We’re excited to welcome Jenna and Bodie as the new owners of The Hour Glass, carrying forward the same warmth and quality the venue is known for in New Plymouth and Taranaki. A heartfelt thanks to former owners, Mark and AJ, whose vision created the lively, social spot many have enjoyed over the years. Their dedication to fantastic food and quality wines made The Hour Glass the local favourite it is today.
Jenna brings over 30 years of experience in hospitality, having worked in cafés, restaurants, and even coordinating large events like the Rugby World Cup. Her passion for creating a fun and inviting atmosphere, along with her deep knowledge of New Zealand wines, ensures that The Hour Glass will continue offering the same high-quality experience our guests have come to love. Whether you’re after a relaxed evening with friends or a special dining occasion, Jenna’s focus on quality and service shines through in every detail.
We’re also thrilled to introduce extended Sunday trading hours, opening from 12 pm, offering the perfect way to wrap up your weekend. Whether you’re in the mood for a leisurely lunch or catching up with friends over drinks, our social atmosphere and fantastic wine selection make Sundays at The Hour Glass the perfect weekend treat.
Rest assured, you can still expect the same great service and exceptional wines that have made The Hour Glass a favourite. Exciting changes are coming soon as well, with upgrades to the menu, featuring more delicious dishes that pair beautifully with our extensive wine list. Stay tuned for more updates and join us to experience the next chapter of The Hour Glass!
