Just minutes away from the heart of beautiful Ashburton, The Lake House offers a warm, welcoming take on modern dining. Blending comfort with a refined edge, it celebrates bold flavours and thoughtful, house-made touches. Here, every dish is crafted for sharing and savouring, carrying you effortlessly from the first taste to the final bite.

Pizzas lead the charge, whether it is BBQ pork belly with slow-cooked richness and house-made BBQ sauce, or a spicy pepperoni number riding a rich tomato base with capsicum and oozy mozzarella. Starters nod to pub classics given care and crunch: salt and pepper squid ready to meet garlic aioli, and Southern-style fried chicken tenderloins that are all crisp shell and tender centre.

Hearty mains keep the comfort coming. Think braised lamb shank over creamy mash with pan-fried vegetables and a silky mushroom sauce, or a beer battered fish with a garden salad and golden fries. Freshness steps in with burgers delivered and stacked to your satisfaction, from a classic laden with bacon and pickles to crumbed chicken with coleslaw and chipotle mayo.

Easy-going and welcoming, it suits quick catch-ups as much as unhurried suppers. Gather friends, follow the aroma, and let The Lake House do the hosting.
