About Provisions of Arrowtown
Provisions fills a historic miner's cottage on Buckingham Street, the main street of the old gold-mining town of Arrowtown, with a garden around it for outdoor tables. It works as a neighborhood café as much as a visitor stop, cooking seasonal dishes from local produce and baking its own treats for the cabinet.
The café opens every day from 8am to 4pm. The kitchen serves food until 3pm, and the drinks license starts at 9am. The dish the café puts up front is its Miners Burger: wagyu beef from the Ōhau area on a brioche bun with bacon, smoked cheddar, bone marrow, truffle mayo, pickles and gem lettuce. There is also an all-day menu, cabinet food, and plenty of plant-based dishes, with gluten-free and vegan options.
Drinks include espresso coffee, Central Otago wines and locally brewed beer and cider. The local tourism listings describe it as child-friendly and dog-friendly, and the Arrowtown visitor directory lists it as accessible. Because it is on the main street, it is easy to pair with a walk past the town's restored cottages and shops.
Ben Lomond Lavender is on Malaghans Road, about 15 minutes west toward Arthurs Point. It opens from October to April by appointment only and charges an entry fee, so book your field visit first and plan lunch at Provisions around it.
