The Captain's Table is the licensed restaurant of the Foveaux Hotel, a small art deco bed-and-breakfast hotel at 40 Gore Street, Bluff — New Zealand's southernmost port town and the gateway to Stewart Island, a short walk from the Stewart Island ferry terminal.
The restaurant serves the hotel's guests and the public seven days a week, with continental breakfast, lunch (Friday–Sunday, midday–2pm) and dinner (nightly, 6pm–8pm). The menu is à la carte with an emphasis on seafood, reflecting Bluff's fishing-port setting, alongside a range of other dishes and a wine list.
The Foveaux Hotel itself is a small property with eight guest rooms, run as a bed and breakfast. Its scale means the restaurant functions primarily as an intimate, locally run dining room rather than a large-scale function venue; it does not publish separate private-dining or banqueting facilities beyond its regular service.
The building has documented heritage value: it is an art deco hotel built in 1937, giving it a distinct architectural character on Bluff's foreshore.
For MICE purposes, the Captain's Table and the wider Foveaux Hotel suit small groups — meeting delegates or incentive travellers extending a South Island itinerary to Bluff or Stewart Island — rather than large conference dinners, offering a genuine, small-town seafood dining experience in a heritage building close to the ferry terminal.
