A new dining experience is being launched in the ski resort town of Methven this winter. At 2086 metres above sea level, iconic Canterbury ski area Mt Hutt is to host a series of public dinner functions aptly named ‘Dinner with the Stars’. By day the Mt Hutt restaurant serves hearty breakfasts and lunches to thousands of hungry skiers and boarders but now, recognizing the opportunity for a special dining experience in Methven, ski area owner NZSki Limited will make the restaurant available on Friday evenings throughout winter. Held in the cozy Huber’s Hutt, the dinners will include not only a hearty winter’s meal but also the dramatic starry skies and night-time alpine atmosphere every Friday night. They start in July.
