The Smoko Room

Having moved from the original site in Leigh, the Sawmill Brewery has been turning out beer from premises just out of Matakana since February 2016. The end of July 2016 we opened the doors to visitors and locals to experience the kind of hospitality Sawmill is about - straight forward and generous.

Opening Hours

We are open 5 days a week!

Thursday to Monday (closed Tuesday & Wednesday):
From 12pm until 9.30pm* for drinks, lunch & dinner

Reservations indoors for the Smoko Room can be made for dinner from 5.30pm onwards for any number of guests. To make a reservation email smokoroom@sawmillbrewery.co.nz or call 09 422 6555 (ext. 1)

* our kitchen might close earlier on a weekday - please call 09 422 6555 (ext. 1) for up-to-date information.

WEDDINGS

Getting married in the Matakana area? If you’re after a pre-wedding meal with your guests, we can accommodate 20 – 60 people depending on the day of the week, and season. If you’re looking to hold your wedding reception at the Sawmill, we’re also open to talk about this! Again, this is dependent on day of the week, and season, and includes a hireage fee and set menu.

Please note that we aren’t wedding planners, so can’t take care of all the details on your special day – we’re here to make sure you have an amazing dining experience and great drinks. Any decorations or flowers are up to you, and if set-up is more than a couple basic bits, you’ll also need to organize staff for this, as we don’t have enough of our own. As we are a B-Corp certified business, we also request that decorations do not contain any small plastic bits (confetti, balloons etc), as these can get into the waterways near our site and have negative environmental impact. Please reach out via email and we’ll be in touch! smokoroom@sawmillbrewery.co.nz
