Here are our current sauces & jams to choose from:

1 / 'Tutti Frutti' Hot Sauce

We reckon chilli has a lot of fruity flavour to it. To complement this, we've mixed chilli with nectarine, pineapple juice and mango. It’s The Bowling Club’s signature hot sauce that really lifts a meal. It is not overpoweringly hot, but flavoursome & full-bodied.

2 / 'Cheryaki' Sauce

Cheryaki is a cherry teriyaki. Kind of like a cross between plum sauce and teriyaki. We take Central Otago cherries & plums and mix it with miso, toasted sesame seeds, ginger, and Chinese five spice. Plus a little chilli. The result is a tangy and delicious dipping sauce that is fantastic on meats.

3 / Beetroot Relish

Your classic beet-relish. Thick grated beetroot with a little onion, homemade apple cider vinegar, herbs and horseradish. We've added chia seed to thicken it up!

4 / Caramelised Onion & Balsamic Jam

To make this batch, we roasted 120kg of onions for four hours in our oven. Then, we added it to the pot with apple puree, balsamic vinegar & a little rosemary. We've snuck in a bit of our ‘Szechuan chilli paste’ to give it some warmth and savouriness.

5 / Tomato & Balsamic Ketchup

A great little sauce that adds tang and savouriness to your meal. It's not like any old ketchup… you can add it to your meat or chips and not ruin a gourmet meal. It's ketchup, but fancy.

6 / Roasted Kūmara & Sweet Corn Relish

This relish seems unorthodox, but it's fantastic. The roasted kūmara & sweetcorn complement each other perfectly. We've added peach to enhance the fruitiness of the kūmara, and jalapeño to tie it all together. Chuck it in a sammie, serve it with corn fritters, or bang it on a toastie!

7 / Apricot, Apple & Banana Jam

All made from fruit processed at The Bowling Club + sugar. Nothing else. A lovely apricot-based jam with banana to give it a fruity lift.

8 / Nectarine, Kiwifruit, Blueberry & Blackcurrant Jam

A beautiful jam with a tang. Excellent on toast & scones or dolloped on natural yoghurt. Made with local fruit and sugar… nothing else. 

9 / Mulled Cherry Jam

Think mulled wine, but in jam form. Cherries spiced with cloves, allspice, cardamom, ginger & cinnamon. Plum gives it a perfect tang. The kiwifruit & apple provide pectin to allow the jam to set.

IMPORTANT: All sauces may contain traces of dairy, cashew, peanuts, sesame, soy and gluten due to the equipment being used.

Here are our current muesli favours to choose from:

1 / Fruit & Honey Muesli

Our classic muesli. Southland oats coated in Kamahi honey and coconut butter. Canterbury linseeds, sunflower seeds, cranberries & dates are mixed in. Cornflakes for crunch & a drizzle of date syrup for sweetness.

2 / Ginger & Turmeric Muesli

We used to eat a ginger & turmeric granola when we lived in the states. We loved it. So, we made our own here in Ōtepoti. We take our standard muesli base but use more date syrup instead of honey, and mix in powdered turmeric and ginger. We also add crystallised ginger for extra warmth.

3 / Hazelnut & Dark Chocolate Muesli

We love this one because it is made from hazelnuts grown in Oamaru. Allison & Ralph are such a lovely couple in their 80's who started a hazelnut grove as a 'retirement project.' We think their hazelnuts are beautiful, so we made a muesli out of them. We mix in a little Ocho Chocolate too.

4 / Cinnamon, Raisin & Walnut Muesli

These flavours just feel right together. Our fruit & honey muesli base… with added cinnamon and raisins instead of cranberries. We sprinkle walnuts in at the end to complete a beautiful muesli!

IMPORTANT: All  our mueslis contain gluten. Some flavours contain nuts. They may all contain traces of hazelnut & walnut due to the equipment being used.
