Tirohana Cellars Restaurant is proud to have received the New Zealand Beef and Lamb Hallmark of Excellence in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012

"We are delighted to announce that you have received the 2009 New Zealand Beef and Lamb Hallmark of Excellence, which recognises quality in preparation and presentation of your main course beef and lamb dishes. The dish 'Panseared fillet of beef with a spring vegetable medley, lyonnaise potatoes and red wine jus' was praised by assessors for the perfectly cooked and trimmed, lean and tender beef, lovely marriage of flavours and excellent presentation. Colour and texture contrasts were outstanding. This was a superbly constructed entry, showcasing exemplary dish components, professional technique and meticulous presentation."

"We are delighted to advise that you have received the 2010 New Zealand Beef and Lamb Hallmark of Excellence, which recognizes quality in preparation and presentation of your main course beef and lamb dishes. Your dish, texel Lamb shank, with feta and mint salsa, smashed minted peas, baby gourmet potatoes, and wine jus was highly praised by assessors for the trimmed, lean and flavoursome lamb, perfectly cooked and meltingly tender. This dish was beautifully presented and very well considered, with outstanding flavour pathways. A superb dish and a credit to the kitchen. Congratulations".
