Slow Cuts

Located in the heart of Arrowtown, Slow Cuts is a sanctuary for those who treasure the art of a perfectly shaped burger and the joy of slow-cooked meats. It boasts an atmosphere as warm as the scent of grilling beef, with décor that’s both rustic and modern, telling stories of incredible eats to every visitor who walks in.

At Slow Cuts, the vibe stays relaxed while the food does all the talking, where even a humble burger transforms into a mouthwatering masterpiece worth savouring.

Burgers are the main event, and each one is a celebration of flavour. The classic cheeseburger, stacked with a juicy beef patty and sweet maple jam, pays tribute to timeless cravings, while the buttermilk fried chicken burger brings a bold kick with chipotle aioli and mango salsa. Vegetarians are in for a treat with a clever red lentil and paneer patty, paired with tangy tomato kasundi and a refreshing cucumber and peanut salsa, a dish that highlights the chef’s playful creativity. For a true taste of Aotearoa, the lamb burger delivers with a spiced lamb patty and melty mozzarella, offering a delicious nod to local flavours and top-notch Kiwi produce.

But the menu goes far beyond burgers. Slow cuts and steaks take centre stage with hearty picks like the Yucatan chicken quesadilla, loaded with grilled capsicum, a cheesy duo, and guacamole — a full-on fiesta served on a plate.

To elevate the meal, the team is ready with spot-on sips, from crisp local craft beers to elegant wines — each pick designed to complement every rich and savoury bite with ease.
