South Canterbury on the Move
Ginger and Garlic – Jason Cleverley

Jason and Kerina bought ginger & garlic restaurant four years ago, after searching for hospitality opportunities throughout the South Island.

The sparkling view over Caroline Bay from the upstairs restaurant left no doubt in their minds.

As well as the fantastic views and stunning ambiance, g&g already had a name for quality. Our plan was to increase this name to a level where we could call ourselves “Timaru’s premier fine dining destination.”

Working towards this goal, we have been awarded The 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009 Hallmark Excellence awards for ‘the highest culinary standard in Beef and Lamb.’ Also the Meridian Business Excellence Award 2006 - Hospitality section.  

Over the last four years, Kerina has modified and adapted her menu to satisfy both the local palette and the avid traveller. When asked to sum up her menu, she replies… “A kiwi-ana menu with a touch of zest”

What’s does the future hold for g&g? "We continue to strive to offer Timaru & South Canterbury's premier dining destination."  

With a continually adapting menu & wine list. A team with knowledge and passion;  our dreams are becoming reality.

Our new Cafe/Cocktail lounge is now open.
