What a find! Absolutely stoked that a business like Balter Bar & Kitchen can be found in small town NZ.The service is second to none but the food, well it's as good as any southern, bbq joint we've ever had. Anywhere! This is high quality Kai. Absolutely scrumptious. From the ceviche to the chicken, brisket or Mac 'n cheese. Can't wait to fine again.

Stunning food, excellent staff.A real gem amongst the regular restaurants you find in the region.The team at Balter are making food you will not be replicating at home, in a cosy and friendly environment.Make sure you take their recommendations on their signature dishes, flaming cheese does exactly what it says on the tin and the flavours are fantastic.If you have a sweet tooth, this lot will see to it that you will never want to leave.They cater for all food allergies, even whipped up a brand new dessert for me when they found their existing selection wouldn’t suit me.Cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Beautiful food! I had the salmon bruschetta and partner had the smoked beef brisket eggs Benedict. We both thought it was the best meal we have purchased in a long long time. Would recommend this place very much! And would definitely go back

Absolutely delicious and extremely enjoyable experience at Balter Kitchen. A lucky find when passing through Carterton, excellent service, friendly staff, delicious high end food, craft beer and cider. Caters well to vegetarians and plenty of meat to choose from. The flaming cheese entree is a win. Highly recommend

I'm sitting in front of Balter's comfortable fireplace while I write this.It's easy to drive past Balter if you don't know it's here because it has a narrow frontage. Don't miss it! -- it's huge inside, with a fantastic menu.The proprietors are really friendly, and the food is delicious. I can recommend their Eggs Benedict and their Fried Chicken Burger. The chef has a way of selecting intriguing flavors to accompany the food.Their menu will be expanding into new areas soon. I will definitely be back to try it out.This isn't Fast Food, so make sure you leave yourself time to enjoy the experience. Menu prices are very reasonable, for what you get.Balter is a great reason to visit Carterton.

A fantastic looking place with a great atmosphere, this place has all the right things going for it from a presentation aspect.Unfortunately the food really does let them down, the pork ribs literally numbered at 3 ribs for +$40 and didn't taste great, the half chicken was really plain considering the sauce, pork belly had chewy skin and tasted boiled, w didn't even eat half of the starter, and finally the mac n cheese was from a packet. On the flip side the salads and chips were really great, excellent flavor.I was really looking forward to a smoke house type meal which the menu and atmosphere sold me on, 2 stars because the food is what got me through the door but didn't deliver.

Was in Carterton area for a week and a half and was compelled to visit this amazing place on more than one occasionThe smoked meats made it an absolute definite to at least try but after visiting the first time we were hooked to the flavour as well as the warmth the staff showed us. The brisket really did deliver and I also enjoyed breakfast there on more than 1 occasion. Shout out to the chefs that deliver the amazing tastes that this place prides itself onWas even able to find them at the local balloon glow fest that same week and got a chance to try them again….the stuff that comes out that smoker is to DIE for…Thanks a lot we will definitely like to come back somedayCheers Balter Bar!

Nice big space, when we arrived it was empty but got almost full before we left, the caramel latte I ordered wasn't too sweet, which I totally loved. The place in general felt humid and cold since they didn't have any heater running but they put it on before we left, kids friendly, enough space if you're bringing a pram
