Slow braised beef cheek, crispy buckwheat, polenta, salsa verde.

The last of winter comfort food.

Soon, something new.

This is The Engine Room.

Our passion for good, damn honest food is at the heart of everything we do. But the best meals are about the experience - where you ate it, who you were with, the surroundings, the ambience. These are the things that stay with you.

A room alive with laughter, conversation, music. The aroma of delicious food. The clink of plates, cutlery, glasses. The kind of night that becomes a memory.

Thanks to New Zealand Sotheby's Realty for capturing an evening at The Engine Room.

A warm welcome, a buzz in the air, and a soufflé on the way (of course!).

Just how we like it.

After all these years, it still feels pretty special 💙

Profiteroles, vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate sauce.

A little nostalgic, utterly delicious.

Our last winter lunch is on Friday, 28 August.

The kitchen is embracing deepest winter, while the bar team continues its quiet obsession with making seasonal syrups and infusions from scratch.

Join us for one last winter afternoon of delicious food, fabulous cocktails, and no particular need to be anywhere else.

Head to the link in our bio to book.

There are some who order the steak frites every time.

Others insist they are trying something else this time.

We know how that usually ends...!

Our steak frites: Hereford scotch, mâitre d'hôtel butter, mountain of shoestring fries.

On the The Engine Room menu long before The Engine Room even existed.

Calm under pressure. Serious about food. Sharp eye for detail.

We're looking for a Chef de Partie to join The Engine Room.

You bring: desserts and cold larder experience, at least three years in a busy à la carte kitchen, plenty of initiative, a sense of urgency, and good energy. You're a natural at creating consistently delicious food.

Twice baked goat's cheese soufflé - straight from the oven, impossible to ignore.

The GOAT? We'll let you decide.

Schnitzel, but make it Holstein.

Crisp, golden, topped with a soft egg, Ortiz anchovies, and capers. Twenty years and counting.

Team classic or team Holstein?
