Winter at Clink: Where Fire Meets Flavour

Web Apple Pie

As the chill settles over Sumner and the waves crash a little louder against the shore, Clink transforms into a haven of warmth, flavour, and connection. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by the comforting crackle of our open fire, the gentle hum of conversation, and the unmistakable aroma of winter indulgence.

A Toast to the Season
This winter, we’re turning up the heat—literally and figuratively. Our cocktail list has embraced the elements, with smoky signatures and fiery twists that warm from the inside out. Whether it’s a mulled wine by the hearth, a port negroni or a flamed apple pie, every sip is a celebration of the season.

Cuisine to Warm the Soul
Our kitchen is embracing the heartiness of winter with dishes designed to comfort and delight. One standout this season? Our 800g Canterbury Angus Ribeye on the bone—perfect for sharing. Served with your choice of two sides and a sauce to suit your mood, it’s a showstopper built for long, lingering dinners by the fire

Welcoming Mitch Ransley & Our Evolving Team
We’re excited to introduce Mitch Ransley, our new Operational Manager, who brings over a decade of hospitality experience to Clink. With a sharp eye for detail, a passion for people, and a customer-first approach, Mitch is already making waves—streamlining service, energizing the team, and helping shape the next chapter of the Clink experience. Alongside him, you’ll notice some fresh faces on the floor and behind the bar, all bringing their own spark to the Clink family.

Coming Soon: Take a Walk on the Wild Side
Ready to shake off the winter blues? Keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming dinner and DJ collaboration: Take a Walk on the Wild Side. Expect bold flavours, unexpected pairings, and a soundtrack to match. It’s one night only, and it’s going to be unforgettable.

Whether you’re here for a quiet fireside cocktail or a delicious dinner with your favourites, Clink is your winter destination. Come closer, stay longer, and let the season surprise you.

Graze at Clink Restaurant in Sumner Village!

Early dinner special

As the nights start to cool and the lights are getting turned on earlier, we decided it was time for an early dinner special. Graze is available from 5pm till 7pm Monday to Wednesday. We think our small plates are pretty special and the sides are scrumptious so add them all together and you can graze on a little feast! Bookings are recommended – so head over to our BOOKINGS page to secure your table! 

 

Falling into Autumn

We’re not quite ready for the warm temperatures of Summer to be over however the dewy morning grass is getting us thinking about food and beverages that reflect the change in the air.

Personally I LOVE change of seasons to get inspired and with places like Pinterest and Instagram feeding our minds with beautiful pictures and endless ideas it’s easy to get excited. Pop over and have a look at what’s feeding the Clink Teams imagination.
