Have you ever feasted on a meal created by a Beef & Lamb ambassador? Luckily for you, head chef Scott Kennedy has well and truly earned his stripes in cooking with red meat – resulting in Nero’s award-winning menu, full of flavoursome contemporary dishes that offer something to please everyone. Supporting local purveyors, utilising seasonal produce, and experimenting with bold flavours is what Nero is all about.

Whilst the menu is a feast for your tastebuds, the restaurant itself is a feast for the eyes. Take a seat inside their stunning Victoria-character 1918-built dining room or go alfresco in the stunningly landscaped outdoor courtyard – a tranquil spot that soaks up the summer sun. A previous winner of Manawatū’s ‘Restaurant of the Year’, Nero is a perfect pick to celebrate a special celebration, or if you simply feel like a night off cooking
