Grovetown Country Hotel Grovetown Hotel is undergoing an exciting transformation by going back in time to its historic roots. Owners Damian Johnson and Chinami Harada have owned the Hotel for four years. It has been a goal for the couple to restore some of the hotel’s “old school” practices and to provide a destination for beer and food enthusiasts. When Damian first purchased the hotel he researched its history and found that in the 1860’s it operated its own brewery, malt house and slaughter house. This gave him the inspiration to resurrect the brewery side of the business and he is now in the process of building a boutique brewery behind the hotel. “We are working towards the idea of being a brew pub where we will grow our own hops and brew our own beer which will only be sold onsite. “It will be something unique and different, a point of difference for us,” he said. Already the Grovetown Hotel has 10 local craft beers on tap and often guest beers from Nelson and the Golden Bay areas. Because Chinami is Japanese there
is a strong kiwi/asian fusion in the menu, something which has proved a hit amongst diners. The food is a seasonal menu that is often changing in the pursuit to discover the perfect match with craft beer. Ingredients are fresh and much of it is grown organically in a garden onsite. “This emphasises the direction we are moving in, being self sufficient by growing our own produce and brewing our own beer,” Damian said. Complimenting the beer and menu is the relaxed, family friendly atmosphere where everyone from young and old through to wine and beer enthusiasts are welcome to dine, enjoy a drink or unwind with a coffee. “We have our locals who have come every day for 56 years who mix in with the businessmen, wino’s, families and young crowds. This sets a great atmosphere and has created a unique culture here at Grovetown Hotel,” he said.
