The Sherwood's kitchen team takes inspiration from its beautiful surrounds and the bounty offered up by the changing seasons. A deep connection with nature and our surrounds defines the food at Sherwood and the spirit of Alice Waters looms large.
Their recently planted kitchen garden and orchard are set to provide a steady flow of fresh, flavour filled, organic produce from which the ingredients required for each service are harvested.
Along with ingredients foraged on their morning walks they collaborate with local farms and independent growers to bring you the finest sustainable produce that our region has to offer.
This same philosophy extends to their bar and wine programme where the very best of New Zealand’s independent producers are shown alongside rare and obscure gems from artisans around the world.
They work with boutique and family owned wine producers and specialise in natural wine that describes a sense of place and time.
The cocktail list also reflects the seasons and celebrates the scents, textures and memories of our favourite moments and places.

Excellent food, a few good options but slightly limited for vegetarians. A very complete wine list. The menu and wine list need to be explained which must be annoying for the staff on every table every day :-)
Jez Whitaker - dined at Sherwood on 18 December 2018
The Sherwood was beautiful, the food delicious and service excellent. It has a seasonal menu, largely stocked from the garden which we went for a walk through after eating. The menu is designed for sharing and we split the pesto pasta, mussels and grilled broccoli which was perfect for lunch for 2. Alongside these we enjoyed the "natural" wines on offer - sourced straight from the vineyard. We will definitely be back.
Madeleine de Young - dined at Sherwood on 14 December 2018
Absolute perfection! We were sat on a table that looked out at the gorgeous view, the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. We were staying at the Sherwood and ended up dining there twice more during our stay! Highly recommend!

Food was great and lovely cocktails, service was even better. Joshua was our waiter and he was just amazing. He tried to help me to find a wine that I would like and he ended up serving me an amazing and very sweet cocktail, he also helped us with the menu and suggestions. I would definitely come back!

Great as always. Different fresh flavours
Honor Marie Mathieson - dined at Sherwood on 9 November 2018
Beautiful evening spent at the Sherwood. The venison was a delicious smokey, melt in your mouth dish, which we had with warm sourdough, house cured salmon and twice cooked potatoes - and were all perfect. The service was nice and low-key. We will be re-booing in the very near future. 11/10 thanks again guys!

It was my birthday and so a family lunch was planned. Our two children were welcomed and happy, we ordered lots to share and our son loved the beef and mussels! Thank you Sherwood! The setting, the ambiance, that view!
Joni Salles - dined at Sherwood on 13 August 2018
It was our first time in sherwood and we love it all! from the service to the the essence of the whole place! The food was stunning, very tasty and beautifully plated. It is good to know everything is organic and grow in their own garden! Recommended 100%
Gise Guerrero - dined at Sherwood on 9 August 2018
After finding you!!! We enjoyed our lunch and surroundings and generous portions
Alf Bell - dined at Sherwood on 7 August 2018
Wow! I have to say, that was one of the best meals I have eaten in a very long time, absolutely perfectly delicious. The flavours were exquisite and so different to what you find anywhere else. I have dined at Sherwood previously for dinner, but I think I might be a convert to lunch, not because the food is better at lunch but simply because in daylight you get to see your food, are not distracted by alcohol and can really taste each flavour. I couldn't recommend it more. Amazing. Thanks to First Table for encouraging us to get out more and try new restaurants.
Caroline Abbiss - dined at Sherwood on 1 August 2018
Waitress explained the menu on offer. Food was nice, we tried the soup for starters which was delicious. For main had the chicken and beef dishes with a brussel sprouts and bacon side dish. No room left for a sweet! All very nice, would go again.
Alan Garrett - dined at Sherwood on 31 July 2018

Great tasting food
Sam Macaulay - dined at Sherwood on 23 July 2018
Warm, cosy, wait staff friendly and knowledgeable, our party really wanted dessert, staff provided menu but did not return to table for order, we left without dessert and coffee. It seemed to us that they were one or two wait staff short to meet demands of diners.
Our main was very good. Would recommend.
Carol Jackson - dined at Sherwood on 17 July 2018

Mery FE - dined at Sherwood on 30 May 2018
From the moment we walked in, we loved everything about the Sherwood. Beautiful restaurant, stunning views from our table and the staff were top class. So helpful and kind and knew the menu inside out. I've never experienced this kind of service before in Queenstown.
The food was such great quality, we loved our main dishes above everything else we tried.
Would highly recommend. Thank you to the staff for such an enjoyable evening.
Ellen Mc Dermott - dined at Sherwood on 31 May 2018
Great food and great service!
Mussels were fresh, beef steak and chicken was really tender and tasty. Had brussels sprout for side dish and it was nicely done as well.
Will definitely come back again!
Victoria Wang - dined at Sherwood on 2 May 2018
Fabulous!!!! We had fresh bread as a starter which we remembered from last time that we loved. Same this time. Their bbq chicken was the best chicken I’ve ever had and ribeye steak was fantastic too. The autumn menu is a treat!
Lenka Galbova Isaac Harrison - dined at Sherwood on 1 May 2018

Kirsty Cutler - dined at Sherwood on 23 April 2018
Fantastic, really enjoyed the whole experience!
Leah Harper - dined at Sherwood on 19 April 2018
Great night at Sherwood - food was yummy, seasonal and many items from their gardens. They made a big deal of the aged beef which was yummy but the hype ended up making it feel a little lack luster - tasty and a good dish but didn't rock my world :) The staff were lovely although we had to ask to place our order then at the end of our meal got asked (very politely I might say) if we could move as they had others waiting for our table. There were other tables available in the restaurant so although it was a "nicer" table we were a little surprised to be asked to move. Not a biggy and overall we did have a fabulous night.
Kirsty Tennnet - dined at Sherwood on 12 April 2018
Great place with great food!
Sam Macaulay - dined at Sherwood on 5 April 2018
As always Sherwood didn't disappoint. The service and food is always excellent and we always have a great experience.
We started with the pate which is delicious and we highly recommend this dish.
We tried the BBQ chicken for our main, wow, it was amazing! Along with pickled vegetables and the pumpkin and greens sides, you can't go wrong!
Creme brûlée for dessert - perfection.
The cocktails are great too and definitely worth trying.
We'll be back many more times!
Kyla Page - dined at Sherwood on 3 April 2018
Nina (our waitress) was an outstanding host and made us feel very welcome.
It was a particularly busy evening but the service (and food) was fabulous.
I turned up with my infant son and Nina not only accommodated us comfortably and provided a toy for my son but she also made sure we were inclusive of the whole dining experience. Thank you Sherwood for a lovely evening.
Jennie Whitlock - dined at Sherwood on 1 March 2018
Nice dining experience at The Sherwood amazing views and they were super accommodating for the kids. The portions were a little small but the food was delicious.
Nadine Peck - dined at Sherwood on 22 February 2018
This place has such a balance of amazing food and amazing service that compliments each other so well. And to top it off the surrounding is lovely! All of our dishes were stand out! Every time i come here I am in awe of my experience. I came with two friends who had never been there and both of them said after that this was their new favorite restaurant!
Would highly recommend Sherwood for any occasion!
Meg Gillming - dined at Sherwood on 13 February 2018
We had a nice time. Service was great, super friendly staff and good atmosphere. Starter (chicken liver pate) was delicious, main course (venison) was a bit overcooked aswell as side (grilled corn), but dessert (vanilla brulee) was fantastic - maybe a bit bigger would be better. Definitely will come back again and recommend to others aswell.
