The Angus Restaurant & Bar sits at 5 Cornwall Street in Lower Hutt, with a second entrance from Bloomfield Terrace. It occupies part of The Angus, a building that has been a fixture of Lower Hutt hospitality for decades and has served the community in various forms over that time. The restaurant comprises a spacious conservatory dining room and a large bar area.
The kitchen serves breakfast and dinner seven days: breakfast from 7:00am to 10:00am and dinner from 4:30pm, with Sunday trading running 7am to 9pm. Published menus cover breakfast, dinner, a kids' menu, a group set menu and drinks. The restaurant states that it works with selected suppliers who prioritise seasonal produce, and positions its food as honest and grounded rather than elaborate. The bar runs a varied drinks list alongside the food menu, and a rotating programme of daily dinner deals operates through the week.
Private events and functions. This is where The Angus is most relevant to meetings and events work. The restaurant markets relaxed function spaces with flexible layouts and takes event enquiries directly. Beyond the restaurant itself, Events at The Angus operates four private function and meeting spaces in the same building, supported by an in-house events team. The venue also runs a seasonal Christmas programme covering Christmas Day lunch, festive functions and party nights. The conservatory, bar and dining spaces are described as designed for everything from breakfast meetings through to evening events.
The Angus is part of a wider group of connected venues under one roof. The refurbished Carnmore Hotel Lower Hutt provides accommodation on site, and a further bar, The Hutt, is signalled as coming, with renovations continuing through 2026. That combination of dining, function rooms and accommodation in a single building is uncommon in Lower Hutt.
For MICE planners, The Angus is a genuine multi-purpose option: breakfast meetings, delegate dining, team dinners, board lunches, conference dinners and end-of-year functions, with the ability to pair an event space with rooms on site. Bookings and event enquiries are handled by phone on 04 560 1100 or through the venue's contact form. For comparable options across the region, see Wellington venues.
