Farm bred - Quarry bar and restaurant


Resene PaintsA field of grazing cows surrounded by motorway, city streets and the hum of the central North Shore in Auckland seems an incongruous memory since the Smales Farm Technology Park has sprung up and became part of the city streetscape. And where there are people access to good quality food is a necessary accompaniment that must follow.

Quarry is Takapuna’s newest bar and restaurant offering a menu comprising gourmet pizzas, steaks, platters and dessert and an extensive list of beverages. And in a pleasant change for a busy city, the Smales Farm development includes plenty of carparking out front. Housed in a new building developed by Smales Farm, the 150 square metre Quarry Bar and Restaurant fit-out started from a base of paperfaced plasterboard and hollow core standard doors. Surfaces are finished in Resene Environmental Choice Resene Lumbersider waterborne satin and Resene Enamacryl gloss waterborne enamel.

Mood and ambiance were created with a palette of Resene Akaroa (pebble grey), Resene Mondo (complex grey green), Resene Black White (grey white) and Resene Aubergine (deep wine red), chosen to complement the other special finishes, such as stone cladding and rusted metal panels, featured in the space. A pairing of Resene colours was used on the dropped ceiling bulkheads to enhance and accentuate the recessed areas, which are home to the lighting. The mood is further enhanced by the larger than life energetic personalities of owners Richard and Gordon.

Incorporating a Heineken premium quality concept bar, you can watch the city go by and enjoy a Heineken, go local with your favourite native brew or restock your energy supplies with the menu.
