Postmasters Kitchen + Bar

We visited Postmasters Kitchen for dinner on a weekday evening. The outdoor seating was full, but there was plenty of space inside, so we ended up sitting indoors. We ordered a vegetarian dish that came with falafel, pumpkin soup (soup of the day), seasonal vegetables, and cauliflower bites on the side. The food was good and we enjoyed it. The main issue was the wait time. It took over an hour for our food to arrive, and there was no heads up or updates. Service could definitely be better in that regard. Overall, it is a nice spot with decent vegetarian options, but the long wait would make us think twice about a revisit.

Sticky date pudding with ice cream was good! It was served first, and our server asked if we would like it after our dinner. She did take it back after stating our preference. However, another server came back with our mains and proclaimed "we can't take it back". There's more to it, so I suggest you talk to your servers to find out more about the ordering App and her brusque manner. The lamb was very nicely prepared and was delicious! We won't let one server affect our evening nor your ratings, but please have a word with her. 🙏

Great atmosphere and beautiful day. Fish and chips which were all good. However, the Vietnamese chicken salad was not great at all. And when we told the staff they dismissed us. When you go to a restaurant and are dissatisfied with the preparation, In this case, it was slimy chicken. One would expect some understanding or an offer for a separate meal. $39 I was disappointed & this is the first negative review I’ve posted in years.

We just kind of walked in while we were exploring Arrowtown one night, and luckily they had a table for us. We tried a bunch of stuff—the Soup of the Day, the Fish of the Day, plus a couple of appetizers and sides. Honestly, the food was tasty, and the portions sizes are fine. The only drag was the wait; it took almost a full hour for our food to show up, and nobody mentioned anything about a delay when we first got there.

We had a 6pm seating. Greeted by our lovely waitress and shown to our seats. The atmosphere is cosy and warm. The bones of the old building were still there, by way of walls being retained. This gives you an idea of how rooms were originally configured, and this layout gives multiple dining areas. The food choices on offer were all amazing. We had definitely filled our happy bellies before we left to go home. Highly recommend.

Tourists checking out the town on our departure day. Only had the Scones and a cup of Tea and Cappuccino but was nice, Scones delicious. Great littler spot to visit in Arrowtown.

The most beautiful view of Arrowtown from seats of the restaurant. We tried sticky date pudding. It was fabulous. Homemade with heaps of date. Katrina served us well. She always wears a serene smile. She is a gem in Arrowtown and a great asset to the restaurant. Everyone loves her!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Postmasters in Arrowtown! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The ambience is perfect — cozy, charming, and exactly what you hope for when enjoying a hearty meal on holiday. The food was exceptional, full of flavour and clearly made with care. Our whole family loved it, and the kids’ menu was fantastic too — great options and generous portions that our little ones really enjoyed. Overall, it was the perfect dining experience: delicious food, lovely atmosphere, and super friendly staff. We can’t wait to visit again! 🌟
