About Hanging Ditch
Hanging Ditch brings pub food and drinks to the Te Aro area, making it a handy stop for anyone eating out in Wellington. It sits right in the heart of Wellington, within walking distance of the centre.
Expect the flavours of New Zealand: at pub food and drinks venues like this, favourites such as wedges and beer-battered fish are usually on the menu. With 134 pub & bar dining options across Wellington, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.
Hanging Ditch opens 3 days a week and is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The earliest start is 3 pm on Fridays, and the latest finish is midnight on Fridays. It stays open late on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which is handy after a show or a late flight. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 50 hours each week.
As a rough guide, expect to spend about $20–$40 a head at a bar like this. The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
