HOME GROWN

Things don’t travel very far before you eat them at Sherwood. On a piece of land that was covered with bracken, a few wilding pines and an abandoned kitchen sink, we created a large vegetable garden, which we farm under organic principles. It changes the way we cook: growing seasons in Queenstown are shorter because of our southerly position, so particular varieties of plants come and go very quickly, and we have to take advantage of that.

Sherwood 1s4 copy
IF WE CAN'T GROW IT OR FORAGE FOR IT, WE BUY IT LOCALLY

LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE

We gather produce from all over Central Otago – wild thyme and rosemary, highly fragrant and full of flavour from the craggy hills of the Kawarau Gorge, Birch Bolette mushrooms from a secret spot somewhere above Lake Hayes, elderflower, fruit, nuts and berries from trees that grow wild around the basin, many planted by early settlers in a bid to give themselves something to eat.

A SENSE OF PLACE

We draw inspiration from the landscapes we call home. The ingredients, flavours, colours and textures of our food and drink reflect the changing seasons and we look forward to welcoming you in.

Chris Scott

Chris has called Queenstown home for almost a decade after growing up in the Waikato where he completed his chefs training before scoring a scholarship to work in UK hotels. He went through the Michelin system in Europe before eventually coming home to NZ via Australia and a few stop overs there to further hone his skills in some of Melbourne's top eateries.

Back in the Waikato, Chris set up his own restaurant, Zinc Bar & Eatery with his wife Hayley which they ran together for six years before making the move to Queenstown where Chris became the Executive Chef at Josh Emett's restaurant, Rata.

Chris's style and ethos has always been connected to plants so when the opportunity arose to helm the Sherwood kitchen and its sizeable organic kitchen garden he jumped at the chance and made the switch.

"Having access to the garden and the chance to influence what we grow in it is amazing" he says. "The versatility it offers is huge in a creative sense."

The menu that Chris has created at Sherwood is hyper-seasonal and based around sustainability and what is grown in the garden. "There's a focus on well-being at Sherwood and the food is a significant part of that."

Having just been awarded Two Hats in The Cuisine Good Food Guide Awards for 2021/2022 Chris has certainly made an impact on the Otago dining scene and we invite you to come in and taste it for yourself.
