Our new Head Chef, Malcom, has created something truly special — Mt Cook Salmon Risotto, featuring what we think is the best salmon around.
Mt Cook Salmon +pumpkin + fennel & dill salad + Parmigiano Reggiano.
A beautiful combination of local flavours, freshness and comfort — and one we’re very excited to have on the menu.

Meet Mel – our new Duty Manager!
If you’re around Twizel, you may already know Mel — she’s been part of our community for the past couple of years. You’ll often spot her out and about walking her two little white dogs 🐶🐶.
Now you’ll be seeing her behind the bar at MOW, where she’ll be pulling beers, shaking up cocktails and helping keep things running smoothly.
We’re really excited to have Mel stepping into the role of Duty Manager and becoming an even bigger part of the MOW team.
Next time you’re in, make sure you say hi to Mel and grab yourself a drink!
Welcome to the team, Mel! ❤️
