Flames on Forty Restaurant & Bar occupies the entrance to The Hotel Nelson, but it operates as a public restaurant rather than a dining room reserved for overnight guests. Tables can be booked for breakfast or dinner, with indoor and outdoor seating available for couples, families and work groups. The menu favours familiar food given enough detail to feel considered, and the bar allows a visit to begin with a quiet drink or continue after the meal without leaving the venue.

Dinner can start with local artisan ciabatta or move directly into a varied small-plate section. Salt-and-pepper squid and chilli-caramel pork belly bring crispness and heat, while chicken sliders use bacon jam and smoked cheese for a richer combination. Seafood chowder gathers smoked fish, scallops, prawns, mussels and salmon around a creamy base. New Zealand lamb kofta comes with garlic yoghurt and herbs, and slow-braised brisket bao adds apple and fennel slaw, pickled onion and spiced almonds.

The large plates balance comfort with more composed restaurant cooking. Fish and fries keeps one choice straightforward, while lamb shank arrives with mash, carrots, red-wine gravy and kumara crisps. Bacon-wrapped chicken, pork ribs and the market fish each take a different route through the menu's meat and seafood range. Spinach and pumpkin gnocchi, baked with tomato, local mozzarella and parmesan, gives vegetarian diners a substantial main, while aged ribeye anchors the grill section for a classic steak dinner.

Breakfast gives the restaurant a different rhythm, moving from eggs and omelettes to eggs Benedict, a full cooked breakfast, Belgian waffles and house-made granola. Coffee, tea and smoothies round out the morning menu. In the evening, dessert might be a sundae, local cheeseboard, pear-and-apple crumble, sticky date pudding, brûlée or cheesecake. A dedicated children's package and clearly identified vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options help mixed groups dine together without reducing the adults' menu to the safest common choice.
