Embrace Winter Warmth at Fork and Tap Arrowtown

There’s something magical about winter in Arrowtown. The historic streets glisten with frost, and the hills wear a shimmering white coat, inviting you to seek shelter and warmth. At Fork and Tap, we’ve designed our pub to be your winter sanctuary. Picture stepping inside from the brisk air and being greeted by the crackle and warmth of our open fires, the scent of slow-cooked dishes wafting from the kitchen, and the gentle hum of friendly conversation all around you.

Our team knows how to make winter special. We’ve stocked up on rich, velvety mulled wine, infused with warming spices and simmered to perfection. Whether you’re wrapped up with a good book, catching up with friends, or playing a board game with family, there’s always a cozy nook waiting for you. And let’s not forget our hearty menu–from our famous Guinness pie to steaming bowls of homemade soup, each dish is crafted to comfort and satisfy.

But what truly sets Fork and Tap apart is the sense of belonging. Even on the coldest nights, you’ll find familiar faces and welcoming smiles. Our regulars chat over pints, newcomers quickly become friends, and the laughter that rings out across the bar is the perfect antidote to winter’s chill. We invite you to linger a little longer and make yourself at home.

Cozy Fireside Nights and Exciting Weekly Events Await

This week, we’re turning up the warmth with a line-up of special events designed to lift your spirits. On Thursday night, we’re hosting our beloved Irish music night—a tradition that brings the lively sounds of fiddles and bodhráns to our fireside corners. The pub fills with the toe-tapping rhythms of traditional reels and ballads, and before long, you’ll find yourself clapping along or even joining in a chorus. It’s an evening where strangers become friends, and the music carries you away from the winter outside.

Friday afternoons are all about bringing the community together for lunch. Our two-for-one lunch special means you can bring a mate, share your favourite dish, and indulge in a well-deserved break without breaking the bank. Imagine tucking into a plate of hot, crispy fish and chips or a steaming seasonal stew while the glow of the fire dances across the room. It’s the simple pleasures—good food, good company, and a warm seat—that make winter days something to look forward to.

Of course, the backdrop to all these events is the unmistakable ambiance of Fork and Tap. The wooden beams, historic brickwork, and flickering candlelight create an atmosphere that’s both rustic and inviting. There’s always a friendly face behind the bar ready to recommend a local craft beer or pour you another mulled wine. This winter, let us be your place to unwind, connect, and celebrate the season’s best moments.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Fork and Tap Arrowtown this winter. Whether you’re drawn by the promise of lively music, delicious food, or just the comfort of a fireside seat, our doors—and our hearts—are open. Come in from the cold, share a story or two, and make some new memories with us. See you by the fire!
