The restaurant has a new name: Guaner Buffet House. It has no alcohol licence now so there will be no alcohol with dinner tomorrow - sorry. But you can bring your alcohol drinks to Kim's NZSL club! Open from 5pm until dinner at 7pm. We are not allowed alcohol in Guaner Buffet House so please don't bring any in. Thank you
