The Pig Station
About
The Pig Station serves South Island diners from its base in Invercargill, the southernmost city in New Zealand. 2 Leven Street, Invercargill 9810, New Zealand is the address to give a driver. A rating of 4.6 out of 5, drawn from 300 reviews, reflects how consistently visitors respond to the food and the setting. Reaching Invercargill from Queenstown or Dunedin is straightforward by road, and the city sits within reach of Te Anau and Wanaka for those touring the lower South Island.
The restaurant operates as a dining spot rather than a takeaway counter, with table service and a menu built around the region's produce. New Zealand cooking features lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish, and the country's long, narrow shape means almost nowhere is far from the sea. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. Rugby union is followed closely nationwide, and the national team plays in black.
A Facebook page at facebook.com/pigstation carries the venue's updates. Christchurch and Nelson sit further up the island for anyone linking a meal here into a longer South Island route. Blenheim and Kaikoura round out the main towns within the island's network.
Invercargill anchors the southern end of South Island, with Dunedin the nearest of the larger centres to the north-east. Visitors travelling between Queenstown and the coast often pass through, making the restaurant a natural stop rather than a detour.
