Stop by and see why we exceed our customer's expectations. We are open from 11am, lunch runs until 2.30pm, with dinner service beginning from 5pm.

Summer is finally here. The long, hot, scorching summer days are just around the corner, and what better way to round off the day at the beach than with a quiet couple at Plan B on the way home. Perhaps you need to chill out at lunch? Look no further, you can chill inside in the shade, or outside in the sun drenched courtyard under an umbrella, whilst savouring the equisite Summer Menu.

Monday - Friday 11am - late

Saturday - 12noon until late

Sunday - closed

Welcome to the Nelson Summer!

Wednesday Nights is Members Night at Plan B with a great range of specials always on offer from 5pm.
We think that the working week is far too long and everyone needs a plan to survive this cruel practise. Split your working week up by treating yourself to a great night out, or just a few quiets on the way home from work every Wednesday.

There are a range of specials on offer each Wednesday including such treats as 2 for 1 Wines. Because we care about what you drink we don't have house wines, so this deal covers all of the glasses of wine on the wine list.Check out another deal, 2 for 1 Beers - again that covers all of the beer we sell. What great value! 2 for 1 - that's equivalent to half price for members!!!!
Hungry? Another of the Wednesday Member's Specials is 2 for 1 mains, what better excuse do you need to sneak out and leave the kids behind for a romantic night out on the cheap!

A couple of weeks ago the Sunday Star Times reviewer came in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon.

We are pleased to report that we got a positive review of 3.5 stars out of 5, with some very nice overall comments. 

"It's fair to say that Plan B should actually be your plan A when planning your next meal out in Nelson.
.....When I go out for a meal, it's not just the fact that I'm paying someone else to do my dishes that I love but also that I can eat something I would never cook at home. This rich, succulent duck is certainly one of those times. I'm not going to leave a morsel behind. In fact, if I had been at home I probably would have licked my plate!"
