyaki beef cheek; beef shin osso buco, and classic lamb shoulder roast. All mains are cooked slowly over fire and for hours with love until the meat is falling off the bone. 

Desserts

The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp always like to finish with a baked dessert served with an artisan ice cream. The desserts typically include dishes like: sticky date pudding, baked apples stuffed with prunes and brown sugar, baked whole pears with vanilla bean and a touch of spice. 

Drinks

In the theme of decision free, they have selected two of the region’s finest to accompany your meal; Mt Edward Pinot Noir, and Powder Day Pilsner from their friends at Altitude Brewing Co. And they always have an artisan light, and zero percent beer along with a range of soft drinks from Chia Sisters.
