The owners are also raising their own pigs and will cure their meat for the menu.
Arbour Bar became popular with Lyttelton locals in post-earthquake Christchurch as a quirky pizza pop-up that surfaced on warm days during summer.
After a three-year hiatus, it is returning as one of the first fully commercial builds in Lyttelton since the quakes. The building includes a completely clear roof and unique plant design as its arborist owners aim to make it feel like a giant glasshouse.
Lyttelton couple Megan and Ra Hancox-Hammer are behind the restaurant with help from Ra’s brother, Mario Fichtner.
The trio hope to open in mid-December after the build, which started at the end of last year, was delayed by Covid-19 and then hampered by heavy rain.

Allegations of “Trump-style” politics and “despicable” actions have beset a Christchurch community board as members of the Labour-aligned People’s Choice move to oust the board’s chairwoman.

Five People’s Choice members of the Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote board – including city councillors Jake McLellan and Yani Johanson – have written to Christchurch City Council chief executive Dawn Baxendale outlining their intention to hold a vote on November 30 to remove chairwoman Alexandra Davids.
The move came less than a month after People’s Choice member Sunita Gautam was elected to the board in a by-election following the death of long-time member Sally Buck.
Gautam’s win gives People’s Choice a majority on the nine-person board. The Local Government Act says a vote to remove a chairperson can be called for if the majority of members support it.
Buck stepped down from the chairwoman role in April and one of her last actions was to vote for Davids as her replacement as chairwoman.
McLellan said Davids and many other members always understood another vote would be needed after the by-election.
But Davids and the other three independent members on the board – Cr Sara Templeton, Tim Lindley and Darrell Latham – said there was no such understanding.
Templeton labelled the antics as nothing more than “people playing politics” when they should be getting on with the job of advocating on behalf of the community.
Latham said he was “saddened and incredibly disappointed” in the actions of the other five board members.
“This Trump, ‘lets roll them’, political style has no place nor is it befitting of a community board working to do the best for the Linwood-Central-Heathcote communities.”
Lindley said the actions of the five were “despicable and disgraceful”.
He had high expectations of Davids and she had exceeded those, he said.

In Banks Peninsula 51 per cent of voters backed cannabis legalisation, while in Christchurch Central and Christchurch East it was 54 per cent.
The preliminary results of the cannabis referendum, released on Friday October 30, showed 53.1 per cent of voters said “no” to a question of whether the Government should legislate to legalise recreational cannabis.
In the suburbs of Ilam and Wigram, 53 per cent and 51 per cent voted no.
In the mid-Canterbury electorates there was a more resounding response, with Selwyn (58.9 per cent) and Waimakariri (58.3 per cent) voting no.
Christchurch Central’s 54 per cent backing of cannabis reform contrasts with Wellington Central, where 72 per cent voted yes.
And in Auckland Central – where Green Party drug reform spokeswoman Chloe Swarbrick is the MP – 67 per cent of people voted yes.

The facility will provide accommodation for up to 40 people in need, aged 16 to 24. Most will stay from three to 18 months at a time, providing they are involved in formal education or actively looking for work.
In a decision released on Monday, commissioner Ken Lawn ultimately decided the city-wide community benefits of the hub “marginally outweigh” adverse effects on neighbours, despite his view that the facility would be inconsistent with the district plan.

Akaroa’s cumulative rainfall this year is the lowest it has been in a decade, putting extra pressure on the town’s water supply. Its current total rainfall for the year sits at 447 millimetres – less than half the 10-year average of 957mm.
The council says Duvauchelle’s water supply is also under extra pressure, with the streams that supply it running particularly low for November.
Last month Christchurch residents were also urged to start watching their water use as demand on the city’s water supply network ramped up early.
The seasonal outlook from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) indicates the current warm and dry trend is likely to continue until at least the end of the year.
