Remembering years gone by, we kept to the Victorian era, honouring the first adhesive postage stamp, with a bend towards the Industrial Revolution, linking us to the new Dunstan Cycle Trail.
You can find us at the start of the Dunstan Cycle Trail, while you enjoy a short stroll through the Cromwell Heritage Precinct.All are welcome.…Whether you want a delicious meal to share with friends, someone special, or just a quiet drink and a light nibble. Our motto at Penny Black is, when you meet here, your burdens are halved and joys doubled.Founded by Cromwell locals in July 2022, with desire to create a special space for All to enjoy and then joined by Chef Steve Sepsy in September 2024, with years of experience in top kitchens around New Zealand. Chef Steve promises to deliver honest, quality dishes with a Kiwi spirit. Inspired by the stunning Central Otago landscape, Steve creates a menu that embraces the essence of New Zealand's flavors.
We offer both indoor and outdoor seating... depending on the weather. Our dining is casual, seating options ranging from bar leaners, table seating and cocktail bar style seating.
