Waitress was lovely and took our order correctly. Cook obviously doesn't care or read how people like their meal- salad came out with onion in it and the male waiters solution was to just remove it frm my plate. Steak cooked- medium well came out blood red and bleeding profusely on the inside and with bits of charcole on the outside, they took it back to fix it and it came back with more charcole on the outside, still RED on the inside but at least the bleeding had stopped. Asked for no pepper seasoning and the potato the steak was sitting on had pepper all thru it.nOnce again Waitress was lovely and did her job well, the rest of the staff totally useless and uncaring.

The staff were great, the room has everything you need for the cost and it’s an adorable little town. Food was next level!

Such an adorable pub, the staff were all incredibly attentive and lovely and the steak sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend if you're ever around Matamata
